Telephone Billing

6. Special

Functions

If you are on a PBX, you can have the machine send a code to the PBX that 
identifies the sender for billing purposes each time a fax is sent. Telephone 
billing is possible in two ways: using Department Control and by direct billing 
code entry.

If you are using the Department Control function, you can use Department 
Codes for telephone billing. In this case, the machine will automatically send 
the Department Code that a department member enters to access the 
machine to the PBX. The PBX can then use the Department Code to bill the 
call to that department. 

To use Department Control for telephone billing, program a Department Code 
for each group that will use the machine (see 

Department Control

 on page 

180), and then have your dealer activate Department Control. After this, set 
Option Setting 26 (Telephone Billing Code) to ON as explained on page 196.

If you don’t want to use Department Control for telephone billing, you can 
have users enter an assigned billing code (any number up 9 digits long) each 
time they use the machine. The machine will automatically send this code to 
the PBX for billing purposes. To use this function, have your dealer activate 
the function and then set Option Setting 26 (Telephone Billing Code) to ON as 
explained on page 196. 

Note: The billing code should be assigned by your PBX administrator. Billing 
codes are not programmed into the machine.

Users should enter their billing code as follows when performing an operation 
on the machine. The code need only be entered when calling outside of the 
PBX.
