Send And Receive Fax Machines - AT&T Partner II Installation And Use Manual

The fax machine automatically answers all calls that come in on the fax line. If a
call comes in on another line, you can transfer the call to the fax extension (see
"Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine" on page 7-2). If you have programmed
a Fax Management button, you can monitor the status of the fax machine (see
"Fax Management Feature" on page 7-2).

Send and Receive Fax Machines

If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines,
one that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 7-2
there are two fax machines. Fax 1 is the send machine; fax 2 is the receive
machine. The number for primary line B is published as the fax number.
When you want to send a fax, just lift the handset of fax 1. Incoming fax calls on
the fax line are answered automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in on a line
other than line B, you can transfer the call to fax 2 (see "Transferring a Call to
the Fax Machine" on page 7-2). If you have programmed a Fax Management
button, you can monitor the status of the fax machine (see "Fax Management
Feature" on page 7-2).
