Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine
There are two situations in which you would want to transfer a call to your fax
machine:
You answer an outside call and hear a fax machine signaling. (A fax signal
is a single beep sequence— beep.... beep.... beep ). If you hear this, you
should transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.
You are on a call with a person who wants to send you a fax using the fax
machine that is connected to his or her phone. You can receive the fax by
transferring the call to your fax extension. Tell the other party to wait until
he or she hears the fax signal before pressing the Start button on the
sending fax machine.
In addition, if you have a PARTNER MAIL system and a fax call comes in on a line
covered by the PARTNER MAIL system, its Automated Attendant Service can be
programmed to automatically transfer the call to a fax extension or (if you have
multiple fax machines) to the extension Hunt Group for the fax machines.
There are four ways to transfer the call to the fax extension:
If you have a Fax Management button, simply press the button. When the
fax machine answers, hang up.
If you do not have a Fax Management button, press
machine's extension number. When the fax machine answers, hang up.
On a standard phone, rapidly press and release the switchhook to place
the call on hold, then dial the fax extension number and hang up.
Table 4-1.
Indicates...
Fax trouble. The fax machine is not answering. If
broken flutter occurs because the fax machine is out
of paper, refill the paper. The light clears the next
time the machine transmits or receives a call. If the
machine takes longer than four rings to answer, the
light shows fax trouble; when the machine does
answer, the light changes to fax busy (red steady).
Fax busy. The fax machine is busy transmitting or
receiving a call.
Fax transfer return. A call you transferred to the fax
machine was not answered and is returning to you.
