Dialing A Fax Number While Behind A Pbx; Setting The Distinctive Ring Using The Control Panel; Forwarding Faxes - Lexmark 8300 Series User Manual

Dialing a fax number while behind a PBX

If the printer is being used in a business or office, it may be connected to a Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) telephone system. Ordinarily, when dialing a fax number, the printer waits to recognize the dial tone
and then dials the fax number. However, this method of dialing may not work if the PBX telephone system
uses a dial tone that is not recognizable to most fax machines. The "Dialing while behind a PBX" feature
enables the printer to dial the fax number without waiting to recognize the dial tone.
