Using the Fax Machine’s Notify Feature
Some AT&T fax machines (for example, models 5300, 5350, 9025 Plus, and
9035 PIus) have a feature called Notify. After such a machine receives a fax
call, it automatically dials a number and plays a recorded message, such as,
“You have just received a fax.” If you need to know exactly when a fax comes
in, or if your fax machine is located in an isolated part of your building, you can
use Notify in any of the following ways:
■
Program the fax machine to make a ringing or voice-signaled intercom
call to an individual extension or to a group. (Program the fax machine to
dial [
✳ ] plus the extension number for a voice-signaled call; [ 7 ] and a
group number (1–4) for a call to a Calling Group; [
7 ] [ 7 ] and a group
number (1–6) for a call to a Hunt Group.)
■
Program the fax machine to turn on the Message light at someone’s
extension by dialing [
# ] [ 0 ] [ 9 ] plus the extension number.
■
Program the fax machine to dial [ 7 ] [ 0 ] to make its recorded
announcement over your loudspeaker paging system.
For all of the above examples, program the fax machine extension’s
Automatic
Line Selection
for “intercom first,” followed by whatever outside lines you want
to assign to it. (If you set the fax extension to select “intercom first” and the
machine has an auto dial feature, program [
9 ] Pause Pause before each Auto
Dial number. For information about Pause, see “Special Dialing Functions” in
Chapter 5. When manually making a call, dial [
9 ] to get an outside line. For
instructions on how to set the
Automatic Line Selection, see Chapter 5.)
Setting Up Fax Machines
There are many ways to set up fax machines. The following configurations are
basic and easy to use:
■
■
■
Single fax machine. Good for light or moderate fax traffic. This basic
setup uses a published fax number.
Fax machine line saver. Good for light fax traffic, with no need for a
published fax number.
Send and receive fax machines. Good for high-volume fax traffic. One
machine sends, the other receives.
You can install both a telephone and a fax machine on the same extension—see
“Combination Extensions” in the PARTNER
II Communications System
Installation guide). This lets you receive both voice and fax calls on the same
line (but not at the same time). If you pick up the phone and hear a fax signal,
push the [
Start ] button on your fax machine and then hang up.
If you are using PARTNER MAIL Automated Attendant service, PARTNER MAIL
transfers fax calls to the fax extension automatically. If you are using multiple
fax machines, put all of the fax extensions into a single Hunt Group (any of
groups 1–6), and identify the fax destination to PARTNER MAIL (using the
appropriate programming procedures). PARTNER MAIL will automatically
transfer fax calls to the fax Hunt Group.
