Using the Fax Machine’s Notify Feature
Some AT&T fax machines (for example, models AT&T 5300, 5350, 9025 Plus,
and 9035 Plus) 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 one of two ways:
Set up the fax machine to make a ringing or voice-signaled call to another
extension. (Include [
★ ] plus the extension number for a voice-signaled
call.)
Set up the fax machine to group page all system phones (by dialing [
★ ]
[
7 ]; then play the recorded message.
For the above examples, set up the fax machine extension’s Automatic Line
Selection to select “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, include a 9 and one or more pauses, if
available, before each auto dial number. When manually making a call, dial [
9 ]
to get an outside line. For instructions on how to set Automatic Line Selection,
see Chapter 5.)
