Setting a Personal Fax Number

Last Updated : Feb 09, 2024 |

About this task

If your system administrator has set a system fax number, any fax calls to your mailbox are diverted to the specified number. You can override this from your telephone handset and set your own personal number for printing fax calls that are received in your mailbox. This is useful if you are not in the office and want to use a different fax number.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your mailbox. See Logging In.
  2. Press 5 for personal options.
  3. Press 3 for fax preferences.
  4. If you hear the prompt "A default print destination has not been defined" this is because a default system fax number has not been set. You cannot set up a personal fax number until a default system fax number is set by your system administrator. Press *7 to return to the activity menu.
  5. If a personal fax print number is already set, it is played to you. Press 1 to change the default fax destination.
    1. Enter the telephone number of the fax machine that you would prefer to use instead. The fax number can be up to 23 digits long.
    2. Enter # when you have finished typing the fax number. The new default destination is played to you.
  6. Press *7.
