Norstar Voice Mail FAX User Guide
This guide explains how to use the Norstar Voice Mail FAX option with
your personal mailbox. It explains how to receive, print and send fax
documents (Fax messages).
All Norstar telephones provide Norstar Voice Mail voice prompts. On
telephones with display buttons, the voice prompts are delayed for five
seconds. If you don’t see an option on your telephone display, wait for the
voice prompt to announce the additional options.
To use Norstar Voice Mail FAX features, press the display buttons or the
dialpad buttons on your Norstar telephone.
When you see a display button like this: PLAY
,
or a dialpad button like this: ¤
,
press either one to activate the Norstar Voice Mail feature. This guide shows
you both methods.
Note: Thisdocumentexplains the NorstarVoiceMail features relatedtothe
FAX option. If you need instructions about how to use other
Norstar Voice Mail Features, refer to your Norstar Voice Mail User
Guide or your Norstar Voice Mail Reference Guide .
Learning about the Norstar Voice Mail FAX option
The Norstar Voice Mail FAX option allows you to use Fax features with
your personal mailbox.
A fax document in a mailbox is called a Fax message. Fax messages can be
either voice introduced or non-voice introduced. This means the caller can
leave a Fax message in a mailbox with or without an introductory voice
message. The Norstar Voice Mail FAX option allows a caller to leave a Fax
message in a personal mailbox for a mailbox owner. The mailbox owner can:
• retrieve and print the Fax message on a fax machine
• forward the Fax message to another mailbox.

About the virtual Fax line
A line can be assigned to a mailbox to act as a virtual fax line. Any Fax
messages sent to the virtual fax line bypass the greeting and Automated
Attendant. The Fax message is sent immediately to your mailbox. This Fax
messageisaccessed in thesameway that youaccessother Fax messages.For
more information about accessing Fax messages, refer to "Receiving a Fax
message" on page 4.
See your System Coordinator for the telephone number of your virtual fax
line. Then you can advise people of your new fax line number.
Your Personal mailbox greeting
In your Personal mailbox greeting, you must inform callers that they can
leave Fax messages in your mailbox. Also inform callers that they must be
calling from a fax machine telephone to send you a Fax message. The caller
must press
°
and START/SEND on the fax machine. Norstar Voice Mail
automatically receives and stores the Fax message in your mailbox. For
example:
“ Hello. You have reached Brian Purdy with Ideal Office Machines. I am in
the office today, but I am currently away from the phone. Please leave your
name, telephone number and a brief message after the tone.
If you want to send me a fax and you are calling from a fax machine
telephone, press
° and then press the START/SEND button on the fax
machine.”
For more information about Personal mailbox greetings, refer to the
Norstar Voice Mail User Guide or ask your System Coordinator.

Receiving a Fax message
You can receive two types of Fax messages: non-voice introduced and voice
introduced. An introduction is a voice message the caller leaves with the Fax
message. In a non-voice introduced Fax message, the caller only leaves the
Fax message.
It is not possible for a caller to send a Fax message to your personal mailbox
by using the autosend feature on their fax machine. If the caller attempts to
use autosend, the call will be answered by a person, such as a receptionist or
the mailbox owner. A call sent by autosend may also be answered by the
Automated Attendant. If the Automated Attendant detects a fax tone, the call
is transferred to the designated Fax Answering extension.
Note: If you answer a call and hear a fax tone, transfer the call to your
mailbox by pressing
ƒ·°fl .
Then you receive the Fax
message in your mailbox.
8. At the tone, record your greeting and
press OK or
£ to end your recording.
Do not use the Norstar Handsfree
Feature to record a greeting. For best
results, speak directly into the telephone
handset, clearly and at a pace that is easy
to understand.
Note: Your greeting should tell callers they
can leave a Fax message in your
mailbox. Refer to "Your Personal
mailbox greeting" on page 2.
9. Press OK
or
£ to accept the greeting.
