Faxing

The Compaq A1500 All-In-One offers three ways to send a fax:

•Using the front control panel

•Using the Compaq Control Form

•Using the computer

When sending color faxes, the receiving fax machine will print in color only if it supports color. Otherwise the fax will be sent as a traditional black and white fax.

Preparing Documents for Faxing

You can use the A1500 to fax documents that will print on standard letter, legal, or A4-sized paper. Follow these guidelines to prepare your documents.

•Removing all staples, paper clips, and similar items before feeding the document.

•Making sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before feeding the document.

Some documents cannot be fed into the scanner input feeder. For those documents, the A1500 comes with a Copy/Scan Sleeve. The sleeve is a stiff piece of plastic with a clear plastic overlay. Simply place your document between the two pieces of plastic so that your document is centered at the top and visible through the clear plastic sheet. Use the Copy/Scan Sleeve for the following types of documents:

•Envelopes

•Checks

•Receipts

•Fragile or thin documents

•Photographs

•Wrinkled or creased paper

•Curled or rolled paper

•Torn paper

•Carbon or carbon-backed paper

•Coated or glossy paper

CAUTION: Do not feed anything thicker than a normal sheet of paper

!into the scanner, even if you use the Copy/Scan Sleeve. You cannot scan credit cards, a driver’s license, etc. Doing so will damage your sleeve and the A1500.

Loading the Documents

1.Place the document(s) to be faxed face down and top down in the document input tray.

2.Adjust the document guides to match the width of the document, if necessary.

3.Slide the document down into the tray until the machine grips the first sheet. The LCD panel displays the Document Loaded message:

Sending a Fax Using the Control Panel

To send a fax using the front control panel, complete the following steps.

1.Load the documents as described above.

2.Press the Fax button.

The following appears on the LCD panel:

3.Enter the fax number using the numeric keys or press the Pause/Redial button to use the number you last called.

4.Pressing the Pause/Redial button after you have started entering a number inserts a “P” into that number. When the All-In-One dials, the “P” results in a three-second pause before sending the next digit. This is useful when you have to dial a number and wait for an outside line. (For example, 9P7135551212)

5.Press Start.

The All-In-One dials the entered fax number and the document transmits.

To quickly send a fax using the default settings, simply load the documents, enter the fax number or Speed Send number, and press the Fax button.
