Handling faxes on your PC

System requirements

You can also use the features of your fax machine your PC. The fax functions can also be used in addition to the printer function. The following minimum requirements are essential in this respect:

•IBM compatible PC with i80486 processor or higher

•4 MB RAM or higher

•Serial (V.24) interface for connection to the TF 461

•MS-DOS 5.0 operating system or higher

•Class 1 fax software (e.g. WinFax Pro 4.0)

•Serial interface with 16550 UART module*)

*) The UART-module controls the data transfer process of the serial interface. At transmission speeds of more than 9600 bit/s, the UART 8250 module and compatible modules frequently used in a PC do not always operate perfectly. As your fax machine transports data via its serial interface at approx. 19200 bit/s, there may be problems with the UART 8250. If data transmission from your fax machine to the PC (and vice versa) does not function perfectly, it maybe necessary to replace the existing UART module with a UART 16550 (manufacturer: National Semiconductor) or compatible module. In most PCs, the serial interface is implemented in the form of a plug-in card. In this case, replace the existing plug-in card with a new card featuring a UART 16550 module.
