Handling faxes on your PC
Scanning documents into the PC
You can transfer your documents to your PC via the sheet feed of your TF 461. The document is then available as an image file in your PC, and can be processed as required.
*) This display indicates whether your PC is actually ready to receive.
The following conditions must be fulfilled:
•Ensure that the cable has been connected correctly
•The PC must be switched on
•The fax program must be loaded and active (e.g. WinFax PRO)
•The fax program must be set to automatic reception
Otherwise, the TF 461 will display the following after a certain amount of time:
PC COMM. ERROR #001
In this case, clear the error message by pressing the STOP button, and remedy the problem
Documents scanned in this way are stored in the form of image
files in your PC. An OCR program must process this file if it is to be integrated within a word processing program. This process is essential if the file is to be used as a text file ( contained in WinFax PRO).

Sending fax messages from the PC
If you have for instance created text or graphics via a word processing program, you do not need to print out the text or graphics in order to send a fax document. Winfax PRO Software transfers your document via the cable from your PC to the fax machine together with the fax number which you have specified when you were processing the document. Following internal transmission, the job is then handled as a normal job in your fax machine.
