Beyond the basics

Printing from your computer to your fax

With the RS-232Cinterface installed, you can now use your fax machine to print let- ters, reports, graphics and other business correspondence directly from your computer.

Here’s how to use the printing feature:

1 Make sure your fax is connected to your computer (see page 2.43).

2 Computer: Use your application — for example, a word-processing program — to send the document to your fax software, just as if you were actually going to fax the document.

3 Fax machine: Make sure that you have stored your subscriber ID (see page 1.11) on your machine.

4 Computer: When the fax software asks you to enter a fax number for sending the document, enter your subscriber ID.

5 Computer:to print. Instruct your fax software to transmit. The fax machine will begin

Sending/receiving faxes with your computer

You can also receive documents from another fax onto your computer, as well as transmit documents from your computer to other faxes. As with scanning, the exact procedure for sending/receiving will depend on how your computer’s particular fax software works.

Note: Please consult your software’s operating instructions for more details.

Still, here are the basics:

1 Make sure your fax is connected to your computer (see page 2.43).

2 Computer: If your fax software allows it, turn off Error Correction Mode (ECM).

3 Computer: Instruct your fax software to send or receive. The fax machine will begin either transmitting or receiving.
