Processing the Fax

You can send your fax—either now or later—only when at least one recipient is specified. If necessary, you can place a fax on hold and return to it later for sending. The following sections provide additional information on processing your fax.

Sending the Fax Now

When you click Send Now, the fax document is placed in the Out Box folder until the fax can be transmitted. Once transmission is complete, the fax is either moved to the Sent Fax folder or deleted, based on the status of the Delete After Sending option.

If a fax fails (because of an incorrect fax number), it remains in the Out Box until you attempt to resend it or delete it.

Sending the Fax Later

If you prefer to specify the time to send the fax, click Send Later. In the Send At dialog box, enter the appropriate time within the next twenty- four hours and click OK.

The fax is placed in the Out Box folder for processing.

Holding the Fax

You can place a fax document on hold any time prior to sending it, as long as you have specified at least a fax number. The held fax is placed in the Out Box folder with no time specified for transmission. Any fax information you specified—such as recipients or cover page information—is preserved. Later you can decide to send the held fax document—revising the send information as needed—or delete it.

Cancelling the Fax

If you cancel the fax while in the Send Fax dialog, you are returned to the application where the document was originally created.
