Sending a Fax from a Windows Application

Follow these steps to fax a document from any Windows application except Eclipse FAX SE.

Note: This procedure has many options. Not all the steps are required, and the Send Fax dialog box can be completed in different ways. You may want to read through the procedure before using it for the first time.

1.Starting from any Windows application (Word for Windows, Lotus 1-2-3, Excel, and so on), create the document that you want to fax. (Saving the document is optional.)

2.Make sure that the HP OfficeJet LX Manager is running.

3.If you know that E-FAX on OfficeJet LX is selected as your printer, go on to step 4.

:Otherwise, you need to select E-FAX on OfficeJet LX as your printer. Choose File/Print Setup, or the equivalent command for your application (see the box below).

:The application's Print Setup (or equivalent) dialog box appears, containing the name of the currently selected printer. The sample dialog box shown below is from Word for Windows 6.0.

:Select E-FAX on OfficeJet LX and click OK, or the equivalent button. It may take a few seconds for the change of printers to be effective.
