Sending a fax using the computer

The printer driver fax option allows you to “print to fax,” where the scanner will send a queued document as a fax rather than print it. The fax option functions as a normal fax machine, but is controlled through the printer driver instead of the scanner control panel.

1With a document open, click File > Print.

2Select the printer, and then navigate to: Properties > Fax tab > Enable fax

3Enter the recipient fax number in the “Fax number(s)” field.

Fax numbers can be entered manually or by using the Phone Book feature.

4If necessary, enter a prefix in the Dialing prefix field.

5Select the appropriate paper size and page orientation.

6If you want to include a cover page with the fax, then select Include cover page with fax, and enter the appropriate information.

7Click OK.

Notes:

The Fax option is available for use only with the PostScript driver or the Universal Fax Driver. For information on installing these drivers, see the Software and Documentation CD.

The Fax option must be configured and enabled in the PostScript driver under Configuration tab before it can be used.

If the Always display settings prior to faxing check box is selected, then you will be prompted to verify the recipient information before the fax is sent. If this check box is cleared, then the queued document will be sent automatically as a fax when you click OK on the Fax tab.

Sending a fax using shortcuts

Fax shortcuts are just like the speed dial numbers on a telephone or fax machine. A shortcut number (1–99999) can contain a single recipient or multiple recipients.

1Load an original document facedown into the ADF or on the scanner glass.

Note: Do not place postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.

2If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.
