Beyond the basics

PC-FAXfeature: fax/computer connectivity

Thanks to its PC-FAXfeature, your fax machine is not only a fax machine — it also can be an image scanner, and allows you to send and receive fax messages from within your favorite PC-based software applications.

PC-FAXfeature requirements for your computer

To use the PC-FAXfeature with your computer, you must have properly installed fax software on your computer.

Note: If there is no fax software installed on your computer, this feature serves no function. So, until you do install such software, you can skip making the RS-232Csettings (see right column).

We have tested this interface with the following software:

•BitWare™ Ver. 3.30

•BitWare™ Plus Ver. 4.0

•HydraFax™ Ver. 3.5 (34) [U.S. and Canada]

•LaserFax™ Ver. 3.5 [Except North America]

•WinFax PRO™ Ver. 4 for Windows 3.1 and Ver. 7 for Windows 95®

Important: While this feature works with variety of Class 1-compatible fax soft- ware package, it does not work with every fax software package. If you experience trouble, try the following (in this order):

•Please confirm that you are following the directions beginning in the next column. Give it several more tries, strictly following our instructions.

•If you still have trouble, please contact your fax software package’s maker.

•If the advice from your fax software manufacturer doesn’t help, then the PC-FAXfeature may not work with your computer system.

Making the PC-FAXconnection

To set up your fax machine for using PC-FAXfeature.

1 Turn off your fax machine by unplugging its power cord.

2 Connect one end of the RS-232Ccable to the RS-232Cinterface port on your fax machine.

Note: Use the appropriate RS-232Ccable for your machine. If you do not know which cable you use, please contact your authorized Muratec dealer or Muratec Customer Support Center (from the United States, call 972-364-3350. For the number to call from Canada, check your in- box documentation).

3 Connect the other end of the RS-232Ccable to your computer’s RS-232Cport. Note: If you do not know where your computer’s port is, check the com-

puter’s operating instructions. Consult your fax software for specific instructions for settings, if necessary.

Ferrite core

Note: If your RS-232Ccable does not have a ferrite core already fitted, attach the ferrite core included in your fax machine’s carton box (see page 1.2.)
