PC-FAXconnectivity, Requirements for your computer

Beyond the basics

PC-FAXconnectivity

Note: If there is no fax software (see “Requirements for your computer”, below) installed on your computer, this interface serves no function. So, you must have installed such software on your computer before you connect the RS- 232C interface cable between your computer and your fax machine.

An important note about compatibility

While PC-FAXfeature should work with most fax software, there may be some fax packages with which it may not work:

If you experience trouble, try the following (in this order):

•Please confirm that you are following all instructions and following them in the correct order.

•If you still have trouble, contact the manufacturer of your fax software.

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

Making the PC-FAXconnection

To connect your fax machine and your computer, you need an extra RS-232Cinter- face cable.

RS-232Cinterface cable

The RS-232Cinterface port on your fax has a DB-25(standard 25-pin serial) female receptacle which accepts a male DB-25 cable plug. Your computer’s serial port may have either a DB-25or DB-9(9-pin) receptacle. Please consult the interface’s PIN assignment on the following table:

Note: Please see your computer’s operating instructions about the serial interface port of your computer.
