5.In the Connect Window, select C:\ CFTEMP.PS as a port, then click OK, then Close and close the Control Panel.

6.3.4 Disc laim er

There are many different document formats. To avoid having to write a special conversion routine for each possible format, CompuFax PC Interface uses a Windows built-in mechanism to convert word processed files, by which the word processor itself is activated to do the conversion. However, some older word processors may not lend themselves to being activated this way. If this is the case, the word processor may need to be upgraded.

6.4 Using the PC Interface

The CompuFax PC Interface software allows users to send faxes from PCs that are networked to a CompuFax Full Device Server, which takes care of the fax transmissions. Thus, those PCs do not require fax modems.
