PC Software Settings | Sending a Fax |
Your PC fax program will normally provide several communication settings which need to be adjusted to suit the external fax modem, in this case your OKIFAX 740. Appropriate settings are as follows:
Modem type: | Generic Class 1 (software flow |
| control). |
Modem initialisation: Leave at default setting. | |
Pulse/Tone dialling: | Set to suit your local telephone |
| network (the same setting as used |
| in your OKIFAX 740). |
Detect dial/busy tones: | On. |
Use ECM for Tx/Rx: | Usually on. |
Max. baud rate: | 9600 bit/s. |
Min. baud rate: | 2400 bit/s. |
PC Interface Operation
In order to use this facility you must first set the PC Interface function to ON. If you wish to discontinue using this facility, you must set the PC Interface function to OFF (see User Parameters).
When the PC interface function has been turned on, your OKIFAX 740 will operate as an external fax modem.
Outgoing fax documents may be prepared using a variety of text editors and other programs, or with the editor buit into your PC fax program. The operation manual supplied with your PC fax program will guide you through the normal operations of sending and receiving fax messages.
Receiving a Fax
To receive messages automatically when your PC fax program is running, set the number of rings in the program to a value from 1 to 9, as required. If this setting is set to 0, your OKIFAX 740 will not receive messages automatically. When set to a value greater than 9, your OKIFAX 740 will receive incoming fax messages without using the host PC.
Note: When an incoming or outgoing fax message is in progress via the PC Interface, all buttons except[STOP] are disabled. To halt the progress of a fax transaction in thos mode, press [STOP] on the fax machine, or select the STOP function within your PC fax program.
