Handling faxes on your PC
System requirements
You can also use the features of your fax
machine your PC. The fax functions can
also be used in addition to the printer
function. The following minimum
requirements are essential in this respect:
• IBM compatible PC with i80486
processor or higher
• 4 MB RAM or higher
• Serial (V.24) interface for connection
to the TF 461
• MS-DOS 5.0 operating system or
higher
• Class 1 fax software (e.g. WinFax Pro
4.0)
• Serial interface with 16550 UART
module*)
*) The UART-module controls the data
transfer process of the serial interface. At
transmission speeds of more than 9600
bit/s, the UART 8250 module and
compatible modules frequently used in a
PC do not always operate perfectly. As
your fax machine transports data via its
serial interface at approx. 19200 bit/s,
there may be problems with the UART
8250. If data transmission from your fax
machine to the PC (and vice versa) does
not function perfectly, it maybe necessary
to replace the existing UART module with
a UART 16550 (manufacturer: National
Semiconductor) or compatible module. In
most PCs, the serial interface is
implemented in the form of a plug-in
card. In this case, replace the existing
plug-in card with a new card featuring a
UART 16550 module.
Features
With this system, you are able to operate
your TF 461 as a
Class 1 faxmodem..
..
.
The following modes can then be used:
Mode Desription
PC-Scanner Reads documents into the PC from the sheet feed of the TF 461.
A document is stored as an image file in the PC with a
resolution of 200x200 dpi.
Send PC-Fax Files which are created in the PC ( e.g. from a word
processing program) can be sent directly via the fax machine
without having to be printed out.
Receive PC-Fax Incoming faxes are transferred via the fax machine to the
PC as an image file without being printed out.
The pages are automatically printed out if the PC is not
switched on.
Handling faxes on your PC
Please ensure that, when the fax
software is installed (e.g. WinFax
PRO), the modem type is set to
Generic CLASS 1 (Hardware Flow
Control).
The following features of WinfaxPro 4.0
are not supported:
• Polling
• Secure transmission/reception
