The following options, if installed on your printer, may increase performance when faxing and printing at the same time, or when sending and receiving complex faxes:

·A minimum of 8 MB RAM must be installed on your printer. 20 MB of RAM is recommended for better performance and for handling large documents.

·A high capacity hard disk drive to allow the spooling of fax jobs.

Before you begin installation

Follow these steps before beginning installation:

1.Make a backup copy of the program disk. Store the original disk in a safe place and use the backup copy.

2.Determine the hard disk drive on which to load the fax software files. The default is drive C.

3.Select a name for the hard disk directory where the files load, and make a directory (MS-DOS command: MD C:\PSFAX). The default directory name is \PSFAX.

4.Identify the port that your printer is physically connected to (LPT1, LPT2, COM1, and so forth).

5.Make sure you have approximately 354 KB available on your hard disk to store the fax software files.

6.Be certain your printer is connected to the PC and on-line.

7.Determine if simultaneously pressing Alt+F1, the hot-key combination used by the fax software, is used in any other software you use. If so, you can select another hot-key combination for the fax software during installation.

8.Make sure your MS-DOS or Windows applications have a PostScript printer driver installed.
