PC Faxing

This section provides information and instructions for PC Faxing from a computer workstation connected to the WorkCentre 385. Using this method, a fax is sent without first printing it and placing the printed document in the Automatic Document Feeder. This process is controlled by a PC Faxing application called LaserFAX Lite Version 3.5.

What is LaserFAX Lite?

LaserFAX Lite software is an application that is used to enable PC Faxing using the WorkCentre 385. If selected during the installation of the other software components for the WorkCentre 385, the LaserFAX Lite application is installed automatically.

After it is installed, LaserFAX becomes a selection among the printing devices for your computer workstation. When you send a fax directly from your PC, you simply select LaserFAX as the destination for a print job. A LaserFAX dialog is then displayed that prompts you to enter the phone number and other information for the fax job.

LaserFAX Installation

To install LaserFAX Lite, no additional special hardware is required. Simply ensure that the WorkCentre 385 is connected to the computer workstation using the supplied IEEE 1284 parallel cable, and a phone line has also been connected to the Tel Line input on the back of the WorkCentre 385.

The system requirements and procedures for installing LaserFAX Lite software are contained in Chapter 1 - Getting Started. Refer to this chapter if LaserFAX Lite is not already installed on your computer workstation.
