Print to Fax
The Print to fax feature eliminates the need to print an original document and put it on the
scanner glass to send a fax the conventional way. You can create or receive a soft copy
document on your computer and send a black and white fax of it to someone else.
NOTE: You cannot receive soft copy faxes, only send them. All incoming faxes will print from
your printer.
To send a fax from your computer program using the fax modem in your printer:
1 With your document open, click File →Print.
2 In the printer list, select Dell Printer Fax Tools.
3 Click Print.
4 To Print to fax, follow the instructions in the program that launches.
NOTE: All faxes sent using the Print to fax feature use the Fine resolution.
