interface installed, you can now use your fax machine to print let-
ters, reports, graphics and other business correspondence directly from your
computer.
Here’s how to use the printing feature:
1
Make sure your fax is connected to your computer (see page 2.43).
2
Computer: Use your application — for example, a word-processing program —
to send the document to your fax software, just as if you were actually going
to fax the document.
3
Fax machine: Make sure that you have stored your subscriber
ID
(see page
1.11) on your machine.
4
Computer: When the fax software asks you to enter a fax number for sending
the document, enter your subscriber
ID
.
5
Computer: Instruct your fax software to transmit. The fax machine will begin
to print.
Sending/receiving faxes with your computer
You can also receive documents from another fax onto your computer, as well as
transmit documents from your computer to other faxes. As with scanning, the exact
procedure for sending/receiving will depend on how your computer’s particular fax
software works.
Note: Please consult your software’s operating instructions for more details.
Still, here are the basics:
1
Make sure your fax is connected to your computer (see page 2.43).
2
Computer: If your fax software allows it, turn off Error Correction Mode
(
ECM
).
3
Computer: Instruct your fax software to send or receive. The fax machine will
begin either transmitting or receiving.
