After a few seconds exchanging pleasantries (handshaking), the machines decide to get
down to the business of the call: sending and receiving a fax document.
A fax document is one or more sheets of paper which have been placed in the
transmitting (sending or TX) machine. As soon as the machines have finished with their
ÒintroductionsÓ, the document begins to move through the transmitting machine where
it is read and converted to a data signal, exactly as in a copier. The difference here is that
the print mechanism of the copying process is not located in the same machine as the
reading mechanism. It is several miles, or even several thousand miles, away, and prints
the data signals which arrive over the telephone line in the form of tones.
As far as it goes, this description of the fax process is accurate, and should be kept in
mind whenever using any fax machine.
Multi-function machine
But...your new SAMSUNG multi-function machine provides features far beyond those of
the basic fax. The multi-function fax machine package, consisting of the SF4100 or SF4200
series fax machine and the software for your PC, are designed to work together to
effectively combine the utility of the fax machine with the power of the Personal
Computer, thus providing a spectrum of useful features not possible with either unit
alone.
Your PC utilizes the SAMSUNG multi-function machine as an input and output device,
very much like any other attachment you may currently have connected to your
computer. This package will enable you to scan text and graphic documents and store or
edit them in your PC. You may also print any document contained in your PC, in color,
on your multi-function machine.
Additionally, your PC serves as a versatile control unit for your multi-function machine.
You will see how to receive faxes directly into your PC, send documents directly from
word processing or graphics applications, even control your multi-function machine
remotely, a very useful feature when traveling out of the office to other locations.
The remainder of this manual will show you how to use each of these features to save
time and money.
