2. Operation
This chapter explains how to use the fax utility to send faxes
from an MS-DOS based personal computer (PC) or Microsoft
Windows environment. Instructions include how to do the
following:
• Use the options provided in the Fax Destinations window
• Fax a document directly from the application software
• Add an optional cover page
• Send a fax to multiple locations (broadcast fax) using your
phonebook
• Create a Group Phonebook for wide distribution
• Specify a time for a delayed fax transmission
• Edit fax options.
Using the Fax Pop-up menu
Fax software works in background mode in the MS-DOS
environment. Use a Fax Pop-up menu to inform the system that
a print job should be treated as a fax. When you select to print a
file within your application software, the fax software tells the fax
printer the job should be faxed rather than printed. If you select
to print a document without first using the Fax Pop-up menu, the
document is printed as a normal print job.
The following rules apply to using the Fax Pop-up menu:
• A PostScript printer driver must be selected in the MS-DOS
application software to enable the fax software to fax from
the MS-DOS environment. Refer to your application software
to select a printer driver.
• The Fax Pop-up menu can be displayed from the MS-DOS
prompt or from MS-DOS application software, by pressing
the hot-key combination you chose during the installation.
The default hot-key combination is Alt+F1.
• To have the Fax Pop-up menu accessible over a graphics
screen, your PC must have a Hercules monochrome graphics
adapter. Any software that requires a unique keyboard
cannot be used with the Fax Pop-up menu.
