Basic Operation for Sending Faxes from a Computer

This section describes the basic operation for sending faxes from a computer.

You can select the destination from the LAN-Fax address book or enter the fax number directly. You can send faxes to up to 150 destinations at one time.

Important

  • Before sending a fax, the machine stores all the fax data in memory. If the machine's memory becomes full while storing this data, the fax transmission will be canceled. If this happens, lower the resolution or reduce the number of pages and try again.

  • The following procedure is based on Windows 7 as an example. If you are using another operating system, the procedure might vary slightly.

1Open the file you want to send.

2On the [File] menu, click [Print...].

3Select the LAN-Fax driver as the printer, and then click [Print].

4Specify a destination.

  • To specify a destination from the LAN-Fax address book:

    Click the [Address Book] tab, and select the address book in [Address Book:], and then click [Open]. Select a destination in the destination list, and then click [Set as Destination].

    Repeat this step to add more destinations.

  • To enter a fax number directly:

    Click the [Specify Destination] tab, and enter a fax number (up to 128 digits) in [Fax Number:], and then click [Set as Destination].

    Repeat this step to add more destinations.

5If you want to attach a fax cover sheet, select [Attach a Cover Sheet] on the [Send Options] tab.

For details, see Editing a Fax Cover Sheet.

6Click [Send].

Note

  • A fax number can contain 0 to 9, "P" (pause), "T(t)" (tone), "Asterisk", "Sharp" and "-".

  • To use tone services on a pulse-dialing line, insert "Asterisk" in a fax number. "Asterisk" switches the dialing mode from pulse to tone temporarily.

  • To delete an entered destination, select the destination in the [Destination List], and then click [Delete from List].
