Using LAN-Fax

You can send a document created with a Windows application from a computer connected to the machine to another fax machine.

Connect computers to the machine via parallel port, LAN, wireless LAN, or USB 2.0.

  • To send a fax, simply select [Print...] from the Windows application, then select LAN-Fax as the printer, and then specify a destination. LAN-Fax enables paperless faxing from your computer to the other destinations.

  • In addition to sending faxes, the LAN-Fax Driver allows this machine to be used for printing out documents prepared on a computer for proof checking.

  • To use the LAN-Fax Driver, connect this machine to computers and make the necessary network settings, and then install the LAN-Fax Driver and the related utilities on your computer.
