CHAPTER 2: Introduction
•
Background Send and Receive
functions.
The Tote-A-Fax 542 sends and
receives fax files in background
mode. You continue to work
while your fax transmissions go
to their destination; you
continue to work while incoming
faxes arrive at your
laptop/portable PC. The Tote-A-
Fax 542 doesn’t tie you down or
hold you back from your other
tasks. The end result: you send
and receive your faxes without
wasting time or being distracted
from current work in other
applications.
•
Print fax files directly to a
printer.
The Tote-A-Fax 542 will print
your received fax files to your
local Epson dot matrix printer
or Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
II/III laser printer (or
compatible printers). HGA,
CGA, EGA, and VGA mono- and
color-modes are supported, too.
You can make those incoming
faxes jump through a few other
hoops, too: they can be flipped,
compressed, or expanded for
better viewing, and they can be
displayed or printed either
automatically or on demand.
•
Schedule fax transmission to
save money.
The Tote-A-Fax 542 lets you
schedule your fax transmissions.
This means you can send files at
some time in the future so that
you can take advantage of lower
telephone rates. You save money
in telephone line connect
charges. Plus the Tote-A-Fax 542
provides an activity log to
monitor and manage your
incoming and outgoing fax calls;
print the activity log to add to
your business account ledger.
•
Transmit a fax to a single remote
fax or to any number of fax
machines.
The Tote-A-Fax lets you do a
traditional fax transmission
(point A to point B) and it gives
you the ability to broadcast a fax
file to a group of fax machines.
This would be very helpful to
travellers who need to get the
same information out to a
number of people in different
places.
