Changing Fax Settings
If you want to view or change the fax options, access the fax properties or fax
printing preferences dialog box of the fax driver.
You can access the fax properties dialog box either from the application's [Print]
dialog box and the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows 98/Me/2000: [Printers]) folder, or
the fax printing preferences dialog box from the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows
2000: [Printers]) folder.
To access the dialog box, follow this procedure below.
NOTE
•
If you open the fax properties dialog box from the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows 98/Me/
2000: [Printers]) folder, you can set up the fax configuration and configure the fax settings
for all Windows applications. The fax printing preferences dialog box enables you to
specify the default settings for the faxing options available when you fax with the Canon
MF8100 Series (only for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003).
•
The number of tabs displayed in the properties dialog box will vary, depending on the
type of operating system you are using and the method you use to access the dialog box.
•
The method you use to access the dialog boxes determines how long the faxing options
remain in effect:
- If you access the dialog box from an application's [Print] dialog box, your selected
faxing options apply only to the current fax job. They will not be stored when you close
the application.
- If you access the dialog box from the [Printers and Faxes] (Windows 98/Me/2000:
[Printers]) folder, selected faxing options apply to all Windows applications and remain
in effect until you change those settings.
