USE
THE
COMMUNICATION
PORT
When the LinkFax module is installed, the port on the PC to which the
fax machine is connected is selected for managing multi-functional ink
jet machines (LinkFax port) supported by the module.
To use other devices
If you need to use this port for devices other than this kind of machine,
you can temporarily deselect the port and then reselect it:
•
Unplug the interface cable from the machine: LinkFax automati-
cally deselects the use of the port (a red X will appear on top of the
fax machine icon on the Windows task bar in the bottom right-hand
corner of the screen).
•
Connect the interface cable to the port on the other device (for
example, a printer) you want to use.
