3.1  Introduction to Send Fax 

The Send Fax application allows you to send a fax from virtually every PC 
application with print option. With the installation of the Send Fax application 
a printer is added to the computer's list of printers. Use the 

print

-command 

in your application to transfer the document to the Send Fax application, 
which consequently starts up. In the Send Fax application one or more 
recipients can be chosen from an address book. New entries to the address 
book can easily be made. The Send Fax has a preview function that allows 
you to have a last look at the fax before sending it off. When 

Send Fax

 is 

clicked the fax is uploaded to the Fax Server IP that will automatically take 
care of the fax transmission. After fax transmission the Fax Server can report 
the transmission result back to the User of the Send Fax through E-mail. The 
settings for the Send Fax application are located in the Send Fax Options. 
The Send Fax Options can be entered from the Send Fax application or from 
the windows 

START

 menu. 

3.2 Installation 

Placing the CD-ROM in your computer gives you a choice of installation of 
Send Fax or Fax Archive software. Choose to install the Send Fax software. 
If the installation is not started automatically, consult the 

readme

 file on the 

CD to start installation manually. Follow the instructions on the screen.  

3.3  Setting up the Send Fax 

Setting up the Send Fax application presumes the presence of a Fax Server 
on the network. Send Fax settings are made in the Send Fax Options. The 
Send Fax Options can be entered from the Start menu.
