PC FAXING
PC Faxing
This section provides information and instructions for PC Faxing from a
computer workstation connected to the WorkCentre 490cx. Using this
method, a fax is sent without first printing it and placing the printed document
in the Automatic Document Feeder. This process is controlled by a PC
Faxing application called LaserFAX Lite.
What is LaserFAX Lite?
LaserFAX Lite software is an application that is used to enable PC Faxing
using the WorkCentre 490cx. If selected during the installation of the other
software components for the WorkCentre 490cx, the LaserFAX Lite
application is installed automatically.
After it is installed, LaserFAX becomes a selection among the printing
devices for your computer workstation. When you send a fax directly from
your PC, you simply select LaserFAX as the destination for a print job. A
LaserFAX dialog is then displayed that prompts you to enter the phone
number and other information for the fax job.
LaserFAX Installation
To install LaserFAX Lite, no additional special hardware is required. Simply
ensure that the WorkCentre 490cx is connected to the computer workstation
using either the supplied IEEE 1284 parallel cable or a USB cable, and a
phone line has also been connected to the Tel Line input on the back of the
WorkCentre 490cx.
The system requirements and procedures for installing LaserFAX Lite
software are contained in
Installing Software
. Refer to that section if
LaserFAX Lite is not already installed on your computer workstation.
