Sending a fax using the computer

Faxing from a computer lets you send electronic documents without leaving your desk. This gives you the flexibility of faxing documents directly from software programs.

For Windows users

1 From your software program, click File ª Print.

2 From the Print window, select your printer, and then click Properties.

Note: In order to perform this function from your computer, you must use the PostScript printer driver for your printer.

3 Click the Other Options tab, and then click Fax.

4 Click OK, and then click OK again.

5 On the Fax screen, type the name and number of the fax recipient.

6 Click Send.

For Mac OS X version 10.5 users

The steps for sending a fax from the computer vary depending on your operating system. For specific instructions using other Macintosh OS versions, see your Mac OS Help.

1 With a document open, choose File > Print.

2 From the Printer pop-up menu, choose your printer.

Note: In order to see the fax options on the Print dialog, you must use the fax driver for your printer. To install the fax driver, choose Add a printer, and then install the printer again with a different name, choosing the fax version of the driver.

3 Enter the fax information (for example, the name and number of the fax recipient).

Creating shortcuts

Creating a fax destination shortcut using the Embedded Web

Server

Instead of entering the entire phone number of a fax recipient on the printer control panel each time you want to send a fax, you can create a permanent fax destination and assign a shortcut number. You can create a shortcut to a single fax number or a group of fax numbers.

1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the address in the TCP/IP section.

2 Click Settings.
