Message 102
Note! To check the layout of your fax before sending it, tap Preview on the
toolbar. If you are in the Folder view, select the fax, then select Preview fax
on the Message menu.
Tip! You can use the commands on the Insert and Text menus while creating
your fax to add objects from other programs and to apply formatting to your
message.
Writing a fax in another program
You can create faxes from documents you have produced in other programs
on your MC 218. When you choose to send that document by fax, you need to
address the fax and write a cover sheet in the Message program, then fax both
the cover sheet and document together.
To prepare a fax:
1. Open the file you want to send as a fax.
2. On the File menu, select the Printing Print command.
3. Tap the Printer button, change the printer to ‘Fax’ and select OK.
4. Tap the Print button to start preparing the fax.
5. Once you tap the Print button the fax will be created, and the Message
program will open for you to enter the fax number and write the cover
sheet.
6. Once you have entered the details, tap Save to outbox on the toolbar to
queue the fax for sending, or Save as draft to save it as a draft.
Entering the fax number
You need to enter the number of the fax and the name of the recipient in these
lines:
• Fax number: the number of the fax, using the Country, Area and Number
prompts.
Note! If you only enter a number in one of these prompts it is taken as the
local number you want to dial and not the international dialling code.
• Attention of: the name of the recipient of the fax.
Tip! Tap Address on the toolbar to insert a fax number from Contacts.
Sending faxes
To send the faxes you have put in the outbox:
1. Make sure the MC 218 and your Ericsson infrared modem phone (or fixed
line modem and phone line) are set up and ready to connect.
2. Tap Send on the toolbar, or select Send from outbox on the Transfer
menu, and select:
• Fax: if you have one or more faxes in the outbox and want to send all
of them in turn.
• Selected: if you have highlighted the specific fax you want to send in
the outbox.
• All: if you have more than one type of message in the outbox and want
to send all of them.
