20 Scanning from scanner buttons Back to TOC
Supported fax programs
Supported fax programs allow the scanner to scan items directly into 
new fax messages. If a scanned image automatically appears in a new 
fax message, your fax program is supported.
If you are using an unsupported fax program, the scanner cannot scan 
items directly into a fax message. The scanner scans the item but then 
prompts you to save the scanned image as a file. After saving the 
image as a file, open a fax message and attach the file as you normally 
do.
To be prompted to save the file, make sure that Image file is selected 
in the button options. Otherwise, you receive an error message when 
you press F
AX at the scanner.
See "Changing settings for buttons" on page 25 to check or change 
which fax program is set as the default, or to set Image file as the 
default.
