Sending a fax using the computer
The printer driver fax option allows you to “print to fax,” where the printer will send a queued document as a fax rather than
print it. The fax option functions as a normal fax machine, but is controlled through the printer driver instead of the printer
control panel.
1 With a document open, click File > Print.
2 Select the printer, and then navigate to:
Properties > Fax tab > Enable fax
3 Enter the recipient fax number(s) in the “Fax number(s)” field.
Fax numbers can be entered manually or by using the Phone Book feature.
4 If necessary, enter a prefix in the Dialing prefix field.
5 Select the appropriate paper size and page orientation.
6 If you want to include a cover page with the fax, then select Include cover page with fax, and enter the appropriate
information.
7 Click OK.
Notes:
• The Fax option is available for use only with the PostScript driver or the Universal Fax Driver. For information on installing
these drivers, see the Software and Documentation CD.
• The Fax option must be configured and enabled in the PostScript driver under Configuration tab before it can be used.
