FAXING A DOCUMENT FROM A 
COMPUTER (PC-FAX)
If a computer is connected to the machine and the PC-FAX driver installed in the computer, a document created on 
the computer can be sent directly to a fax machine. There is no need to print the document and then scan it on the 
machine.
USING PC-FAX TRANSMISSION
To fax a document using the PC-FAX function, use the same procedure as when you print the document from the 
application. First switch to the installed PC-FAX driver and then execute printing. Image data for fax transmission will 
be generated and the image sent as a fax.
For more information on using the PC-FAX function, see the "Operation manual" that is installed along with the 
PC-FAX driver. To open the manual, click the Windows Start button, select "All Programs" ("Programs" in operating 
systems other than Windows XP), "SHARP PC-FAX Driver", and then "Operation manual".
• This function can only be used for transmission. Faxes sent to the machine cannot be received by the 
computer.
• After sending a fax from your computer, check with the recipient to see if the fax was received. You can also 
check the result of transmission on a Activity report. (p.85)
• Regardless of the fax settings, this function only rotates 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) length (11" x 17" (A3) width) originals 
before transmission.
• Originals less than 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) width are transmitted as 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) width documents.
• This function can only be used in a Windows environment.
Note
Select the PC-FAX driver and 
follow the same procedure as 
when printing the document.
