6.3.4 Disc laim er
There are many different document formats. To avoid having to write a special conversion routine for each
possible format, CompuFax PC Interface uses a Windows built-in mechanism to convert word processed
files, by which the word processor itself is activated to do the conversion. However, some older word
processors may not lend themselves to being activated this way. If this is the case, the word processor may
need to be upgraded.
6.4 Using the PC Interface
The CompuFax PC Interface software allows users to send faxes from PCs that are networked to a
CompuFax Full Device Server, which takes care of the fax transmissions. Thus, those PCs do not require fax
modems.
6.4.1 Requirem ent s
The hardware and software requirements for the CompuFax PC Interface are:
The PC (client) must be running Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
The client must have the CompuFax PC Interface software installed
