INSTALLATION
Initial settings
Certain steps (dependent upon the hardware configurations of
your system and the type of software you are using) need to be
taken to enable the operation of your software.
Serial port printer connections
Some programs send data directly to the serial port when the
software is set to print to a serial (COM) port. Your fax cannot
be sent from this type of program. You must first set the
program to print to a file and use the filename COM1.PRN. This
filename is recognized by the fax software, and treats this file as
a port from which it can intercept. During the install program,
specify COM1 as the printer port.
If your program does not have the ability to print to a file, use
the fax software redirection feature along with a MS-DOS
command to fax with a serial port. Configure your programs to
print to LPT1. During the install program, select COM1 as the
printer port. Use the fax software redirection feature to select
LPT1 as the redirection port (see “Setting advanced options with
INSTALL/A” in the “Administering the fax software” chapter). Use
a MS-DOS mode command to set up communication settings for
the serial port. Consult your MS-DOS manual for information
regarding mode commands.
Do not use a MS-DOS mode redirection command such as
LPT1=COM1.
Windows installations
If you have installed the fax software to use in the Windows
environment, the fax software loads automatically when you start
Windows. The Fax or Print dialog box appears when you
execute a Windows application print command.
The Fax or Print dialog box allows you to select between faxing
and printing your document. You can prevent the Fax or Print
