Sending Faxes from Your PC

With Eclipse FAX SE, you can create a document in any Windows application and then fax it from your PC.
You can also fax a document to a file in order to use it later as a fax document (see "Faxing a Document to a
File") and forward faxes you've received to other recipients (see "Forwarding a Fax").

Before sending a PC fax, you may want to create one or more Eclipse FAX SE phonebooks. You can create
as many as six phonebooks (lists of related names and fax numbers) to simplify the process of sending faxes.
Although you can create phonebooks from the Send Fax dialog box, it's easier to add phonebooks first, using
the instructions under "Using Phonebooks."

You may also want to change the fax header, which is printed on top of every page of your outgoing faxes.
The header is set up during installation, but you can change it any time by choosing

OfficeJet Setup/Send Fax

Setup

from the HP OfficeJet LX Manager menu bar. For more information, see "Changing the Header for

Your Outgoing Faxes" in chapter 2.

Note:

Every time you send a fax with Eclipse FAX SE, a data file of the fax contents is added to your

disk. These files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. For this reason, we recommend
that you use the Send Log frequently to delete unneeded files.

Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing

There may be times when you want to switch your Dialing Mode from Pulse to Tone while dialing a fax number
in Eclipse FAX SE -- for example, if you want to enter a credit card number after dialing the fax number. For
instructions, see "Switching from Pulse to Tone Dialing" in chapter 2.

Inserting a Pause in a Fax Number

You may sometimes want your HP OfficeJet LX to pause while dialing a number from Eclipse FAX SE; for
example, if you need to wait for an access tone, or when you're using a credit card. For information, see "Inserting
a Pause in a Fax Number" in chapter 2.
