Sending a fax using the computer

Faxing from a computer lets you send electronic documents without leaving your desk. This gives you the flexibility

of faxing documents directly from software programs.

Note: In order to perform this function from your computer, you must use the PostScript printer driver for your printer.

1

From your software program, click File ª Print.

2

From the Print window, select your printer, and then click Properties.

3

Choose the Other Options tab, and then click Fax.

4

Click OK, and then click OK again.

5

On the Fax screen, type the name and number of the fax recipient.

6

Click Send.

Creating shortcuts

Creating a fax destination shortcut using the Embedded Web

Server

Instead of entering the entire phone number of a fax recipient on the printer control panel each time you want to

send a fax, you can create a permanent fax destination and assign a shortcut number. A shortcut can be created to

a single fax number or a group of fax numbers.

1

Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address

in the TCP/IP section.

2

Click Settings.

3

Click Manage Shortcuts.

Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, get one from your system support

person.

4

Click Fax Shortcut Setup.

5

Type a unique name for the shortcut, and then enter the fax number.
To create a multiple-number shortcut, enter the fax numbers for the group.

Note: Separate each fax number in the group with a semicolon (;).

6

Assign a shortcut number.
If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

7

Click Add.
