Office Jet Pro 8600: When I send a file to the fax via the print dialogue, it will add it as a file to be sent to a fax #. I'm also allowed to add a "scan" file if I choose. However, I can not add additional files to the same fax. Instead, I have to send multiple faxes or buy software to combine my .pdf files into one document.

 

Additionally, if I open the fax dialoge from the start menu I don't have the option of faxing files at all - only scanning. I'm finding it hard to believe there isn't a way to manually add files into the fax console. Ideas?

I just double-checked to make sure, and no. There is no way to attach another document to what you are sending. You would have to combine the documents to get them to fax together. Alternately, since you are working with PDF files and will need a paid for version of a PDF reader to do this, you can copy and paste the contents of each PDF you want to send into a Word document. That will get everything sent in one fax, and prevent you from having to pay for extra software. You may have to do a little formatting to make things look right, but it will work. Hope that helps.
