FAX from Saved Document

[DickHildreth]

The FAX interface only allows for creating a cover page and scanning a new document.

How do I FAX a document saved to disk?

You can do this if you can open the file to be faxed on your computer.

First, of course, configure the fax setup using either the standard tools or using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

tab Fax

The User Guide provides extensive "how-to" information for your fax.

See the section that explains how to select the Fax option - Page 41

Partial Excerpt from the Page

To send a standard fax from the computer (Windows)
1. Open the document on your computer that you want to fax.
2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
3. From the Name list, select the printer that has “fax” in the name.
4. To change settings (such as selecting to send the document as a black fax or a color fax), click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
5. After you have changed any settings, click OK.
6. Click Print or OK.
7. Enter the fax number and other information for the recipient, change any further settings for the fax, and then click Send Fax. The printer begins dialing the fax number and faxing the document.
