Faxing (PC Fax)

The procedure for faxing a document created in an application is as follows.
NOTE
Faxing methods may differ depending on the application you are using. For details, see the instruction manuals provided with the application.
1.
Select [Print] from the [File] menu of the application.
2.
Click [Print] (or [OK]).
NOTE
In Windows 8/Server 2012, if you want to send a fax from the Windows Store app, display the charm bar to the right of the screen, and tap [Devices] -> the printer you are using -> [Print]. If the message [The printer requires your attention. Go to the desktop to take care of it.] is displayed, move to the desktop and proceed to step 3.
3.
Specify the send address in the [Fax Sending Settings] dialog box.
When entering the destination name and fax number:
Enter the recipient name and fax number in the [Sending Settings] tab -> click [Add to Destination List].
NOTE
If you have selected [Reenter Fax Number before adding Destination to [Destination List]] in the [Security Settings] dialog box of the [Special] tab, the [Confirm Password] dialog box is displayed when you click [Add to Destination List]. For details, see the online help. (See the "Viewing the Online Help (PC Fax).")
When setting the destination name from the address book:
Click [Address Book] in the [Sending Settings] tab.
Select the recipient -> click [Add to List] -> [OK].
NOTE
For details about registering addresses and how to use the address book, view the online help. (See "Viewing the Online Help (PC Fax).")

5.
Click [OK].
Faxing begins.
NOTE
If an error occurs in the printer while sending a fax, send the document once more from the fax driver. The fax job sent from the fax driver for which an error occurred will be erased regardless of whether [Redial When Error Occurs] is turned [On] or [Off] at the printer.
You cannot access or edit the address book if you do not have access permission to the destination folder of the address book. If this is the case, log on as user having access permission to the folder, or click [Specify a Folder] in the [Edit Address Book] tab, and specify a folder, such as the [My Documents] folder, that you have write permission for as the destination folder of the address book. For details, view the online help. (See "Viewing the Online Help (PC Fax).")
The number of destinations that you can send to at one time depends on the conditions under which the cover sheet has been attached. For details, view the Readme file.
The display may differ according to the operating system and system environment.
