The FaxPress Enterprise is equipped with a parallel printer port that allows users to print incoming faxes via the Enterprise. The parallel port supports most HP-compatible (PCL) and postscript printers. A print driver is not required when the Enterprise is used to print faxes. All of the configuration is done in the user's Enterprise profile.
FaxPress Enterprise has very sophisticated support for the printing of faxes. The following are considerations that should be addressed prior to printing.
Where can we print— Printing is supported via network printing where the FaxPress Enterprise server acts as a print client and submits print jobs on the network. In NT this is via host shareable printers and in Novell via print queues. NDPS on Netware 5 is not currently supported.
Which printer— Which specific printer is used depends on user settings. If no special selection is made, there is a FaxPress Enterprise wide, default print queue. For Novell this is the queue named serialnumber_printq.faxpresscontext
. Each user can select a different print queue if desired.
Users can also use any local printers directly available from their workstations to print FaxPress Enterprise faxes.
What can we print— Generally incoming faxes or outgoing faxes or confirmations of outgoing faxes can be printed. Also, we can print notices, transaction logs etc.
When can we print— Printing can be done automatically without user intervention by the FaxPress Enterprise performing network printing. This can be set up for incoming faxes, outgoing faxes, confirmation pages. Otherwise printing can be done by explicit user action on incoming faxes, outgoing faxes, notices, transaction logs, phonebooks etc.
To print a fax without opening it for viewing, follow these steps:
1. | From your Incoming or Outgoing Faxes list, right click on a fax and select Print. |
2. | To use a printer associated with your workstation, select Local printer driver to open your familiar Print window. Then print normally. Or, print across a FaxPress Enterprise network printer. |
3. | If you want to print to a network printer configured by your FaxPress Enterprise administrator, select FaxPress/Network... This opens the FaxPress/Network Print window. |
To print with the default configuration, click OK. To select a different printer, click the Printer button.
4. | The Printer Configuration window will be displayed. |
5. | After you have configured your printer, click OK. This will return you to the FaxPress/Network Print window. |
6. | Select number of copies to print and click OK to send the job to the printer queue. |
7. | After you’ve configured your printer, click OK. This will return you to the FaxPress/Network Print window. |
