Additional Information

Application Support

The Premier supports most commonly used applications. FaxPress Premier users are responsible for providing the source file name with the correct file extension (i.e., .doc, .pdf, etc.). If the file extension does not match the source file, unexpected fax output or file conversion errors may occur. Users should NOT submit "non-convertible" source files (.exe, .bin, etc.) to the FaxPress Premier server. Instead of generating garbage fax output, FaxPress Premier will reject the file and generate a file conversion error for that job.

Output files from applications that support Shell execution methods are generally supported as attachments. If you need to confirm your attachment works with FaxPress Premier, follow these steps:

1. Select the file in Windows Explorer.
2. Right click to display the context menu and verify that the Print option is displayed.

If the print option is not present, FaxPress Premier will not support the attachment.

Select Print. If the application prints, then it’s likely supported by FaxPress Premier.

Previewing Faxes

Faxes can be previewed using the Preview Fax button in FaxPress Plus’s Send Fax window.

The preview function allows you to view your faxes before sending to confirm all cover page, content and transmission information is correct.

Previewing the fax also confirms that the FaxPress Premier will be able to successfully convert any attached files to faxable format. To preview the fax before sending, click the Preview Fax button.

Fax Preview works with NT-class machines (NT/XP/2000/2003/Vista), but not with Windows 95/98/ME.

Attaching Files Step by Step

To attach one or more files to your fax, follow these steps:

1. In the Send Fax window, click the Attachments tab.
2. If the file you’d like to attach exists in your Favorite Document List, select it and click Add to Attachments.
3. To add an attachment not in your Favorite Documents list, use the Browse button to find the attachment, select it, and click Add.

4. The attachment will then appear on your Attachments list in the Attachments window.

5. Use the Remove button to remove items from the Attachments List.
6. If you have multiple attachments and want them to appear in a particular order, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to arrange the items listed in the Attachments List.
