Additional Information
The FaxPress supports most commonly used applications. FaxPress always supports output files from applications that support Shell execute.
To confirm your attachment works with FaxPress, 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 will not support the attachment. |
3. | Select Print. If the application prints, then it is likely supported by FaxPress. |
Faxes can be previewed using the Preview Fax button in the 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 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.
