							159(OPTION) USING THE FAX MACHINE AS A PRINTER
Simultaneous Printing/Faxing
Your fax machine can print data from your computer while sending or
receiving a fax, or while scanning information  into the computer.  However,
when the fax machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the
PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is
complete.  Fax sending continues during PC printing.
Choosing Acceptable Paper
It is recommended that you test paper, especially special sizes and types of
paper, on the fax machine before purchasing large quantities.
Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your fax machine will
be damaged.
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially plain paper
and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult
your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where you purchased
your fax machine.
Use labels or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.
For the best print quality, we recommend you use long-grained paper.
If you are using special paper, and the paper has problems feeding from the
multi-purpose sheet feeder, try again using the manual feed slot.
You can use recycled paper in this fax machine.See

NetCentric Internet Fax
Internet faxing (NetCentric FaxStorm) brings together the power of the PC and
the economy of the Internet. Outgoing faxes are relayed from your desktop to a
network providerÕs fax server over an IP connection. From the server, the fax job
is transmitted across the Internet using sophisticated least-cost-routing
algorithms, then delivered to a fax machine using local phone lines, or to another
computer as an e-mail attachment. Faxes can be sent to a single recipient or to
multiple recipients. NetCentricª FaxStorm tracks your faxes to their
destinations, and informs you of their status. When servers are down due to
Internet outages, NetCentricª FaxStorm re-routes your fax jobs and requests for
account status.
You can access incoming faxes from any web-connected desktop and even
forward them to others directly from the Inbox account.
For more information about how to use
NetCentricª FaxStorm, see the online HELP
files after you install NetCentricª FaxStorm on
your computer. Use the Help pull-down menu to

About Sending a Fax as E-mail
You can send fax files and attachments to a recipientÕs e-mail address rather
than to a fax number. When fax files are sent by e-mail, they arrive as TIFF
file attachments to the e-mail message. The recipient can then view the
TIFF files with an e-mail utility or an external image viewing application.
The e-mail message to which the TIFF files are attached includes a URL to
a web page that instructs the recipient how to configure the e-mail
application to view the TIFF file attachments.
Most of the steps for sending fax files to an e-mail address are the same as for
sending fax files to a fax number. The main difference is that you choose E-mail
from the Send As options. You must specify a valid e-mail address for the
recipient. Fax files that you have sent to an e-mail address appear in Status
Manager as job type E-mail.
If you are sending a fax to more than one recipient, choose E-mail from the Send
As options. The application sends the selected files to the e-mail address of each
person in the recipient list. If you have not provided an e-mail address for a
recipient, the fax job to that recipient is not sent.
