Sending a fax using the computer

The printer driver fax option lets you send a print job to the printer,
which sends the job as a fax. The fax option works as a normal fax
machine, but is controlled through the printer driver instead of the
printer control panel.
1
With a document open, click File > Print.
2
Select the printer, and then click Properties, Preferences,
Options, or Setup.
3
Navigate to:
Fax tab > Enable fax
4
Enter the recipient fax number or numbers in the "Fax number(s)"
field.
Note: Fax numbers can be entered manually or by using the
Phone Book feature
5
If necessary, enter a prefix in the "Dialing prefix" field.

If you want to include a cover page with the fax, then select Include

Click OK.
Notes:
• The Fax option is available for use only with the PostScript driver
or the Universal Fax Driver. For information on installing these
drivers, see the Software and Documentation CD.
• The Fax option must be configured and enabled in the PostScript
driver under the Configuration tab before it can be used.
•
If the Always display settings prior to faxing check box is
selected, then you are prompted to verify the recipient
information before the fax is sent. If this check box is cleared,
then the queued document is sent automatically as a fax when
you click OK on the Fax tab.
Creating shortcuts
Creating a fax destination shortcut using the
Embedded Web Server
Instead of entering the entire phone number of a fax recipient on the
printer control panel each time you want to send a fax, you can create
a permanent fax destination and assign a shortcut number. A shortcut
can be created to a single fax number or a group of fax numbers.
1
Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web
browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the printer, you can:
• View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP
section under the Networks/Ports menu.
•
Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and
locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
2
Click Settings > Manage Shortcuts > Fax Shortcut Setup.
Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and
password, get one from your system support person.
3
Type a unique name for the shortcut, and then enter the fax
number.
To create a multiple‑number shortcut, enter the fax numbers for
the group.
Note: Separate each fax number in the group with a semicolon
(;).
4
Assign a shortcut number.
If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted
to select another number.
5
Click Add.
