1 INTRODUCTION

LinkFax 8 is a software communication module
that transforms bubble ink jet facsimile machines
into multifunctional products running under
Windows 95.
In fact, once they have been connected to a
Personal Computer, they may be used above all
as a graphic printer. Documents such as letters,
drawings or spreadsheets prepared using stand-
ard Windows applications may therefore be
printed by the facsimile machine.
Alternatively, they may be used as a scanner for
acquiring images and documents on the PC. This
is made possible by the TWAIN module, which
supplies the standard protocol between the fac-
simile machine and most popular image process-
ing applications.
Again, with the aid of a fax application (for exam-
ple, the Windows 95 Microsoft Fax), all kinds of
documents (texts and images) can be sent di-
rectly from the PC. In addition, incoming fax
messages can be stored on the PC, and subse-
quently displayed and processed using standard
Windows applications.
finally they permit transmission and reception of
faxes as electronic mail attachments using the
Internet channel.
This guide describes how to install the LinkFax 8
module in Windows 95. The LinkFax 8 module is
supplied on Compact Disk and comes with the
following:
• this "Installation" guide
• one parallel cable
• one print head container.
Instructions on how to use the various functions of
