Faxing With Your Computer; Sending A Fax From Your Computer (Pc Faxing) - Canon MultiPASS C80 Software User's Manual

Faxing with Your Computer

You can use the Desktop Manager, with your MultiPASS printer, to send
and receive faxes. You can also set up an Address Book, containing fax
and email information for people to whom you often send faxes, and
design your own fax cover page. To assist you in managing your faxes, a
Fax Log maintains a record of every fax you send or receive.
You can also customise your MultiPASS printer by changing the factory
default user settings. The settings include the date format that displays on
your faxed documents, or how many times the MultiPASS printer calls
another fax unit if the other party's line is initially busy. You can also
register one-touch/coded speed dial and group numbers using the
Desktop Manager and then download them to the MultiPASS printer. For
details on changing setup options, refer to Chapter 8, "MultiPASS Printer
Setup and Other Utilities in the Desktop Manager."

Sending a Fax from Your Computer (PC Faxing)

You can send a PC fax from any Windows application that supports
document printing using the MultiPASS fax driver.
The MultiPASS Desktop Manager sends the PC fax to the Send Fax
Manager, where its progress is tracked until it is actually transmitted. If
you specified multiple recipients, an individual fax job for each recipient is
sent to the Send Fax Manager. Once transmitted, the fax is placed in your
Sent Fax folder (unless you specified that it be deleted after transmission).
A record of the sent fax is also recorded in the Fax Log. If a fax fails (for
example, because of an incorrect fax number), it remains in the Send Fax
Manager until you attempt to resend it or delete it.
When you send a PC fax, you provide fax information about each
recipient, such as the recipient's name and fax number. If, as part of the
recipient's information, you provide the recipient's email address, the
document can be transmitted as an email message. The email feature is
possible if you have an email application installed on your system that is
Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI)-compliant (such as
Microsoft Exchange). Your email application must be set up as the system
default MAPI client. For details, see your email application documentation.
