Compaq A900 User Manual page 36

The Compaq Control Form is a paper document that
you can use to give instructions to your A900. You can
mark it with a pencil or pen, feed it into the scanner,
and the A900 software will read your instructions and
execute them. Control Form compliments the A900
Control Panel and the A900 software on your
computer.
A Control Form can be used more than once, and you
can use it to perform various operations
simultaneously. For example, if you wanted to make a
paper copy of a document and store an image of that
document on your computer, you could do both of
these operations at once on a single Control Form. You
could also reuse that form each time you want to do a
similar job.
Whenever you want to do several things with a
document, you should consider using a Control Form.
For example:
xý By checking a few boxes, you may
automatically send a fax to several recipients
with an optional hand-written note on the cover
page.
xý Checking the scan box allows you to store a
scanned image on your hard drive in a .GIF
format, enabling you to put it on your website.
xý Checking a combination of Fax, Copy, and
Scan boxes on the Compaq Control Form
allows you to perform several operations at
once.
NOTE: Refer to the sample Control Form and the
corresponding table on the following pages for more
information about specific functions of each section on
the Control Form.
Control Form can display up to eight FROM entries
and sixteen TO entries in the Fax section. These
entries are tied to your WinFax Phonebook. There are
two easy steps to configure faxing with Control Form.
!"
First, enter names and telephone numbers into
1.ý
your WinFax Phonebook. Make sure the
WinFax Phonebook has all the entries that you
will want to have printed in the Fax FROM and
Fax TO sections of your Control Form. See the
WinFax Phonebook section of the "Common
Procedures" chapter for instructions on how to
make WinFax phonebook entries.
Since WinFax can contain more than sixteen
2.ý
entries, indicate which of the entries in your
WinFax Phonebook should appear on the
Control Form. This is done in the Control Form
section on the tab of the A900 Settings
Utility.
Print a Control Form by pressing the
3.ý
button and then the
control panel.

4.ý
(fax, copy, or scan) you want to perform at the
top of the page.

5.ý
NOTE: The default settings are identified by a
triangle. You do not need to recheck these boxes if
these are the settings you want.
When you have made your selections, put the
6.ý
document that you want to fax, copy, or scan
behind the Control Form.
Place the Control Form and documents face
7.ý
down in the document input tray with the top of
the document facing down.
