Lexmark Multifunction Laser Fax Manual

Fax guide
The fax function lets you scan items and fax them to one or more recipients. You can send a fax from the printer by typing the
fax number, using a shortcut number, or using the address book.

Sending a fax using the computer

The printer driver fax option allows you to "print to fax," where the printer will send a queued document as a fax rather than
print it. The fax option functions as a normal fax machine, but is controlled through the printer driver instead of the printer
control panel.

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 Configuration tab before it can be used.
•
If the Always display settings prior to faxing check box is selected, then you will be prompted to verify the recipient
information before the fax is sent. If this check box is not selected, then the queued document will be sent automatically as
a fax when you click OK on the Fax tab.
