Scanning documents
into the PC
You can transfer your documents to your
PC via the sheet feed of your TF 601. The
document is then available as an image
file in your PC, and can be processed as
required.
*) This display indicates whether your PC
is actually ready to receive.
The following conditions must be fulfilled:
• Ensure that the cable has been
connected correctly
• The PC must be switched on
• The fax program must be loaded and
active
• The fax program must be set to
automatic reception
Otherwise, the TF 601 will display the
following after a certain amount of time:
In this case, clear the error message by
pressing the STOP button, and remedy the
problem
Documents scanned in this way
are stored in the form of image
files in your PC. An OCR program
must process this file if it is to be
integrated within a word processing
program. This process is essential if the
file is to be used as a text file.
Sending fax messages
from the PC
If you have for instance created text or
graphics via a word processing program,
you do not need to print out the text or
graphics in order to send a fax document.
PC-fax Software transfers your document
via the cable from your PC to the fax
machine together with the fax number
which you have specified when you were
processing the document. Following
internal transmission, the job is then
handled as a normal job in your fax
machine.
