Faxing a Document

If you have a modem that is capable of transmitting over the cellu-
lar network you can use any cellular line. You need to remain sta-
tionary while transmitting data over a cellular phone. Transmitting
data while you are moving will cause problems when the cellular
network hands off the call to the next cell.
Now that you're set up it's time to communicate. You're ready to
send a fax (see the following section) or use the modem to connect
to the exciting virtual world of the Internet or an on-line service
(see "The Internet and Other Fascinating Places" on page 193).
Faxing a Document
Sending a fax through your computer's fax/modem is almost as
simple as printing a document. All you need is a fax program such
as MS Fax, which is included with Windows 95.
Windows 95 treats your fax program as if it is another printer. To
send a fax:
1 Set up your fax/modem, following the steps in "Using a PC
Card Modem" on page 186.
2 Choose Print Setup from within the program you're using
to prepare your document.
3 Select your fax printer driver from the list of available
printers.
If you're using MS Fax, set the printer to MS Fax. For more
information about using MS Fax, refer to the MS Fax on-line
Help program.
4 Choose Print.
If you're using MS Fax, it prompts you for a telephone number
and gives you an opportunity to attach a standard cover sheet.
Other fax programs will operate in much the same way. If
you're using a different fax program, refer to the program's
documentation for more information.
5 Choose Send to send the fax.
