Faxing a Document
The procedure for faxing a document created in application software is as follows.
Note
• Faxing methods may differ depending on the application you are using. For details, see the
instruction manuals provided with the application software.
• If an error occurs in the printer while sending a fax, send the document once more from the fax
driver. The fax job sent from the fax driver for which an error occurred will be erased regardless
of whether [Erase Failed TX] is turned on or off at the printer.
• You cannot access or edit the address book if you do not have access permission (default:
Power Users or higher) to the destination folder of the address book. If this is the case, log on
as user having access permission to the folder, or click [Specify a Folder] in the [Edit Address
Book] sheet, and change the destination folder of the address book to a folder, such as the [My
Documents] folder, that you have write permission for. For details about how to change the
destination folder of the address book, see "Changing the Address Book Export Destination
(p.4-15)."
• Up to 512 fax transmission recipients can be stored in the device. If the number of recipients
exceeds 512 after a fax job has been sent to the device, the last job to be input will be erased. Be
careful when registering more than 512 recipients in groups or when sending a fax continuously
to multiple groups.
• The number of destinations that you can send to at one time depends on the conditions under
which the cover sheet has been attached. For details, view the online help. (See "Viewing the
