Faxing Documents


You can fax documents from within the Print dialog. All you need is a computer with a fax modem connected to a telephone line.

To fax a document

1.

Set options as desired in the Print dialog's panes.

2.

In any pane of the Print dialog (Figure 36), choose Fax PDF from the PDF button's menu (Figure 65). The Print dialog changes to offer options for faxing the document (Figure 67).

3.

Enter the name of the person you are faxing the document to in the To box. As you type, your computer attempts to match what you're typing to entries in your Address Book file (Figure 68). If you prefer, you can click the Addresses button to display a searchable Addresses window (Figure 69); double-click a fax number to enter it in the window.

Figure 69. Another way to add a recipient is to use the searchable Addresses window. This is especially useful when a recipient has more than one fax number; double-click the one you want.


4.

If you need to dial a number to get a dial tone (like in an office or hotel) or a 1 for long distance, enter these numbers in the Dialing Prefix box.

5.

If you have multiple fax modems, choose one from the Modem pop-up menu.

6.

To include a fax cover page, turn on the Use Cover Page check box, type a subject in the Subject box, and type a message in the Message box.

7.

Click Fax. A Print status dialog (Figure 70) appears briefly as the document is spooled to the fax modem's queue. A moment later, the computer dials and sends the fax.

Tips

  • In step 3, you don't have to enter a name. Instead, just enter a fax phone number. You might find this quicker when sending a one-time fax to someone whose fax number is not in your Address Book.

  • In step 3, you can enter multiple recipients in the To box. Separate each one with a comma (,).

  • Before step 7, you can click the Preview button to see what your fax will look like in Preview (Figure 71). Clicking the Fax button in the Preview window sends the fax.

  • The header on each page of the faxes you send includes the date, time, and page number.
