In addition to the scan-to-printer settings provided in
both PageManager and VistaScan 3.x, both programs offer basic settings for PC fax
software. Most fax software vendors provide fax-print drivers, so that a fax can be sent
from any application with the Print command - both UMAX programs treat scan-to-fax as a
printing process. Fax software is not included with the UMAX software - you must
already have a fax software package that can be "printed to".
VistaScan 3.x - Scan-to-Fax
The fax settings in VistaScan 3.x are extremely simple - you just need to change the
preferences to point the Fax destination to your fax-print driver. All other settings are
taken from the fax software defaults - typically an addressing window will be launched
after you have completed the scan, although the fax-print driver options will vary.
To configure VistaScan fax-to-print you simply set the Fax
destination preferences to the fax-print driver installed on your PC.
Presto! PageManager 4.0 - Scan-to-Fax
Like VistaScan, PageManager
relies on the presence of a fax-print driver, in which each software vendor has their own
settings, addressing controls etc.
When launched PageManager checks the list of installed printer drivers for any names that
include "fax" - if found the 'Fax' and 'Fax Setup' options are enabled in the
file menu.
PageManager offers the same Setup options as any other printer driver (below) - it is
important to use the "Printer Default" setting for Halftone Image. If your
original scans were of A4 pages we also recommend the "Fit to Page" option,
which will reduce the image slightly to fit the fax imaging area. |
