Fax Operations 5-1
Chapter 5
Fax Operations
This chapter describes some of the more common features of Fax software
(each of which applies to the Delrina 4-in-1 Fax software). Unless you plan
on using the Windows 95 Fax Utility, Fax software needs to be installed
before you can transmit or receive a fax. Please refer to the Delrina 4-in-1
User’s Guide for detailed instructions on configuring your Fax software. If
you are using other 3rd party software, then refer to the appropriate manual.
Transmitting Faxes
• For some software packages, starting the Fax software will automatically
load the Fax driver and prepare the modem for transmission.
• Some fax drivers are Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs
which operate in the background.
• Fax software usually supports dialing directories to facilitate dialing.
Very often they provide phone books for storing numbers of frequently
addressed Fax machines.
• Fax numbers are entered exactly the way you would if you were dialing
from a regular telephone.
Receiving Faxes
• For some software packages, starting the Fax software will automatically
load the Fax driver and prepare the modem to receive Faxes.
• For some software packages, starting the Fax software will automatically
load the Fax driver and prepare the modem for transmission.
• Fax packages may be loaded and run as a background application.
Sending and Receiving Logs
Fax software logs both incoming and outgoing Faxes. This log allows you to
examine all the details of a Fax, e.g., Recipient, Fax transmission and receive
status (i.e., whether a Fax was received/sent successfully).
