Sending a Fax
Faxes can be sent using the NuPoint Fax Printer using any software with a Print function.If you
wish, you can set up a Personal Cover Page (see Fax Delivery Options) or create Custom
Cover Pages. If you have a Personal Cover Page, it will be the default cover page for faxes
you send.
Any file in TIFF format can be used as a Custom Cover Page. You can save multiple Custom
Cover Pages to customize your faxes for their recipients.
