Fax the Sample Form
To fax the Sample form, you need the following:
• a fax modem connected to your computer
• fax software that is compatible with your fax modem
• access to a regular fax machine
To fax the form:
1 Make sure your fax modem is turned on and that your fax
software is set up to receive a call.
Refer to your fax documentation for information.
2 Place the Sample form in the fax machine.
3 Set faxing resolution to
Fine
or
Best
.
OmniForm may have trouble recognizing documents faxed at a
lower resolution. Check your fax machine’s manual if you need
more information about its settings.
4 Dial your fax modem’s number and fax the Sample form as you
normally would.
5 Once received, use your fax software to open the Sample form
and save it as a PICT or TIFF file.
Again, refer to your fax software manual if you do not know
how to do this.
6 See the next section, “Import an Image File” for instructions on
how to convert your fax file into an electronic form in
OmniForm.
Import an Image File
OmniForm can recognize PICT or TIFF image files. An image is an
electronic picture of text and/or graphics. This could be a form created
in another program or one received as a fax file. See the previous section,
“Fax the Sample Form” if you want to create a fax file to import.
You will import an image file in this exercise. You can import a fax file
if you have one, or import the Sample form that was placed in your
OmniForm:Sample Forms folder during installation.
