Expand/Collapse item  Overview

This procedure describes how to fax a report from the software using the fax driver you have installed. You can also send faxes using the Paperless Office functionality, which allows you to define specific options for saving, viewing, e-mailing, and faxing reports as PDF documents. For more information about Paperless Office, see Paperless Office Overview.

To send a fax from the software, a fax driver must be loaded in the Windows workstation environment. The fax driver acts as a printer driver in the software.

Note You can also use Batch Fax Options or Fax Form Definition to create and use fax-enabled forms. To use Batch Fax Options or Fax Form Definition, Microsoft Fax Services or WinxFax 10 must be installed. If you installed WinFax, the printer driver must be named WinFax. For more information, see Fax Multiple Forms in Batches.
