For the next step you need to configure your account.

Sending a fax

Open a file (Word, txt, pdf, …), click on print and select the Print2Fax printer:

You will have a new window that asks you for the Fax number you want to send this document to. In this example I am sending a fax to 0211234567. If you don’t specify an “e-mail notify” you will receive a notification on the email you used to configure the Print2Fax (in this example, [email protected]).

If you have set the adress book during installation, you can choose a contact from your adress book. In order to add a new contact, right click inside the Address book cell and choose “Add New Item”, then choose the name and the fax number :

You can then choose the newly added contact in the list and Send the Fax:

Finally, when the fax is transmitted, and your login is correct, you will receive this message:

Using the custom address book

After adding the first contact in your address book, this file will automatically be added in the address book directory location you selected (C:\Users\John\Documents in the example):

You can manually edit it as long as you respect the format: name;<fax number> and keep the same file name (addrbook.csv):
