Tips

In the Image View window, choose PaperPort sendto Faxing an item from PaperPort Send To from the PaperPort button drop-down list and then click the fax program to send an item to the fax program while you work in that view.

PaperPort recognizes most fax programs and displays the fax program icon on the Send To bar. If there is no fax driver on your computer, you will need to reinstall the software for your fax program.

When importing an image that was saved by a fax program or when printing from a fax program using the PaperPort print driver, the document may be reduced in size. This can occur when a document is faxed in standard mode, which creates an image with a 100 x 200 dpi. To resolve this issue, import all incoming faxed documents in fine mode to create an image that is 200 x 200 dpi.
