This section explains how to send fax documents created using Windows applications.

To send a fax, simply select [Print...] from the Windows application, then select [LAN-Fax M8] as the printer, and then specify a destination in the [LAN-Fax] dialog box.

Open the application document you want to send or create a new document, and then perform the following procedure.

For details, see LAN-Fax Driver's Help.

When using SmartDeviceMonitor for Client, you cannot send documents to this machine using more than one LAN-Fax at the same time.
When entering a destination directly or using the destination list of the LAN-Fax to specify a destination, you cannot specify an e-mail destination and folder destination.

On the [File] menu, click [Print...].
Select [LAN-Fax M8] in the list.
Click [Print].
The LAN-Fax dialog box appears.
The setting method may differ depending on the application you are using. In all cases, select [LAN-Fax M8] for the printer.
Specify the destination.
You can specify the destination using the following methods:
- "Specifying a destination using a destination list"
- "Specifying a destination using Address Book"
- "Entering a destination directly"
When user authentication is used with this machine, click [User Settings...].
Specify necessary options.
For details about specifying options, see "Specifying Options" and "Confirming Transmission Results by E-mail".
Click [Send].
When you click [Send & Print], the fax is sent to the destination and your machine prints a copy of the document you sent.

The machine can retain documents sent from a LAN-Fax Driver as files to be sent.
For the maximum values of the following items, see "Maximum Values".
- Number of destinations you can specify per file
- Number of documents sent from a LAN-Fax Driver that the machine can retain as files to be sent
