Entering Fax Setup Information

Fax setup information governs telephone line operation, defines the company branches that are authorized to send a fax, and identifies the fax system you use. The Eclipse software supports the VSI-FAX Gold system.

After defining fax phone number settings, test the fax phone numbers to ensure that the dialing setup information works correctly.

To enter fax setup information:

1. From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Assign Printer/Fax to display the Assign Printer/Fax screen.

2. In the Printer/Fax # field, enter the ID of the fax device to set up.

3. Use the Fax Setup hot key to display the Fax Setup screen.

4. In the Fax Type field, press F10 and select VSI-FAX Gold as the fax system to use.

5. Leave the Feedback field blank.

6. In the Home Area Code field, enter the area code for your company's phone system.

7. In the Dialing Logic field, press F10 and select the dialing logic that is compatible with your phone system.

8. In the Resolution field, press F10 and select the resolution to use.

9. Normal – Conserves toner and prolongs cartridge life.

• Fine – Provides maximum print resolution.

Note: We recommend selecting Fine, because it is more readable.

9. In the Exchanges are field, press F10 and select whether to define local or toll exchanges for your company's local area codes. You can select either option. We recommend selecting the option for which you will create the shorter list.

• Local – Select this option if most of the exchanges within your local area codes are toll exchanges. Then use the Local Exchanges hot key to define the local exchanges within your company's local area codes.

• Toll – Select this option if most of the exchanges within your local area codes are local exchanges. Then use the Toll Exchanges hot key to define the toll exchanges within your company's local area codes.

10. Use the Local Exchanges or Toll Exchanges hot key, depending on the value selected in the Exchanges are field, to define the local or toll exchanges for your company's local area codes.

11. If required, in the Dialing Prefix field, enter the prefix necessary to get an outside fax line for a fax transmission.

12. Use the Branches hot key to define branch access to this fax device.

13. Press Esc twice to save the fax setup and other assignment information for the fax device.
