Assigning Fax Devices

Use the Assign Printer/Fax screen to define a fax device fax delivery system for use with the system or edit the values assigned to a fax device. The system stores the following information about the assigned fax devices:

• A name assigned to the device.

• The manufacturer's make and model.

• Parameters that govern operations of fax devices.

Use the following procedures to:

• Assign a fax device.

• Edit the values assigned to a fax device.

To assign a fax device:

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 new to display a prompt for the fax ID.

3. At the prompt, enter a fax ID up to five characters long. The ID must include the word fax. If the ID has already been used, the information for that fax device displays.

4. In the Name field, enter a name for the fax ID.

The name can be up to nine characters long. It can be a number or contain numbers. We recommend using a name that has meaning.
