Manual Dialing To Send A Fax |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The entry field for telephone numbers in WordPerfect 6.1's Fax Services is limited to about 30 characters. This limits users who must dial long access codes or credit card numbers. In these cases a possible work-around is to dial the number manually. However, this can only be done if the user has a telephone set connected to the modem. 1. Turn off the fax driver's CALL PROGRESS, consult your fax program's documentation for how this is done. If FaxDirect is being used, enter the CAS Setup Utility by typing SETUP from the DOS prompt in the directory where FAXDIR.EXE was installed. (This is usually the WordPerfect program directory - i.e. C:\WP60.) Select DIALING OPTIONS SETUP, and change CALL PROGRESS to NO CALL PROGRESS. Save and exit the CAS Setup Uility and reboot the computer, or remove the fax drivers from memory and then reload them. 2. Enter WordPerfect and retrieve the document to be faxed. 3. A fax image of this document must first be created. This is done by going through the normal procedure for sending a fax. Before sending the fax, make note of the FILENAME FOR FAX IMAGE option on the SEND FAX menu (Shift+F7,9,S,7). The filename will be the path to the fax file directory plus a randomly generated filename consisting of 8 numbers with a .FAX extension (e.i. C:\WPDOCS\23897347.FAX) The user can rename this file if a more descriptive filename is desired. Select SEND FAX to begin conversion of the document. When Wordperfect finishes rasterizing and scheduling there will be a few seconds before the modem will activate. Select the FAX ACTIVITY option from the main FAX SERVICES screen (Shift+F7,9,4). Select 1 to cancel the fax's sending attempt. This will leave a .FAX file that will be used later. 4. Go to the FAX SERVICES screen and create a manual dial entry in the phonebook (Shift+F7,9,6,1) The name of the entry can be anything, however, leave the number to dial blank. 5. Return to the FAX SERVICES screen and after selecting the newly create manual dial phonebook entry, select SEND FAX. This will take the user back to the SEND FAX menu. Select the FAX IMAGE ON DISK option (Shift+F7,9,S,6). Enter the path and filename of the previously created fax image file (i.e. C:\WPDOCS\23897347.FAX). 6. Lift the handset on the telephone connected to the modem and dial the required telephone number. Upon completion of dialing, select SEND FILE. After the modem goes off hook, which usually requires a few seconds, hang up the telephone handset. |
