Faxing Formatted Files

If you can print a document on a laser printer, you can probably fax it with Faximum. For example, you can fax the following documents:

• Spread sheets and charts created by Microsoft Excel; on a PC
• Presentation graphics created Microsoft PowerPoint; on a PC
• Microsoft Word; and Interleaf; documents

When faxing a formatted file, the document must be in one of the following formats:

• Postscript
• TIFF
• ASCII
• PCL

You don't fax the source file for the document. You fax a formatted file that you would send to a printer.

For example, in the Windows environment, the Postscript printer driver allows you to format application data and print it to a file rather than print it directly to a printer. You will be able to copy the file to your system and fax it.

See the following examples:

• Interleaf example
