Call Soft is capable of sending faxes. This is done by printing to "Call Soft Fax" in the same way you print to your printer.
Installing the send fax drivers:
| Additional drivers, included with Call Soft, are required to send faxes. To install the fax drivers click the "Install Drivers" button on the "Fax" tab in setup.
|
|
|
| If Call Soft fails to install the drivers make sure you have permissions to install printers. If you do, then let us know at callsoft@toscintl.com.
|
|
|
| Once the drivers have been installed, simply open any document (i.e. Notepad, Word or any Web page) and attempt to print it, but when asked what printer to use select "Call Soft Fax". Call Soft will take the document and put it into the send fax list next to the dialer tab on Call Soft's main window. Also see alternative ways to add fax files.

| When you're ready to send the faxes in this list, click the "Click here to fax these files" button.

| · | Yes send a cover page:
|
| Check this if you want to send a cover page using the information provided.
|
| · | Cover page: Specify what cover page to use. Call Soft supports the Microsoft Fax cover page format. At this time we do not have support to directly edit these files. However, you can use the cover page editor that is shipped with Windows 95/98, ME and 2000. You might have to install Microsoft fax to install the editor. The editor's .exe name is faxcover.exe. Call Soft is shipped with several cover pages. They are installed in "C:\Program Files\Call Soft\Fax Covers".
|
| · | Only send a cover page: Check this if you only want to send a cover page.
|
| · | Comments: These comments are usually sent on a fax cover page but are not a requirement.
|
| · | Banner text: The banner is the strip of small text at the top of each fax page that usually contains date, time, and page number information. We provide some tags that help create the banner. <name> = your name, <fax number> = your fax number <date-time> = date and time on your PC when the fax was compiled.
|
| · | When to send: When do want to start sending the fax?.
|
| · | Resolution: If not checked the resolution is 204 x 98. If checked, it is 204 x 196.

Your Information Tab

Alternative way to add files to be faxed:
| From Windows Explorer, you can drag and drop certain files onto Call Soft and they will be added to the "to send" fax list as long as they have the extension TIF, TIFF, BMP, PCX, DCX Monochrome (1 bit only i.e. black and white).
|
| These images will be scaled to the proper width for faxing if they are greater than 1728 pixels wide. If they are less than 1728 pixels wide, they will be padded with white space to 1728.
|
|
|
| ASCII Text files may be dropped onto Call Soft also. Call Soft imports such files using the default typeface at 10 pt. in height, bold Courier New type. Importing ASCII text is provided as a convenience, and is not intended to function as a full-featured page-layout system. Therefore, this function will perform very basic text formatting only. No special characters or formatting will be maintained.
