4.0 Using STFax Pro

4.1 Creating and Sending a Fascimile

4.11 Creating a Fax from an External Program
There are a number of ways to create a fax however the most obvious use would be for a user to create a document within a program such as Wordworth and then "print" the document to STFax rather than their printer.

Firstly make sure that "printer driver" is checked on within the preferences menu.

Now start the program (such as Wordworth, Pagestream) you want to create the document and create the document in the normal manner. The number of pages does not matter as these pages will be sent by STFax as multiple pages.

Once you have proof-read and completed the document you will be ready to print. Goto print the document in the normal manner but make sure you select STFaxPRT from the list of printers and press print!

Note: If you cannot select an alternative printer from the program you are using to create your fax (a text editor is a good example), and you want to create a fax file without having STFax in memory, then you will have to edit the printer preferences within your "prefs" drawer on your Workbench partition. Make sure you select "STFaxPRT".

A requestor will appear, give your document/fax a name and the documented will be "printed" to STFax. In effect, the document is just being stored on your hard drive.

Once this process is completed, STFax will present a "send fax..." window which will offer you some options.

Press "cancel" for the moment and the fax will be stored within your hard drive and available within the "stored" group or read the section about "sending your fax" for further information,
