Creating a FACSys Fax Printer  
Top 


The FACSys Desktop installation program installs and configures the FACSys Fax Printer automatically. However, you can optionally create a FACSys printer manually or change the driver used by the default printer.  
 
The exact procedures for adding or creating a printer depend on your workstation operating system. Some general guidelines are listed below.  
 

1.   Run the Add Printer Wizard from the My Computer group or the Printers applet in Control Panel.  
2.   When prompted, select the 'My Computer' option to create a local printer. Do not select the network printer options or make this printer a shared printer.  
3.   When prompted, configure the printer to print to the FXC port. This port should display in your list of Available Ports.  

NOTE:   If the "FXC" port is not an available option, the FACSys software installation was not successful and you must re-install the FACSys Desktop.  
 

4.   When prompted to select the printer manufacturer, click the Have Disk button. Browse to the FACSys Desktop\Printers sub-directory and select the .INF file in this directory.  
5.   When prompted, enter a printer name that identifies the new FACSys printer. For example, you might enter the name "FACSys Fax Printer."  
6.   When prompted, do not make this a shared printer.
