To send a fax from a Windows application, the Facsys Desktop must be running on the workstation. The Facsys Desktop application can be either open or running as a background process (indicated Facsys Desktop client icon in the System Tray). 

 

To fax an active Windows document, use the File | Print command and select the Facsys Fax Printer. The Facsys Fax Printer will output the document to a print file.

 

Facsys will then do one of the following, depending on the Delivery Options defined in the Advanced Options window (Tools | Options | Sending tab).
