pagesender Fax Center

pagesender Fax Center allows you to monitor faxes you've sent via fax modem and to set pagesender preferences.

Fax Center

The Fax Center window presents a list of faxes and their status. If there is a number next to the status field, it indicates the attempt number in progress (for example, Sending (2) indicates that the second attempt to send that fax is in progress).

Select a fax and press Delete in the toolbar to remove it from the list.

Select a fax in progress and press Delete in the toolbar to abort sending that fax.

Select a fax and press Resend in the toolbar to resend that fax.

Select a fax and press View in the toolbar to view that fax with the default application for its type.

Select a fax and press Get Info in the toolbar to see information about that fax. Get Info for outgoing faxes may be used to:

• Set the number of tries and interval between tries for a specific outgoing fax
• Set the time after which the fax is scheduled to be sent
• Edit mistakes in outgoing fax numbers (then use the Resend button)
• See the Dial String exactly as it will be sent to your modem

Manual Answer

If you receive a phone call on a line shared with your computer and determine that call is an incoming fax, press the Manual Answer button to begin receiving the incoming fax immediately. Hang up the phone when you see Answering call in the status bar.

Manual Send

If you would like to dial the phone yourself and then initiate the fax, press the Manual Send button. You will be presented with a sheet which asks you to dial the number then press Send Now when you hear the fax tone. The sheet will disappear when it's okay for you to hang up.

Log

The Log window shows detailed feedback from efax, the Unix utility used to send faxes. If your fax is not being sent, you should take a look to see if there are any error messages in the log.

History

The History window shows historical information on fax activity. You may limit the history by date, and you may print the history for your records. Because the history is intended for record-keeping purposes, it may not be edited.

Preferences

Page

The Fax Number and Station Name appear at the top of any faxes you send. Generally, the fax number is of the format: +1 408 884 2320 where 1 is the country code and 408 is the area/city code. Generally the station name is all caps; for example: SMILE SOFTWARE.

Modem

Select the Modem Type you are using and specify your preferred Speaker Behavior and Speaker Volume.

Expert users may wish to set the Initialization String being careful to precede separate entries with "-i". If your modem is made by one of the manufacturers in the list, you may get better performance by choosing it from the Flow Control popup.
