        CONDENSED USER'S GUIDE


MODEM CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
----------------------------

Using external modems is often easier than using internal modems.
The new "Plug and Play" internal modems can be especially difficult
to install under OS/2 WARP 3.0 since their "switchless" configuration
uses drivers or software which may require DOS or Windows.
Installation of such devices may be easier in the OS/2 Warp 4.0 release.

Tested modems are listed below.  Unless the manufacturer has changed the
product since the time of our testing, you should use the following
information to determine correct configure values for your fax hardware.  Make
these settings on the Modem Type page in the fax program's Settings notebook.

(Many other modems will also work, but the vendors have not provided us with
evaluation units for testing.)

Note that manufacturers are constantly changing their modem hardware and
firmware (EPROMs).  If you suspect a problem, please contact your modem's
manufacturer for assistance in determining the exact version of your hardware
and EPROM.  The manufacturer may ask you to use a data communications program
and issue the ATI3 command to obtain modem version information.


VOICE: For using the new voice features, the following modems have been
tested or reported to work.  Other modems which use the same chip set should
work, too.  See suggested settings for modems in the complete list below.
Note: When using voice features, we recommend using our FMD.SYS driver (i.e.,
using an FMD port on the Ports page of Settings notebook).  This driver is
optimized to handle fax/voice issues.  Some modems do not follow any of the
voice data standards and must be run in "NATIVE" mode.  These modems when
used in "WAVE" mode, will have either poor sound quality or total noise.

SPECIAL NOTES:

CLASS 1 MODEM NOTE: For MOST Class 1 modems, using the 'Check TCF signal' on
the Modem Type page of the Settings notebook will provide enhanced speed
downgrading.  This may improve the quality of received faxes.  On a few
modems, engaging this switch will cause the modem not to initialize properly.
Use this switch with care.  Never use this switch with a US ROBOTICS SPORTSTER.

US ROBOTICS COURIER MicroChannel internal modem - has begun shipping with a
default setting loading during installation in the Reference Diskette/
Partition that prevents return codes from reaching the fax program.  THIS MUST
BE CHANGED.  The user/installer must enter the reference information area in
the MicroChannel machine and ensure that return code information is NOT
blocked, otherwise the fax program will NEVER be able to tell if your modem is
responding correctly, and will return an error message to you saying that it
is not responding correctly until you disable the return code blockage.

ALTERNATE ADAPTERS: These modems are supported in the full product using
special adapter files.  For Brooktrout Fax.BF is used as Fax.adp, for
GammaLink Fax.GF, and for Intel Satisfaxtion Fax.IS.  More information
for Brooktrout and GammaLink is provided in the full product README.DOC.


CONDENSED USER'S GUIDE
----------------------

This 32-bit fax software for OS/2 is fully enabled for the OS/2 Workplace
Shell, taking advantage of the latest OS/2 user interface standards.

It allows you to send and receive faxes of unlimited length and print faxes to
any OS/2 printer.  The FxPrint printer driver works with the fax program for
creating and sending faxes by "printing" from your OS/2, DOS and Windows
applications running on OS/2.  Features include drag-and-drop printing and
viewing, normal and fine fax resolution, portrait and landscape orientation,
multiple page lengths and printer emulation for print capture (LPT3) from your
DOS and Windows applications.

If you have the Lite version and you send or receive faxes on a regular basis,
you will want to upgrade to the full retail version.  The full retail version
has many additional features, including a configurable toolbar, fax markup and
editing, drawing, import, export, automatic printing, gray-scale viewing for
enhanced on-screen readability, multiple phone books, enhanced log selection
and maintenance, and printer driver commands.  You can also get optical
character recognition (OCR), PCL, LAN versions with automatic routing,
multichannel support for up to 96 fax lines and programming interfaces for
developing your own "fax enabled" applications.  To purchase the full retail
version or program options, see the information on the program's Help Product
Information screen.


READING THE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE - A Quick Reference Guide page is included
in the program's fax log.  Run the program, open the fax log, and double-click
on the Reference Guide to view the page.  The program can print any fax
document to your OS/2 printer, so you can print a copy of the Quick Reference
Guide.


CONFIGURING THE PROGRAM - In the fax program's Settings notebook, set the port
used by your fax modem on the Ports page, your modem baud rate and line type
on the Modem page, and your fax modem values on the Modem Type page.  See the
program's README.DOC file for recommended settings for your modem.  The Lite
product supports fax modems which follow the Class 1, Class 2 and SendFax
standards.  The full retail version includes support for many additional types
of fax hardware.


TO GET HELP - Check the message line as you move the mouse over a toolbar
button or menu item, or press F1 for extensive on-line help information on any
menu item that you have highlighted.  The Lite version includes the same help
system as the full retail product, so some of the described features are not
in the Lite version.


TRY THE TOOLBAR - The buttons in the toolbar provide "single-click" access to
the menu items.  When you put the mouse over a toolbar button, the message
line tells you about the button.  You can drop fax file objects on some of the
buttons to send, print or view the fax.  In the full retail version, the
toolbar is configurable using drag-and-drop (drag the buttons, or drag menu
commands to the toolbar).


USE POP-UP MENUS - As with other Workplace Shell operations, a right-click of
the mouse will provide a pop-up menu.  The contents of the pop-up menu will
vary based on what the mouse is on when you press the right mouse button.
Different pop-up menus will appear if you right-click on the main program
window, the status window, the fax log window, or the phone book window.


TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WORKPLACE SHELL FEATURES:

Drag-and-drop printing - If you use an OS/2 application that supports printing
of its document file objects by dropping them on printer objects, then you can
drop them on the FxPrint printer object to create and send a fax.  Most modern
OS/2 word processors now support this feature.

More drag-and-drop - Double-click on a fax file object to view the fax, or
drag and drop a fax file object to do many useful things.  For example, you
can drop it on any printer object to print it, on the fax program object or
into the fax workspace to view it, on the Send toolbar button to send it, on
the Print toolbar button to print it, on any of the View or Orientation
toolbar buttons to view it in that size or orientation, or on the Log toolbar
button to add a copy of the fax to the fax log for later viewing or sending.

Resizable windows - Drag the borders of the program, log and phone book
windows to suite your preferences, and the program will remember the sizes.

Fonts of your choice - Drag fonts from the OS/2 Font Palette and drop them in
many places, and the program will remember your font choices.  Drop them in
the log, in the phone book, on the message line, or on the status window.


PRINTING FAXES FROM OS/2 APPLICATIONS:

The FxPrint printer driver is a true OS/2 printer driver, and you use it just
like any other OS/2 printer driver.  The FxPrint printer driver turns your
print job into a fax document file, and an optional Send pop-up dialog allows
you to send the fax.

To create and send a fax from an OS/2 application, use the OS/2 application's
Printer Setup command to select the FxPrint printer object, then use the OS/2
application's Print command.

If you are using an OS/2 application that supports printing of its document
file objects by dropping them on a printer object, then you can drop them on
the FxPrint printer object to create and send a fax.  Most modern OS/2 word
processors now support this feature.

You can configure the FxPrint printer driver for various page lengths,
orientations, and other settings.  The on-line help explains the various
options in detail.

Note that you can create several printer objects which use the FxPrint printer
driver, and each can have different "Job Properties" in its settings notebook.


PRINTING FAXES FROM DOS APPLICATIONS:

The FxPrint printer driver provides emulation for the IBM Proprinter X24
printer, so your DOS programs can create and send fax documents by printing to
the FxPrint printer object's LPT device.

By default, the FxPrint printer object is usually attached to LPT3.  FxPrint
should be attached to an LPT device that is not used by any other printer
object.  You can check and set the LPT device on the Output page of the
FxPrint printer object's settings notebook.

To create and send faxes from DOS programs running on OS/2, have your DOS
program use LPT3 for printing (or whatever LPT device you have set on the
Output page of the FxPrint printer object).  If possible, tell your DOS
program that LPT3 is an IBM Proprinter X24 printer.  This will allow the DOS
program to use the Proprinter's fonts and graphics.  To produce a fax document
that is easier to read, tell your DOS program to use the Proprinter's "Elite
PS" font or a bold font.

If you want the results to be larger on the fax page, change the LPT Emulation
setting from "IBM Proprinter X24E" to "IBM PP X24E Enlarged" by using the Job
Properties button on the Printer driver page of the FxPrint printer object's
settings notebook.

If your DOS program can only produce high-quality printed output when using a
LaserJet printer, then you may want to upgrade to the full retail version with
the optional PCL5 emulation feature.  This allows your DOS and Windows
programs to print to the fax printer driver as if it was a LaserJet III
printer.


PRINTING FAXES FROM WINDOWS APPLICATIONS:

As described in the previous section, the FxPrint printer driver provides
emulation for the IBM Proprinter X24 printer.  Your Windows programs can print
to the Proprinter Windows printer driver, and that printer driver can pass the
data to the FxPrint printer object's LPT device to create a fax document.

You must do a onetime installation/configuration of the Windows printer
driver.  To do this: 1) Run a full-screen Windows session, such as by
double-clicking on the WIN-OS/2 Full Screen object in the Command Prompts
folder.  2) Open the Windows Control Panel (in the Main Group), then open
Printers.  3) Press the Add button, select IBM Proprinter X24, then press the
Install button.  You will be prompted to insert a printer driver diskette for
installing the Proprinter Windows printer driver.  If you are running OS/2 for
Windows, this will be one of your Windows installation diskettes.  If you are
running regular OS/2, this will be one of your OS/2 installation diskettes.
4) Press the Connect button and set the printer driver's device to the same
LPT device used by the FxPrint printer driver (like LPT3.OS2).  5) Installing
and using the ATM (Adobe) fonts is recommended (see your OS/2 documentation).

To create and send faxes from Windows programs running on OS/2, use the
application's Printer setup command to select the Proprinter printer driver,
then use the application's Print command.

If you want the results to be larger on the fax page, change the LPT Emulation
setting from "IBM Proprinter X24E" to "IBM PP X24E Enlarged" by using the Job
Properties button on the Printer driver page of the FxPrint printer object's
settings notebook.

If you upgrade to the full retail version with the optional PCL5 emulation
feature, then your Windows programs print to the fax printer driver as if it
was a LaserJet III printer.


IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

Most fax problems are due to improper modem settings and are easily corrected.
Be sure to see the notes and suggestions about your fax hardware at the
beginning of this file.

Port selection - Be sure that the fax program is using the correct port by
checking the Ports page in the program's settings.  If your fax hardware is
turned on and attached to the specified port, they you will hear it pick up
the phone line and dial when you tell the fax program to send a fax.  If it
doesn't, try testing your fax modem with a data communications program to make
sure it is properly attached and working.

Modem settings - Look at the Modem Type page in the program's settings and
check the settings for your fax hardware.  See the README.DOC file for the
recommended settings for your modem.  If your modem is not listed, check your
modem manual to determine if your modem uses the Class 1, Class 2 or SendFax
command set for faxing.  If your modem supports both Class 1 and Class 2 and
you are having problems in Class 2 mode, try changing it to Class 1.  As noted
in the modem information at the start of this file, some modems also need
additional check boxes or special commands on the Modem Type page.

Finding the fax directory - If the fax program can't seem to find the fax log,
or if you have changed the location of your fax data directory (which contains
FAX.LOG, FAX.IDX, *.FAX and *.PBK files), then you must tell the program where
it is.  To do this, start the fax program with the parameter of -L newdir
where newdir is the full pathname of the directory which contains the FAX.LOG
file.  You only need to do this once, and the fax program will then remember
it.

Capturing details to track down problems - The fax program includes a facility
for capturing detailed information on its activities, including all the
commands and responses with your fax hardware.  Technical support will need
this information to provide assistance.  To report a problem, first start the
fax program with a parameter of -V, recreate your problem, close the fax
program, and fax or upload a copy of the VOUT file (found in your fax data
directory) to technical support.


WANT MORE?  WITH THE FULL RETAIL VERSION, YOU GET:

Powerful fax editing, including the ability to sign your fax by dropping your
signature bitmap onto the fax, append other fax documents by dropping them
onto your fax, and type in any font by dragging the font from the font palette.

Extended selection in the fax log so you can print or delete multiple faxes
with a single command, a Clean command to remove "informational" log entries
like "busy" or "no answer", and other log maintenance and fax archiving
features.

Multiple selection in the phone book, and support for multiple phone books and
distribution groups.

A gray-scale feature for improved viewing of faxes with smaller fonts and
images.

Options for automatically starting in receive mode and automatically printing
faxes when received or when sent.

A utility program for changing receive mode from the command line or a command
file (for example, to turn off receive mode so your data program can use the
fax modem), or to tell the program to view or print a fax.

Options for OCR, PCL5 (LaserJet) emulation, LAN versions, multiline versions,
developer toolkits for doing fax broadcasting or client-server programming,
and more.

For information on upgrading to the full retail version or purchasing program
options, contact the publisher at the telephone numbers shown on the program's
Help Product Information screen.


NEW IN VERSION 3 OF THE LITE PRODUCT:

Class 2.0 fax modems are now supported.

Voice answering machine functions are added for use with supported voice/fax
modems (Rockwell chipset).  When enabled, you can use the same line to record
voice messages and receive faxes.  This is fully integrated with OS/2
Multimedia Audio, so you use your OS/2 Multimedia system to play voice
messages on your speakers and record your greeting message with your
microphone.

Enhanced cover sheets are supported.  In addition to the standard cover
sheets where you can select a bitmap image, you can also select from some
enhanced cover sheets which are provided for your use.  The retail version
can create and edit these enhanced cover sheets.

The FMD.SYS driver is no longer required.  The Lite version now uses your COM
devices.

The ability to accept "hot handoff" calls from data programs for data/fax
line sharing is now supported.  Data programs which use this feature can pass
the call to the fax program after they have answered the phone and determined
that it is a fax (rather than data) call.  Ask your data communications
software supplier if they support this feature.

Various keyboard improvements are included for using the fax program and its
settings notebook.


NEW IN VERSION 3 OF THE FULL RETAIL PRODUCT:

Enhanced cover sheets are now supported, including full editing so you can
position the fields anywhere on your cover sheet, place your signature after
the comment field, and put logos and images anywhere on the page.  You can
even use borders which will automatically stretch to accommodate long cover
sheet comments.  [The BonusPak Lite version includes some new enhanced cover
sheets, but does not support cover sheet creation or editing.]

Voice support for telephone voice/fax hardware is provided, including
integration with OS/2 Multimedia audio, REXX scripts that you can modify and
enhanced for doing voice mail, remote message and fax retrieval,
fax-on-demand, forwarding, paging and other voice/fax answering services.
Supported hardware includes many voice/fax modems and Brooktrout TR114
boards.  [The BonusPak Lite version supports a basic voice answering machine
for fax modems but does not support REXX scripts.] 

Internet E-Mail support is provided.  This allows you to send and receive
fax documents (and voice, text and data items) via e-mail with various
Internet e-mail products.  When our fax software and cooperating e-mail
products are used for sending and retrieving the e-mail, the document is
transparently delivered to the receiver and appears in their fax log as a
received document.  The new -Z start-up parameter and some of the voice
scripts can forward your fax and/or voice messages to your Internet e-mail
mailbox, so you can access your messages and faxes by retrieving your e-mail
messages and your faxes and messages will appear as "received" items in the
fax software.  The new "Relay" support also makes it easy to set up Internet
"forwarding nodes" and "Internet Relay Systems" for sending faxes through
the Internet and avoiding long-distance telephone charges.

The new universal log supports fax, voice, text and data items in the log.
Icons in the log identify the type of the item and show if a fax has been
printed.  New page numbering shows if a cover sheet is used, how many pages
were successfully sent before a failure, and so forth.  Text items can be
converted for faxing with the click of a button, including use of printer
driver commands to control fonts and formats.  In the LAN version, the voice,
text and data items can be routed to other OS/2 workstations just like fax
items.

You can now drag-and-drop "anything" in the log.  You can use drag-and-drop
to copy or move objects of all types (fax, voice, text and data) from the log
to the desktop or a folder.  All log record information stays with the file
as extended attributes, so the object can be fully restored to the log when
you drag it back.  You can also append multiple faxes together by dragging
them from the log, desktop or folder to the workspace, play a voice message
by dragging it to the workspace, or view text and data (hexdump) items by
dragging them to the workspace.

A full REXX API is included.  REXX programs can now be used to control
receive mode, send faxes, check job status, process items from the log, print
or delete fax files, modify phone book records, generate reports from the log
or phone books, and more.  The REXX interface lets you create advanced
applications which deal with voice, fax, text and e-mail.  The complete REXX
API is documented and included in the retail version.  You can distribute
your REXX applications without royalty to other licensed users of the retail
products.  Your REXX programs will work with all supported hardware, and will
even work with our multiline and LAN versions.

Multi-character searching in the log and phone books makes it fast and easy
to locate the item that you need.

Enhanced drawing tools for lines, boxes, circles, ellipses, arrows and check
marks are provided for the Edit Draw command.  Now it's even easier to fill
out forms online!

Printer driver commands can now be embedded in the documents from your
Windows or DOS programs for automatic sending and other features.

You can use drag-and-drop from the Color Palette to change the workspace
color or log background color, and Ctrl-Drag to set colors for different
status types in the log.

Priority sending is provided to allow an important fax to be sent before
other spooled fax jobs.

Hold mode is provided to temporarily suspend faxing or gracefully shut down a
busy system.

The intelligent retransmission option can be selected to resend just the
unsent pages.  The ability to specify a page range is also included in the
Resend command.

You can do automatic retry just for BUSY failures or for all failures.  Some
users prefer to check the fax number before retrying other types of failures.

The Utility Maintain log command now supports automatic daily operation and
the ability to archive the documents and log entries to an archive directory.

A new Cut command will separate pages that were "stuck together" when faxed
to you.

You can now modify a previously sent cover sheet and resend the document (by
using Ctrl-double-click on a log item) or modify a previously sent cover
sheet and apply it to your current document (by using Alt-double-click on a
log item).

New recipient editing let's you review, edit or delete items in your list of
recipients before sending.  Double-click on a recipient in the Send dialog to
get a recipient edit/delete dialog.

The retail version now allows you to use COM devices (from COM.SYS, SIO.SYS
or other third-party device drivers) or the FMD devices (from our FMD.SYS
device driver).  [The BonusPak Lite version now uses only COM ports, while
the retail version also provides the FMD device driver for port sharing and
other features.]

The Shared option for fax modems waits for the line to become available for
sending if your data communications program is using it, and (with FMD ports)
allows your data communications programs to use the fax modem without needing
to take PMfax out of receive mode.  

The ability to accept "hot handoff" calls from data programs for data/fax
line sharing is now supported.  Data programs which use this feature can pass
the call to the fax program after they have answered the phone and determined
that it is a fax (rather than data) call.  Ask your data communications
software supplier if they support this feature.

You can start current call receiving from the command line or with a program
icon using a new start-up parameter, thereby making it easier for you to
share a line for voice and fax calls.

Prompting for client data is supported so you can generate charge-back
reports or do other tracking on all your fax usage.

T.30/T.33 Subaddress Routing is supported with Class 1 fax modems and
Brooktrout cards.  This can be used to automatically route faxes to the
recipient when faxing to our LAN products or other LAN fax systems which
support this standard.  To use outbound Subaddress Routing, simply put a '
(single quote) character after the regular fax number followed by the route
digits.

The LPT49 utility is included to add LPT ports so you can install the fax
printer driver on LPT4 - LPT9 if you are already using LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3
for other printers.

The fax printer driver is now faster and takes advantage of new Warp
features.  It also supports word wrapping in >>FONT emulation mode.

Hardware support is enhanced and now includes Mwave, SatisFAXtion,
Brooktrout, GammaLink, Class 2.0 modems, modems with Caller ID and other fax
hardware.  See the User's Guide or on-line Help for instructions on using
Caller ID.

The new LAN and Multiline versions now support multiple fax servers, enhanced
automatic routing (by DID, DTMF, OCR, T.30 Subaddress, TSI/CSID, or line
number), multiuser voice messaging and remote fax/voice retrieval, routing
groups, "first page only" viewing option for manual routing, customizable
notification options, improved support for Notes e-mail, new interface for
the fax administrator, automatic busy call blocking for optimized throughput
between multiline systems, and more.

The OS/2 programs are now translated into more than 25 languages including
Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian,
Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, UK English, Catalan,
Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek, Brazilian Portuguese, Slovenian, Japanese, Korean,
Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

Contact the program publisher or your OS/2 software reseller to purchase an
upgrade to the full retail version.
