sending a fax – attachments, scheduling, & addressing

Attachments

PageSender supports faxing additional documents along with the one you are printing. To add additional documents to your fax, press the Attachments button in the PageSender Fax portion of the Print dialog.

Drag PDF files from the Finder to the attachments list. Re-arrange the order of documents in the fax by dragging attachments around within the list.

Scheduling Faxing

To access scheduling options, press the Options button in the PageSender Fax portion of the Print dialog.

You may schedule your fax for sending Now, At: a specific time and date, or choose Hold to defer the sending of your fax. A fax kept on hold will remain in the Out folder of PageSender Fax Center. To send a fax on hold you will need to go to PageSender Fax Center's Out folder, select the fax there and press the Resend button.

Faxing by Email Options

You may select the Email address used for fax-to-Email services such as eFax.com, jConnect, EasyLink, and MaxEmail in the options pane.

Add Addresses from Text Files

PageSender supports adding addresses from a text file. Drag & drop your text file into the address list in the Print dialog, and your addresses will be added. Each line should be either 3 or 4 columns and each entry on the line should be separated by commas or spaces. The columns are: name, company, number, and optionally country code. Styles can be mixed within a single file. Here are examples of valid lines:

Greg Scown,Smile Software,+1-408-884-2320
Philip Goward,Smile,408-884-2320,1
Greg Scown	Smile Software	+1-408-884-2320
Philip Goward	Smile	408-884-2320	1

Live Addressing

PageSender includes support for live address look up and completion. The following address book applications support live addressing:

  • Address Book (Mac OS X)
  • Microsoft Entourage
  • Now Contact (v4.2.5 and later)
  • Outlook Express (Classic)

To use live addressing, you must use a supported address book (see above) and the Use live addressing (when supported) checkbox must be checked in your Email and/or Fax preferences in PageSender Fax Center.

Click Add to add a new recipent, then type a partial name (first or last - e.g. “Greg”) in the Name column of the Email or Fax envelope and PageSender will present you with a list of possibilities. Double-click your choice and it will be placed in the recipient list. Continue typing to narrow your selection and pause when you'd like a new list of possibilities.

How Live Addressing Works

PageSender reads addresses from the Address Book application automatically.

For other applications, PageSender uses AppleScript to query your address book. In order to do this, your address book must be running. Therefore, if you have live addressing enabled, your address book application will be launched when you bring up PageSender in the Print dialog. Using AppleScript allows us to offer live addressing for several different address book applications and enables addition of other address book applications in the future.

Disabling Live Addressing

If you would rather not use live addressing or would prefer that PageSender not launch your address book:

  1. Launch PageSender Fax Center from your Applications folder
  2. Select Preferences in the PageSender Fax Center menu
  3. Press the Email and/or Fax button in the Preferences toolbar
  4. Uncheck the Use live addressing (when supported) checkbox
