Send - Fax
Menu Selection: Document - Send - Fax
Purpose
This document allows the user to create and send a fax.
Prerequisites
The name and address record to whom you wish to send a fax to must exist. The name and address record must contain the fax number in the Fax field. Fax Server must be installed and running.
Context
Use this document to create and send a fax inside LILAC. You can attach a non LILAC document by using the Attach button. This will open a dialog box allowing you to browse for the file to attach. If a non LILAC document is attached, clicking the Fax button will cause Windows to render a BMP image of the document, and Fax Client will then be able to transmit the image to Fax Server which can then add it to the Fax queue. See Using Fax Client for more information on this.
