Print to Fax 

The Print to fax feature eliminates the need to print an original document and put it on the 
scanner glass to send a fax the conventional way. You can create or receive a soft copy 
document on your computer and send a black and white fax of it to someone else. 

 NOTE: 

You cannot receive soft copy faxes, only send them. All incoming faxes will print from 

your printer.

1

With your document open, click File 

→

Print.

In the printer list, select Dell Printer Fax Tools.

Click Print.

To Print to fax, follow the instructions in the program that launches.

 NOTE: 

All faxes sent using the Print to fax feature use the Fine resolution.
