The Complete Communicator for DOS software includes support for
scanning and faxing with Page scanners. if you have a handheld
scanner, the procedure for faxing images through these scanners
is a bit different than if you had a supported Full Page scanner.
     
If you own a handheld scanner, you will scan your image from
within the software supplied with your scanner.  Once you are
finished scanning you will save the image in a format that CCOM's
convert routine will recognize:
     
.PCX           (PC Paintbrush plus),
.MSP      (Microsoft Paint, versions 2.0 and below),
.CUT      (DR Halo II & III)
.TIF      (black and whites, uncompressed TIF).

You can save it to the C:\CC directory too:

                       C:\CC\SCANFILE.PCX

 After scanning and saving the image, exit the scan software and
access CFAX.  Choose Special Features, Convert to FAX.  Under
filename, enter SCANFILE.PCX. For TYPE, choose P for Paintbrush.
Resolution can be either Standard or Fine.  Press F3 to convert
to fax file format. once finished converting, it is ready to
send.
     
You can send a PCX file (or other supported formats) from the
Send Fax screen, too.  Simply enter the filename of the scanned
image in the Filename field (SCANFILE.PCX) followed by the phone
number of the recipient.
     
Make sure you scan at 200 dpi.  Fax files are 200 dpi by
definition.
