                    Faxing from Multimate 4.0

To use The Complete Communicator with Multimate 4.0, you need to
add some new printer definitions to Multimate.  To do this, do
the following:

At the DOS prompt type SETUPMM

Select "Setup Printer Definitions".

Select "Edit Printer Setups".

Press the INS (Insert key) to add a printer definition.

Select Epson from the list of printer types.

Select FX-80 from the list of printer models.

Note: If you don't have the Epson printer files on your hard
disk, you will be prompted to insert Printer Disk 1.

Select none for sheetfeeder, and LPT1 for port.

Assign a name to this definition (ex.  FAXFILE)

Exit SETUPMM

This will allow you to use our HotKey function which captures the
printer codes directed at the LPT1 port.  If you wish to also
have the ability to print directly to disk (such as when you want
to generate a permanent fax that you can send, like this
instruction sheet) follow the above steps, with the following
changes:

Select none for sheetfeeder, and Disk File for port.

Assign a name to this definition (ex:  FAX DISK PRINT)

This completes the preliminary setup.  You are now ready to use
these functions.

                          Using HotKey
     
Retrieve the document you wish to convert to a fax.

Type ALT F to access the pull-down  menus.

Go to the PRINT menu and select "Change Printer Setup".

Select the Printer Definition for printing to LPT1 (ex.
FAXFILE).

Select EPSONFX from the PAT menu.

Press ALT F and fill in the needed information.

Type ALT F again to access the pull-down menu and select "Print
Document" from the Print menu.  Be sure to put at least a one
line top margin to avoid having the top row of text overwritten
by the fax header.

Press F10 to print the document.

Exit from MultiMate to DOS to allow us to run our conversion and
sending program.  Your fax will be converted, and sent at the
time specified.

Once you get to the prompt, HKEYSEND should show up at the prompt
automatically. If you ever get an error message "Error in this
file!", it means it did not have a file to capture at LPT1. Make
sure you are doing the print command.

NOTE:  HotKey is known to not come up automatically with DOS 4.0
or higher. If you have our CCOM installed in a machine with 4.0
or higher, you will have to execute the HKEYSEND manually. To do
this, at the DOS prompt type HKEYSEND and press return.

                        Printing to Disk

Retrieve the document you wish to convert to a fax.

Type ALT F to access the pull-down menus.

Go to the PRINT menu and select "Change Printer Setup".

Select the Printer Definition for printing to disk. (ex.  FAX
DISK PRINT)

Select Epson FX from the PAT menu.

Press ALT F and fill in the needed information.

Type ALT F again to access the pull-down menus and select "Print
Document" from the Print menu.  Be sure to put at least a one
blank line at the top to avoid having the top row of text
overwritten by the fax header.

Press F10 to print the document.

Exit from MultiMate to DOS to allow us to run our convert and
send program.  Your fax will be converted, and sent at the time
specified.
