CPC091692 228.DOC The Complete Communicator Faxing First Choice This document is provided as "For your information" and as is. Neither The Complete PC nor any of it's employees assume any responsibility for consequences resulting from the use of the following information nor can the Complete PC technical support provide help with this document. The user of said information does so at his or her own risk. Using the HotKey Although the HotKey can be used with First Choice, there are two problems with doing so. The most glaring of these is that First Choice does not issue the correct page break commands so that a multi-page document will be interpreted as one page separated by spaces. Faxes of one page or less are unaffected. The second problem is that our HotKey program (HKEYSEND) that is supposed to run automatically after you exit to DOS is instead executed from within the First Choice program, where it appears in the document and does nothing. To prevent this, you should, at a DOS prompt, type the following: HKEYMODE /M You will now have to enter the HKEYSEND command after leaving First Choice or any other program in which you use the HotKey. (See Appendix D in the Complete Communicator manual for more information.) Printing to Disk When printing to disk using First Choice all character formatting codes (bold, underline, italic, etc.) are removed from the document. Paragraph formatting (center, left justify, right justify, etc.) is retained. To print to disk using First Choice, do the following: Touch F4 to print. When it shows you LPT1, you need to specify a file name instead: Name the file. For ease of use you should have First Choice place the print file in the Complete Communicator (C:\CC) directory and the file should also have a .PRN extension (example: C:\CC\FAXFILE.PRN). After printing to disk you can go directly to The Complete Communicator's Send Faxes screen, enter the filename (example: C:\CC\FAXFILE.PRN) and CCOM will automatically convert and send the file.
