****************************************************

1. COMPATIBILITY WITH FAXMODEMS
-------------------------------

Intel SatisFAXtion Modem/200, Modem/350 and 
Modem/400
-------------------------------------------

If you have trouble sending file transfers (not 
faxes) to other FAXability users, you might need a 
new DOWNLOAD.200 or DOWNLOAD.400 file.

To obtain a new file, call Intel's automated fax 
delivery system (800-525-3019 in the U.S.; see the 
inside back cover of the User's Guide for 
international numbers).  Request one of the following 
documents:

Product                   File       Document Number
-------                   ----       ---------------
SatisFAXtion Modem/200    28.EXE     0028
SatisFAXtion Modem/350    19.EXE     0019
SatisFAXtion Modem/400    29.EXE     0029

The files are self-extracting files.  A READTHIS file 
explains how to extract the DOWNLOAD files.

You can also obtain the files by calling the Intel 
BBS.  The telephone number is printed on the inside 
back cover of the User's Guide.

NOTE: The DOWNLOAD.400 file applies only to the 
SatisFAXtion Modem/400, not to the SatisFAXtion 
Modem/400e.  If you have a SatisFAXtion Modem/400e, 
you don't need a new file.


Intel SatisFAXtion Modem/100, Modem/300 and 
Modem/400e
---------------------------------------------

If you have one of Intel's Class 1 SatisFAXtion 
faxmodems such as Modem/100, Modem/300, or 
Modem/400e, you might encounter a conflict between 
the DOS CASMODEM configuration file and the 
FAXability CASMODEM configuration file when you use 
the DOS Setup program (SETUP.EXE).  The message notes 
that the files are of different lengths.  Both 
SETUP.EXE and FAXability will work without problems 
and you can simply ignore the message.


Intel NET SatisFAXtion Fax Server
---------------------------------

You can use FAXability 2.0 to send and receive faxes 
through a NET SatisFAXtion fax server if all of these 
are true:

*  The fax server runs NET SatisFAXtion version 2.5
   or later.

*  You already have a fax user account and 
   FAXability Plus version 1.1.

*  You are not running Windows from a shared network 
   directory.

*  You have your own copy of the FAXability 2.0 
   software.

*  Your fax server does not collect client billing 
   information on the faxes you send.

To install FAXability 2.0:

Before running the FAXability 2.0 Install program, be 
sure to exit FAXability 1.1 and Faxbeep.

If your system is set up to use both the DOS and 
Windows software to send and receive faxes on your 
fax server, skip step 2 of this procedure. The DOS 
FAXNODE TSR should run each time you start your 
system.

Be sure the FAXNODE TSR is running on your system 
before you start Install. To do this and install 
FAXability:

1. Make sure your Windows directory contains a file 
   named NETSAT.INI. If not, you or your LAN 
   administrator should re-install your Windows fax 
   software.

2. Exit Windows, change to your personal fax 
   directory, type FAXSTART and press Enter. This 
   loads the DOS FAXNODE TSR.

3. Restart Windows and run the FAXability 2.0 
   installation program.  Install will recommend 
   copying files to the shared user directory; 
   change this path to your personal fax directory 
   and ignore any warnings Install issues.  If 
   asked, select Install for a SatisFAXtion 
   faxmodem.

4. Copy CAS.DLL from the FAXability directory in the 
   shared user directory to your Windows directory. 
   The CAS.DLL logs you into the fax server when you 
   use FAXability. (Or, if you are a fax 
   administrator or supervisor, make sure Faxbeep is 
   running iconized on your system before you run 
   FAXability. This logs you into the fax server 
   without copying CAS.DLL to your Windows 
   directory.)

5. Restart Windows. You can now use FAXability to 
   send and receive faxes through the fax server.


External Faxmodems
------------------

Don't turn your external faxmodem off and then on 
again while the CASMODEM program is running.  If you 
do, the faxmodem will be unable to receive faxes.  To 
correct the problem, restart your computer.


Other Faxmodems
---------------

Intel's automated fax delivery system contains an up-
to-date listing of faxmodem compatibility 
information.  To obtain a copy of this document, call 
800-525-3019 (see the inside back cover of the User's 
Guide for international numbers).  Request document 
4220.


****************************************************

2. COMPATIBILITY WITH SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
-------------------------------------------

Using a DOS Window in Windows
-----------------------------

This section applies only to Class 1, Class 2, and 
SENDFAX faxmodems (those that use CASMODEM.EXE as the 
CAS Manager).

If your computer is connected to a local area network 
and you access network functions (such as electronic 
mail or printing), you might experience intermittent 
lockups when you open a DOS window.  If so, edit your 
SYSTEM.INI file (located in your Windows directory).  
Add the following line in the [386Enh] section:

TimerCriticalSection=500

If the problem persists, Microsoft recommends 
increasing the value up to 10000 (in increments of 
1000).


Attaching Files From Windows Applications
----------------------------------------------

To attach application files to your fax, the 
application must be registered for printing in the 
Windows Registration Database.  This new technology 
is not available with all current Windows 
applications.  For instance, Microsoft Word, 
Microsoft Excel, FileMaker Pro, and Corel Draw 
register in the database.  Word Perfect, Quattro Pro, 
and QuarkXpress do not.

If the application is not registered, FAXability does 
not attach the file.

In addition, even if you have the default printer set 
properly in your Windows printer setup, some 
applications override the Windows default and always 
print documents to the printer set in their own Print 
Setup dialogs.  Attaching files from such programs to 
a fax you are sending could result in the fax going 
to a printer rather than to your faxmodem.  For 
example, in FileMaker, VISIO, Harvard Graphics, Lotus 
1-2-3, Ami Pro, and PowerPoint,you must set the 
printer to FAXability on FAXMODEM from each 
application's Print Setup dialog before you send the 
fax.

If your application does not register for printing, 
or if it retains control of the printer setting, it 
may be easier to simply open the application and 
print to FAXability on FAXMODEM to fax the file.  See 
also the Faxing from Multiple Applications section 
later in this file.


Using FAX.EXE
-------------

FAXability Plus/OCR 2.0's custom cover page, fax 
viewing and fax annotating features are not 
compatible with the viewing function of Intel's DOS-
based faxing software FAX.EXE.  You cannot use 
FAX.EXE to view received faxes that have been 
previously viewed with FAXability.  Nor can you use 
FAX.EXE to view cover pages of faxes that you send 
with from FAXability 2.0 from your own system.  In 
addition, FAXability's remote retrieval can only 
retrieve faxes received since the last time you 
closed FAX.EXE.


Other Applications
------------------

Intel's automated fax delivery system contains an up-
to-date listing of compatibility issues with 
FAXability and other applications.  To obtain a copy 
of this document, call 800-525-3019 (see the inside 
back cover of the User's Guide for international 
numbers).  Request document 4056.


****************************************************

3. CORRECTIONS

The following sections contain corrections to the 
manuals and on-line help.


Keeping Copies of the Faxes You Send
------------------------------------

When faxing, FAXability creates graphics files that 
it sends across the phone lines.  The User's Guide 
states that by default FAXability deletes these files 
once they've been sent.  This isn't true.  The 
default setting is to save these files so you can 
view the faxes you've sent or forward them to others.

However, these fax files can be quite large and can 
fill up your hard disk over time. To conserve disk 
space, do one of the following:

* Delete entries from your Outbox when you no 
  longer need them.  This will also delete the 
  temporary fax files.

* Turn off the automatic saving of these files. You
  can do this from the Send Fax dialog.  Choose the 
  Options button.  In the Options dialog, choose
  Delete When Successful.

  If you turn off automatic saving, you can't use
  FAXability to view fax files after you send them.  
  However, you can start the application you used to 
  create the document and view the document there, 
  just as you would if you had printed the document 
  to a printer.


Phone Numbers Displayed in the Group List
-----------------------------------------

When sending a fax or file transfer, you can pick a 
name from the Address Book and add it to the Send 
dialog's Group List.  The User's Guide, page 47, 
states that the number in the Group List will be the 
exact number to be dialed.  

However, there is one exception. If you've included 
an extension with the number when you added it to the 
Address Book (see the Address Book User's Guide for 
information about extensions), the extension may not 
be listed in the Group List, and it will not appear 
on the cover page.  The extension will be dialed; it 
just won't appear. 

This helps keep sensitive credit card information 
(which might be in the extension) from appearing in 
your outgoing faxes.


Actual Size/Full Size
---------------------

Pages 74, 75, and 130 of the User's Guide refer to 
Full Size view of cover pages; the View menu item is 
Actual Size. The terms are equivalent.


Accelerator Keys in Word for Windows
------------------------------------

Page 146 of the User's Guide says that the 
accelerator key will be N when you enter Sen&dFax for 
your menu item; this is incorrect.  The accelerator 
key is D when you enter Sen&dFax.


****************************************************

4. ADVANCED FEATURES
--------------------

The following sections describe features of 
FAXability and Address Book that aren't fully covered 
in the User's Guide.


Faxing from Multiple Applications
---------------------------------

FAXability allows you to print to the FAXability on 
FAXMODEM printer driver from several applications and 
send all of the documents as part of the same fax.  
This is especially convenient if you want to send 
just a few pages from each document. To print from 
multiple applications:

1. Open the first application and print to 
   FAXability's driver.  

2. When the Send Fax dialog appears, instead of 
   filling it out and choosing the Send button, 
   open another application and print to 
   FAXability's driver.  The second document is 
   added to the same send.

3. Continue printing as many documents as you 
   like.  When you finish, fill out the Send Fax 
   dialog and send the fax.

When you combine documents into a fax in this manner, 
the list of attached documents on the Send Fax dialog 
won't indicate how many documents are combined. To 
see the list, choose the Options button and check the 
Preview Outgoing Fax box.  Then, whenever you send 
the fax, FAXability will display a list of documents 
and give you the option to view each.


Using the Bookcase Window in Help
---------------------------------

Included with FAXability's help system is an 
application called Bookcase.  Bookcase shows an 
outline of help files for both Address Book and 
FAXability.

To display the Bookcase window, open the help window 
and click on the Bookcase button.

Expand and collapse items by double-clicking titles 
with a book icon.  On titles with a page icon, 
double-click to jump to the topic. You can search 
across all help files from the Bookcase Search.


Congressional Address Book File
-------------------------------

Included with FAXability is a file called 
CONGRESS.CDF.  This file lists all the members of the 
103rd United States Congress.  It contains voice 
numbers and some fax numbers.  CONGRESS.CDF is in 
character-delimited format, not Address Book format.  
But you can open it with the Address Book and create 
an Address Book file out of it.

To use this Congressional listing with the Address 
Book, follow these steps:

1. Start the Address Book.  From the File menu, 
   choose Open.

2. In the List Files of Type box, choose Character-
   Delimited.

3. Pick the file CONGRESS.CDF from ICOMM/ADDRBOOK 
   in your Windows directory. Leave the Merge box 
   unchecked, unless you'd like to merge this file 
   into your current Address Book file.  Choose OK.

4. Specify the name of the Address Book file that 
   will get created (or leave the name set to the 
   default).  Uncheck the Show Field Mapping box.
   Leave the field Separator set to a comma.  Leave 
   the Read Field Names box checked.  Choose OK.  

   Note: this is a large file and could take several 
   minutes to load.

CONGRESS.CDF is provided solely for your convenience.  
Intel makes no guarantee of its accuracy and makes no 
promise to keep it updated.  For the most up-to-date 
information about the members of the U.S. Congress, 
call Records and Registration in Washington, D.C. at 
202-225-1300.


Scanning and Faxing
-------------------

FAXability uses the TWAIN interface to support 
scanners.  More and more scanner vendors are offering 
Windows drivers to provide TWAIN support. If your 
scanner didn't come with a TWAIN driver, contact your 
scanner manufacturer to see if there's one available 
now.

Even if your scanner doesn't have a TWAIN driver, you 
can still fax scanned images by printing them to the 
FAXability on FAXMODEM printer driver.  See Chapter 
12 in the User's Guide for details.


Viewing in Pixel per Pixel Mode
-------------------------------

If you need precise control when designing cover 
pages or need to see EXACTLY how your fax will look 
before sending it, view the fax or cover page in 
actual size mode and then zoom in to 400%.  In this 
view, every pixel (dot) on the fax appears as a pixel 
on the screen.


Turning Off the Address Book's Short Form
-----------------------------------------

By default, whenever you choose the Address Book's 
Add button to add a person to your Address Book file, 
the Add Individual-Short Form dialog appears.  This 
abbreviated form lets you enter just the basic 
information about that person.  To add more 
information, you need to choose the Long Form button 
(or edit that individual later).

If you find that you're always entering more than the 
basic information, you can turn off the short form.  
In this case, the long form appears whenever you add 
an individual.

Follow these steps to turn off the short form.

1. Make a copy of ICOMMAB.INI, located in your 
   Windows directory. Then, with a text editor, edit 
   ICOMMAB.INI.

2. In the [Address Book] section, add the line:

       AlwaysUseLongForm=1

3. Save the file, then close the Address Book if 
   it's running and restart it.


****************************************************

5. OPTIONS AND PREFERENCES
--------------------------

There are several places in FAXability where you can 
set options and preferences that will remain in 
effect even after you restart your computer. 
Generally, preferences can be set when you choose:

* The Cover Page and Options buttons when Sending
  a fax

* The Options Menu in the FAXability Manager

* Preferences in the Edit Menu for Address Book


The most common options and preferences include:

* Turning off the Beep (and setting other
  ways to notify you of received faxes).

* Setting how to handle files created when
  you send a fax.

* Turning previewing on or off.

* Turning on the menu in the Send dialog's
  Note window.

* Displaying the markup tools in the Viewer
  window.

* Address Book font size, double-click
  behavior, and sorting. 


****************************************************

6. TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
------------------------------

Most troubleshooting information is available in 
FAXability's on-line help.  From the FAXability 
manager, open the Help menu and choose 
Troubleshooting. 

The following sections provide additional 
troubleshooting tips and list some situations to 
watch out for.


Modifying Your AUTOEXEC.BAT File
--------------------------------

If you have a Class 1, Class 2, or SENDFAX faxmodem, 
you must run a program called CASMODEM.EXE for 
FAXability to work correctly. CASMODEM.EXE is the CAS 
manager that FAXability needs to send and receive 
faxes.

If you have a SatisFAXtion Class 1 faxmodem, your 
faxmodem's setup program adds a CASMODEM command line 
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  If you have a different 
model or brand, FAXability's INSTALL program adds the 
command line.  If you edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file 
yourself, make sure the CASMODEM line appears:

*  After command lines for disk caches
*  After command lines for network drivers
*  Before command lines to run menu or shell 
   programs (such as Windows)
*  Before command lines to run application programs 
   or batch files

Do not load CASMODEM high. Instead, provide at least 
64K bytes of EMS memory for CASMODEM to load into. 
Refer to Advanced CASMODEM Options in Help for more 
information on EMS memory.

If you have an Intel SatisFAXtion faxmodem that 
doesn't support Class 1 faxing, run your faxmodem's 
installation program before installing FAXability.  
If there's an option, make sure to include CAS in the 
installation.  Also, let the installation program 
update your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if it needs to.


Sending Address Book Files
--------------------------

Although you can use FAXability to send Address Book 
files as file transfers to other FAXability users, 
don't send the Address Book files that are listed in 
the File menu (the last four files you opened).  If 
you try, an error might occur and cause the Address 
Book to stop functioning.  

If you need to send one of the active Address Book 
files, make a copy of the file and send the copy.


Viewing Text Objects in Viewer and Cover Page 
Designer
----------------------------------------------

With some video drivers, text objects can appear 
wider than they actually are when printed or faxed. 
This happens because at small sizes, the characters 
sometimes don't resize properly. This problem isn't 
unique to FAXability; it's evident in all programs 
that display and resize characters.

If you notice problems when annotating a fax or 
designing a cover page, zoom in to the largest view 
possible.  The closer the image is to actual size, 
the more accurate the character sizes will be.


If a Grid Appears on Color Images when Faxed
--------------------------------------------

If you include color images in your documents and 
print them to the FAXability on FAXMODEM printer 
driver, the resulting fax might sometimes have a fine 
grid printed on top of the image.

To prevent this, examine the application's Print 
Setup dialog.  Turn on any options that cause the 
application to use the printer's resolution or half-
toning, such as:

	Use Printer's Resolution
	Use Printer's Halftoning
	Use Printer's Dithering
	Use Printer's Scaling

This ensures that FAXability (and not the 
application) will convert the image to the proper 
format and size.


****************************************************

7. CONVERTING FAXES TO TEXT FILES (OCR)
---------------------------------------

Trying Out the OCR Process
--------------------------

Your FAXability directory contains a graphics file 
called OCRTEST.PCX that you can use to test the OCR 
conversion process.  To run the test, double-click 
the Viewer icon in the FAXability group.  Load the 
file OCRTEST.PCX.  Then:
 
1. Click the Viewer's OCR button.

2. In the OCR Document Options dialog, fill in the 
   subject and pick a file type that matches your 
   word processor.  Leave the filename as is and 
   click OK.

While the OCR is in progress, you can double-click 
the OCR status icon to see the status of the 
conversion. When it's done, double-click on the 
document you just converted in the OCR log.

NOTE: When you examine the converted document, you 
might notice a few errors (for example, "faxing" 
might be spelled "taxing"). This illustrates the 
limitation of the OCR technology. It doesn't mean 
you've done anything wrong.


Saving Faxes in PageMaker format
--------------------------------

Although FAXability Plus/OCR lets you select 
"PageMaker/MS Word" as a file format in which to save 
your faxes, the resulting file is actually saved in 
Microsoft Word for DOS format.  To use the resulting 
document in PageMaker, make sure the PageMaker's Word 
for DOS filter is installed.  Then create a new 
PageMaker document and choose Place from PageMaker's 
File menu.
