Creating a Greener Office...
Send faxes from your computer!
  
Why should I add a fax to my computer?
  • Most people still print their documents/contracts/offers just so they can fax them, creating extra copies that usually end up in the shredder or trash.
  • The new printers are capable to take the “printing” out of the equation. Add a “FAX” to your computer to help cut paper usage in half!
Adding the fax to your computer is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Navigate to START>RUN and type in printerserver
2. In the popup window that appears select the FAX printer of your choice. Right-click and select connect.
3. When and/or if a pop up box appears that asks if you want to load the drivers for the printer, click YES or OK 
 
Download instructions for your office by logging into Broker/Agent Admin and navigating to COMPANY SUPPORT> AGENT SERVICES > TECHNICAL SUPPORT > [Mac or PC] PRINTER SETUP
