However, our customers have found some minor faults with the package. One of those faults is that BusinessWorks does not support faxing. We believe that in today's world it is very important to be able to fax information directly from the computer since the "Paperless Office" is becoming such a wide-spread goal. With the current low cost of fax machines and fax/modems the number of fax users is constantly growing, and thus, we feel that BusinessWorks users should have the option of being able to communicate with their customers and vendors via fax. For this reason we created the software package we dubbed "FaxPrint for BusinessWorks". We have taken into consideration that today's predominant operating system for PC users is MS Windows version 3.1X running with MS DOS, and designed FaxPrint for this operating environment. Users will be able to choose FaxPrint as one of their installed printers by using the "Print device..." button in the BusinessWorks for Windows or by selecting the "FaxPrint" printer in BusinessWorks for DOS running in a DOS window under MS Windows. FaxPrint for BusinessWorks was designed to be used even by a person with minimal computer skills because we understand that in most cases it will be used by a book keeper rather than an experienced computer user. The installation process for FaxPrint is simple enough for a user with minimum computer knowledge. It is a standard Windows application setup which does not require any knowledge of computers. Then there is also a minimum setup required in BusinessWorks. On-line help is included to help users with every aspect of the program. In BusinessWorks for Windows the only thing the user has to do is choose which printer port (LPT3: is default) he wants to install FaxPrint on. In BusinessWorks for DOS running in a DOS window under MS Windows the user will have to use the "Printer Setup" option (option 5 in the System Manager Maintenance menu) to setup "Printer 2" as "FaxPrint an Epson FX series printer" on the printer port he/she chose in the installation program. Once FaxPrint is installed, the user will be able to print to FaxPrint. In turn, FaxPrint will open MS Windows Write with the document containing the BusinessWorks printout which the user can fax using any off-the-shelf fax software (i.e. BitFax, WinFax, etc.). The only thing the user has to do in MS Write is use the "Print setup..." option in the "File" menu to chose the "Fax" printer (unless it is already installed as a default printer under Windows) and then choose the "Print..." option in the "File" menu to fax the file. We chose not to fax in the background to allow the user to select the fax program and the addressee. The system requirements for FaxPrint for BusinessWorks are as follows: IBM compatible computer Processor : 80386 or higher Memory : minimum 4 MB RAM Hard Drive : 2 MB free Fax/Modem : an installed and connected Fax/Modem with send capabilities (fax/modem may be purchased as a bundle with FaxPrint for BusinessWorks) Microsoft Windows 3.1X running in Enhanced Mode MS-DOS 3.1 or higher Manzanita BusinessWorks for Windows or BusinessWorks for DOS Why use FaxPrint?
