Introduction
RightFax is a reliable tool for creating, sending, and managing outgoing faxes directly from a user’s desktop computer. This tool simply helps to streamline the process and eliminates the trouble of printing out a hardcopy, walking it to a fax machine, dialing a fax number, and waiting for a confirmation sheet. Users should be aware that this new way of sending a fax is actually sending a real printed document (not an electronic file) that means the content of the fax may end up in an unsecured destination. Therefore, it is important for users to consider both privacy issues and the size of the document. Basically, there are two different ways to create a fax for sending. A user can do so either by printing a document to the RightFax Fax Printer (instead of the desktop printer), or by using the RightFax FaxUtil Program. Incoming faxes will continue to come in through the fax machine for each unit.

TO CREATE A FAX WITHIN A DOCUMENT:
1 Open up the document you want to send as fax. It can be a document from any application, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. 2 Click File➯ Print and select the RightFax Fax Printer. 3 The Fax Information Main dialog box is displayed.
