Ive got the software to send it en-masse (grabbing the phone list from a txt file) but it wants it as a .pcx file :-( Ah well.... Thanks Chill. |

| 234174 | 2004-05-04 12:38:00 | just checked my scanner it allows me to save scanned images as a pcx cannon fb330 (dont laugh it does what I want ;) ) |

| 234175 | 2004-05-04 12:43:00 | I tried. I use Irfanview so I can convert between any type I like. However the scanner wasnt giving good results due to a background image, text, and pictures being all on the one page. I used another app to send from my PC as a Word Doc, and it printed on the test fax machine perfectly fine :-) Chill. |

| 234177 | 2004-05-04 13:51:00 | Depending on which printer you have, try enabling the preview in the printer options, and when you print you get a preview before the printer prints, you should be able to save each page as an image. This works for me and I have a HP printer. Rob ;\ |

| 234178 | 2004-05-04 14:47:00 | Hi Chill How about (1) select all (2) copy (3) paste special (4) chose "picture" option (5) copy the result (yes this is a second different copy) (6) paste into irfanview (7) save as PCX image I tried it and got a great result. By choosing (4) above Word says " Inserts the contents of the clipboard as a picture. This format is better than bitmap for printing to high quality printers. Of the format options available, picture occupies the least space on disk and displays the quickest in Word" Let me know what you think - even if only to say "rubbish". Seems fine to my untutored eye !! Misty :) :D B-) |
