1.Installation
Each time you print with your Macintosh, the printer fax utility
gives you the capability to send your document as a high-quality
fax directly from your Macintosh to compatible fax machines or
fax printers anywhere in the world.
Macintosh fax utility software package
The Macintosh fax utility software package is comprised of a
program disk with the following items:
•Build Fax Driver
•Fax Printer Utility
•Teach Text document.
The fax utility software allows you to do the following:
•Send PostScript documents containing text, line art, and
graphic images directly from your Macintosh. Scanning is
unnecessary.
•Send high-quality (standard or fine print resolution)
•Send documents (at the resolution of the receiving fax
•Send a fax to all members of a distribution list with one
•Delay transmitting your fax document until a time you select
•Set up parameters for receiving and sending faxes, such as
Hardware and software requirements
In addition to the printer that is installed with the fax modem,
you need the following hardware and software:
•Macintosh with a hard disk drive. A minimum of 373 KB of
•Macintosh System 6 or higher operating system

free disk space is needed to store the fax utility.
•Xerox AppleTalk interface installed in your printer
•AppleTalk interface utility (Xerox Printer Support
•Software for Macintosh) installed on the Macintosh computer
XEROX MRP FAMILY FAX MODEM FOR MACINTOSH OPERATOR GUIDE1-1
INSTALLATION
Fax printer driver
•Fax Utility for Macintosh disk that contains the following files:
— Build Fax Driver
— Fax Printer Utility.
The following options, if installed on your printer, can increase
performance when you fax and print at the same time, or when
you send and receive complex faxes:
•20 MB of RAM installed on your printer
•A high-capacity hard drive (to allow the spooling of fax jobs).
When you build the fax printer driver from your LaserWriter
printer driver, a Print Dialog window is created. This window is
the tool used to send a file as a fax, or to print the file locally. A
fax button in the Print Dialog window brings up the main Fax
Destinations window, and the appropriate fax information is
added to control and manage the fax transmission.
Fax printer utility
Before you begin installation
The fax printer utility does the following:
•Provides configuration support for the internal fax modem
option
•Allows you to update your Fax Phonebook
•Allows you to configure your printer to receive faxes and set
the date and time of the printer calendar/clock.
•Allows you to print and clear a fax Activity Report.
The fax utility software is provided on the Fax Utility for
Macintosh disk, and must be installed on your hard disk.
CAUTION: Do not copy the fax utility software files directly to
your hard disk and then attempt to use the driver. You must use
the install program with the fax utility and follow the instructions
provided in this chapter.
Follow these steps before you begin the installation procedure:
1. In order to use the fax utility on a Macintosh system, you
need to set the AppleTalk Print Language to the PostScript
mode (AppleTalk) from the printer control panel.
1-2XEROX MRP FAMILY FAX MODEM FOR MACINTOSH OPERATOR GUIDE
Installation procedure
INSTALLATION
The fax utility does not function correctly in any other
setting, because this utility sends PostScript queries to the
printer and feed back is returned only in the AppleTalk
PostScript mode.
2. Make a backup copy of the program disk. Store the original
disk in a safe place and use the backup copy.
3. Make sure you have at least 373 KB available on your hard
disk to store the fax utility software.
4. On your hard disk, create a new folder for the fax utility
software. You may name it anything you wish.
5. Copy these files from the backup disk into the folder you just
created:
— Build Fax Driver
— Fax Printer Utility.
Follow these steps to install the fax utility software files:
1. Open the folder that you created for the fax utility and
double-click on the Build Fax Driver icon/file name.
A message displays in the Dialog box informing you that this
application builds a fax printer driver from the LaserWriter
driver currently installed. At this point you may continue, or
click on the [Cancel] button to abort the installation.
2. Click on the [Build] button to continue with the installation.
A message displays indicating that the fax printer driver is
being built.
If the installation is successful, a file named Fax Printer is
created and placed in your System folder (if you are running
System 6) or the Extensions folder within your System folder
(if you are running System 7).
If the installation is not successful, the partially built driver is
deleted. If installation is not successful because your virus
checker prevents the build program from modifying your
printer driver, refer to the documentation that came with
your virus checker for information on removing or disabling
the program. Then repeat the steps above.
NNote: If you have a virus checker such as
SAM_Intercept, the system may display a message
prompting you to Allow, Deny, or Learn the changes
that are about to occur to your system. Click on
[Allow] as many times as necessary to continue
installation.
When the installation is complete, a message displays that
the fax printer driver has been successfully built and may be
selected using the Chooser.
3. Click on the [OK] button.
4. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
The Chooser window displays.

Table 1-1.Fax Options window field descriptions
Outside Line PrefixEnter any access codes required to obtain an outside line (for example, some phone
systems require you to dial 9 to get an outside line). You can specify up to 9
characters for an outside line prefix; the fax utility automatically adds these codes
before dialing the fax telephone number.
The fax utility recognizes the following characters:
CodeFunction
0 through 9Dialing numbers
* and #Sounds the tones corresponding to these keys on tone
telephones
WWaits for a dial tone
, (comma)Two second pause
[ ]To protect internal account codes, credit card numbers, or
calling card access numbers, any part of the telephone number
placed within brackets is dialed but is not reported on the FAX
cover page or the FAX header.
For example, an outside line prefix of “9,” dials the number 9, then waits for two
seconds before dialing a fax number. You may override the prefix set in this
window when you send a fax.
If you need an outside line prefix for certain calls only (as when accessing a
particular long-distance carrier), leave this field blank and specify the required prefix

PostScript language files are ASCII text files, similar to what your
Macintosh sends to your PostScript printer. CCITT Group III files
are compressed 200 dots per inch (dpi) binary images, which is
the standard for facsimile transmission.
The benefits of transmitting PostScript files include the following:
•Higher-quality documents received by PostScript fax printers
because documents do not have to be turned into standard
Group III bitmapped file
•Lower phone costs due to shorter transmission time for most
documents.
The following special conditions must be considered when
transmitting PostScript files:
•Both sending and receiving devices must be PostScript fax
printers
•PostScript fax printers can be set with a password, so only
users provided with the password can transmit PostScript files
to the protected fax printer
•Failed PostScript file transmissions are automatically retried in
Group III format to ensure that the document is at least
transmitted in the lower-quality image format
•Transmitting a document using fonts that are not resident in
the receiving PostScript fax printer results in font substitution,
along with document reformatting. This may produce
undesirable results.
NNote: If sufficient memory is not available in the
printer to transmit a file as Resolution PostScript, the
printer defaults to sending the fax job at 200 dpi, the
resolution of a Group III fax. The Fax Activity Log
reports the resolution at which the job was sent.
Refer to the “Performance enhancements” appendix for
additional information on transmitting PostScript files.

Adding individuals to the phonebook
The procedures outlined in “Creating your Fax Phonebook” are
also used to add names and fax numbers to your phonebook.
Individuals and groups you add are displayed in the Fax
Phonebook Editor window (previously blank). For more
information, refer to the “Using the Fax Phonebook Editor
window” and “Creating your Fax Phonebook” sections of this
chapter.
Adding groups to the phonebook
The fax utility software defines a group as a collection of selected
individuals which can be added to your Fax Phonebook (similar
to a distribution list). You create a document (follow the
procedure outlined in the “Sending a fax” section in the
“Operation” chapter) and identify the group to which you want
to fax your document. Each individual that belongs to the group
you identified automatically receives your fax.
PHONEBOOK
Broadcasting a fax
Use the following procedure to identify individuals as members
of a group. Refer to the “Broadcasting a fax” section of the
“Operation” chapter to send your document to each member of
the group in a single job transaction.
1. Verify that each member of the group has been added to the
phonebook.
2. Select the individual names that comprise your desired group
and click on them.
3. Click on the [Save As Group...] button. This displays the fax
Group Editor window in the Fax Phonebook Editor window.
4. Enter a unique name for this group in the Group Name field.
5. Click on [Add] to add the group to the phonebook.
6. Refer to the “Broadcasting a fax” section of the “Operation”
chapter to broadcast a fax to the individuals within the
group.
If you choose a group name as your fax destination, the fax
utility automatically broadcasts the fax to every member of the
group. This means you follow the “Sending a fax” procedure
once, rather than as many times as you have individual
destinations. These multiple fax jobs are placed in the Print
Monitor queue and are sent sequentially to the local (sending)
fax printer and then to the receiving fax machine.
Background printing must be set to ON, and you must be
running System 7 or MultiFinder with System 6 to activate
background printing.

Adding memory
A.Performance enhancement
For the fax modem option to take advantage of RAM added to
your printer beyond the standard eight megabytes, a “Restore to
factory defaults” should be preformed at the printer after
additional RAM is installed. This is done by simultaneously
pressing the Reset/R and Pause/P keys at the printer control
panel.
A maximum of 20 MB of memory can be installed in your printer.
When you fax and print at the same time, or when you send and
receive complex faxes, additional memory provides increased
performance.
NNote: 4220/MRP and 4230/MRP standard base
configuration is 20 MB RAM.
Adding a hard disk
To ensure a maximum amount of space for PostScript-toPostScript file transmissions using the fax modem, a high-capacity
hard disk can be added to your printer.
Installing a hard disk in the printer also allows you to spool fax
jobs.
