How do I scan a document?
If you have a suitable scanning device you can scan in letterheads, coversheets, and graphics for inclusion in a fax.
Zetafax can also be used with a network attached scanning device, such as the Hewlett Packard Digital Sender.
To set up the default Zetafax Client TWAIN scanner
•Got to the Options tab in the Zetafax client and click Select Source.
To specify whether or not you want Zetafax to use the scanner's own software user interface when scanning click Scan Options.
To scan the document
•On the Message tab menu, click New Item and then Scan.
If you are using a client TWAIN scanner, the document will be scanned a page at a time. You will be asked whether you would like to stretch/shrink each image to fax size if it is substantially different in resolution from a fax page. The Zetafax Fax Wizard Recipients dialog box will then be displayed to allow you to address the message and send it as a fax.
Any document which has been scanned earlier using another application and saved as a graphics file may be sent as a fax directly by dragging it from Windows Explorer and dropping it on the Zetafax main window.
Configuring your Scanner to work directly with Zetafax
It is possible to adjust your computers response to a command given to your scanner such as pressing the scan button. By adjusting these button events it is possible to enable the scanner to open Zetafax by default upon scanning an item, alternatively you can set the scanner to prompt the user for the program they wish to process the scanned item with.
To adjust the settings of a scanner already installed on the computer please follow the steps below, if the scanner has yet to be installed on the machine please follow the manufacturer’s instructions before referring to the instructions set out below.
•Open the Start Menu and select the Control Panel.
•Select the Scanners and Cameras option.

•From the Actions section select one of the options below.
oStart this Program: If you wish Zetafax to open upon the event specified, e.g. pressing the scan button, select Zetafax from this list.(note: you will need to have opened the Zetafax Client at least once prior to this for the Zetafax option to be represented in this list.)

Using a Scanner with Zetafax
If you have set the scanner event to run Zetafax then upon the event, e.g. pressing the scan button, Zetafax will open, if Zetafax is already open and button is pressed the scanning options will be displayed. Once scanned the document will be passed to the Zetafax fax wizard where it can be processed as normal.
