Subject: [Blind-Computing] Using Open Book to FAX
Hello Rick, and Friends
Yes, that is one reason I have stayed with Open Book 7.2
But I have never been able to figure out how to receive a
FAX with this
feature in Open Book.
Is it possible?
I must assume not, as no one has ever given me a positive
answer, but since
it is such a great convenience to be able to use Open Book
to FAX, I am
dreaming there is a way to also receive faxes.
Thanks Rick and friends.
With Best Regards,
Alan

Hi Al,
Actually Openbook uses a fax modem in your computer to
send the fax via
phone line.
The fax capability came about in version 6, and was dumped
in version 8 or
9,
I am currently using version 7.
Seems to be the trend of all companies to eliminate useful
features with
time.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Rick,
Thanks, makes good sense. Never tried faxing with open
book
but would imagine it sends it via email? I only fax out so
if that works that would be ok. Let me know and I'll
explore
some

Hi Al,
They do have printers that connect wirelessly,but that is
what I was wanting
to avoid.
With a wireless connection, if the connection drops for
some
reason, you
have no way to access the printer for troubleshooting.
As for the faxing and copying, I have been using both a
stand-alone printer
and stand-alone scanner in conjunction with OpenBook for
quite a few years, and have been able to accomplish what I
need to do.
Also, I have found that the all-in-one units that I tried
were too large to
fit my situation, and did not perform as well as my
current
setup.
I prefer the individual units, also from a service
standpoint.
For instance, With an all-in-one, if the printer fails,
and
it requires
servicing, then you are also left without the other
functions of the device.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Rick,
Can it connect to the router wirelessly too or just with
standard RJ45 network plug? I wish they would sell a
printer
with just fax capabilities too but seems once you choode
that option the scan & copy feature are there too. Once
this
happens, as Gerald pointed out, you need sighted
assistance
to handle a lot of the LCD screen choices, setup etc.

Hi Milos,
I recently purchased an HP stand-alone printer for about
$60
US.
http://www.hp.com/
It is the OfficeJet 6000 series, and can be connected
directly to the
computer via USB,
or connected directly to your network router to be shared
over your network.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Hi all,
I diceded to buy a printer. I have never had one, so I
don't know much
about them. I want to choose between Hp 1102 and Canon LBP
6000. My question
is, what are the differences in the terms of
accessibility?
Best regards, and thanks in advance!
