Q/FAX a service of Quarterdeck Office Systems
|
||
|
||
Welcome to Q/FAX!
|
||
|
||
Q/FAX, a service of Quarterdeck Office Systems, allows you to receive
|
||
technical notes, product information and upgrade information right on
|
||
your fax machine. Using Q/FAX is easy. Here's what you do:
|
||
|
||
1. Read through the list below and pick out faxes which are of interest
|
||
to you. Then pick up the phone at your fax machine and call (310)314-
|
||
3214. Q/FAX is available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. This number
|
||
is for outgoing Q/FAX service only. If you want to send us a fax, send
|
||
to (310)314-3217.
|
||
|
||
2. When you hear the computer answer, use your touchtone phone to enter
|
||
the code number of the fax you want (from the following list), followed
|
||
by the pound sign (#). You may order up to three faxes per session.
|
||
To correct an error, press the asterisk key (*) and enter the number
|
||
again.
|
||
|
||
3. When prompted by the computer, press the "START/COPY" or "RECEIVE"
|
||
button on your fax machine. This is often the green button on your
|
||
machine. You may then hang up and should immediately receive your fax.
