Compaq A900 Printer/Fax/Copier/Scanner
(260-2380)               Control Form Overview        Faxback Doc. # 56138

The Compaq Control Form is a paper document that you can use to give
instructions to your A900. You can mark it with a pencil or pen, feed it
into the scanner, and the A900 software will read your instructions and
execute them. Control Form compliments the A900 Control Panel and the A900
software on your computer.

A Control Form can be used more than once, and you can use it to perform
various operations simultaneously. For example, if you wanted to make a
paper copy of a document and store an image of that document on your
computer, you could do both of these operations at once on a single Control
Form. You could also reuse that form each time you want to do a similar
job.

NOTE: You may want to print several copies. Keeping a supply of printed
Control Forms available will save time when you are ready for the A900 to
perform a task.

Whenever you want to do several things with a document, you should consider
using a Control Form.

For example:

*    By checking a few boxes, you may automatically send a fax to several
     recipients with an optional hand-written note on the cover page.

*    Checking the scan box allows you to store a scanned image on your
     hard drive in a .TIF, .BMP, or .JPG format, enabling you to put it
     on your website.

*    Checking a combination of Fax, Copy, and Scan boxes on the Compaq
     Control Form allows you to perform several operations at once.

Getting Started with Control Form

Control Form can display up to eight FROM entries and sixteen TO entries in
the Fax section. These entries are tied to your WinFax Phonebook. There are
two easy steps to configure faxing with Control Form.

1.   First, enter names and telephone numbers into your WinFax Phonebook.
     Make sure the WinFax Phonebook has all the entries that you will
     want to have printed in the Fax FROM and Fax TO sections of your
     Control Form. See WinFax Phonebook Setup for instructions on how to
     make WinFax phonebook entries.

2.   Since WinFax can contain more than sixteen entries, indicate which
     of the entries in your WinFax Phonebook should appear on the Control
     Form. This is done in the Control Form section on the Fax tab of the
     A900 Settings Utility.

3.   Print a Control Form by pressing the Control Form button and then
     the Start button on the control panel.

4.   Use a check mark to identify the operations (fax, copy, or scan) you
     want to perform at the top of the page.

5.   Checkmark the settings for the operations.

NOTE:     The default settings are identified by a triangle. You do not need
     to recheck these boxes if these are the settings you want.

6.   When you have made your selections, put the document that you want
     to fax, copy, or scan behind the Control Form.
7.   Place the Control Form and documents face down in the document input
     tray with the top of the document facing down.

8.   Press the Control Form button on the control panel, and the
     operations will be performed.

NOTE:  When sending a fax using the Control Form, only the recipient's name
       appears on their individual cover page. Information written in the
       Note section of the Control Form appears on all recipients' cover
       pages.
