The Signature File

You can add your signature to faxes you send by scanning in your signature and supplying the full pathname of the scanned image to Faximum Client/Server

Use the following procedure:

1. Sign your name with a dark pen on a sheet of white paper and use a scanner to create a TIFF-F image of the signature.
2. In the Compose Outgoing Fax window, choose Include Signature from the Options pulldown menu.
3. Choose Signature File from the Options pulldown menu. Faximum Client/Server displays the Signature File dialog.
4. Supply the full pathname to the TIFF image in Signature File dialog and choose OK.

Use the following guidelines when scanning your signature:

• Scan the signature as a black and white drawing (or similar option). Save it as a Class F TIFF file if possible.
• If the signature appears too small when you include the TIFF image on your fax, rescan the signature and save it at a slightly larger size (in your scanner application). You may have to experiment until you get an acceptable image.

If you do not have access to a scanner, you can fax the sheet of paper containing your signature to the Faximum server and extract the signature from the fax. See Extracting a Signature or Logo from a Fax.
