How do I connect my PXC 550 II to my Iphone? Connecting the PXC 550 II to an Iphone is just like connecting your PXC series of printers to your personal computer. There are many software packages that can do it, or you can do it manually. If you choose the manual method, be sure to read all of the information carefully. This article is not intended to be a complete discussion on how to connect your PXC series of printers to Iphones. If you need assistance with connecting your PXC series of printers to Iphones, contact your vendor or office station technician for help.
You may need to download and install the software to use your PXC series printer with your Iphone. Your PXC series printer will need to be connected to your computer via a USB cable or a modem connection for this function to work. If you are still having problems, check and make sure that the printer is powered on and working properly. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for the printer to recognize the Iphone signal and upload the necessary software.
If you do not have the software or if you did not install the software during the previous step, follow the instructions at "Connecting Your PXC 550 II to an Iphone." If you used your PXC series printer with your computer, use the same cable or modem connection to complete this step. After the software has been installed, your PXC series printer will be ready to accept and send the Iphone signal. Use your stylus or other pointing device to send images and documents to your Iphone. Your PXC series printer will also recognize incoming calls and faxes. You should see an icon on the lower right corner of your screen indicating "Sending Fax."
When prompted, enter the fax number to send your document. Once you have successfully sent a message, wait approximately two minutes before answering the call. This allows your software to send and receive faxes simultaneously. If there are any problems, re-install the software and run the test again. It may take several times before you get the correct response.
If you have internet access, your next step is to log into your PXC series printer's main page. You will see your online account if you are connected to the internet or not. If you are connected, go to "My Computer" and open the folder where you store your printer's documents. If you do not have internet access, download the free iRibbit fax software that can be found at "Downloads/RibbitFTP".
The software will allow you to upload your files and begin sending a fax. It is important that you have the correct software installed on your computer. If you have the wrong software, it can damage your PXC series printer. If you have Windows XP, you will need the Microsoft driver update to properly use the software on your computer. For users of the Microsoft Outlook operating system, you will also need to download the Microsoft driver update from Microsoft for this printer.
Once your fax has been received, you can upload it to your email or save it to your computer for later use. Once you are finished, you should be able to log into your PXC series printer's main page to check your incoming fax. If all is well, you can then proceed with the process to reconfigure your modem.
If your fax does not pass through, you should check the power, check the internet connection, and clean the filter. If all three tools fail, you should shut your computer down and start over. When cleaning the filter, you should ensure that the PXC series printer's speed is at its maximum. If your printer will not pass through the fax, you should have your internet service provider or your phone company try repairing the issue.
