Send a PDF as Fax with Dell 964 Printer

I flew out to Vermont in October on Delta, and for some reason did not get frequent flyer miles for one leg of the trip. After filling out an online contact form with the info, I received the dreaded cut and paste response that I needed the send my flight info by fax or mail.

Not wanting to waste paper, I opted for a fax. And since I had an electronic E-ticket, I simply copy and pasted the info from the confirmation email into a word doc, put in a cover sheet I had saved in word and converted it to a pdf with Adobe Acrobat. Now I just needed to send the darn thing through my Dell All-In-One Photo 964 printer.

I opened up the software, but couldn’t find the right option. It had links to scan an image, and then fax, but nothing to open an existing document. After some searching in the help documents, I realized all I needed to do was open the document, select print, and then select Fax Dell Printer as pictured below.

It then popped up a window where I put in the number and info, and viola, the fax was sent. Make sure to just put in the fax number without any other characters. I copied the fax from an email, and it had parentheses around the area code. Needless to say, the fax didn’t make it through…
