WHAT ARE FAX PROPERTIES?
Fax properties are the attributes users can set to define sender and
recipient information, final fax appearance and time for

print properties you set are lost.
Furthermore, some applications allow you to specify attributes
that are mirrored by the driver. For example, most applications
allow you to define the page orientation from a Page Setup or
similar dialog box. Whenever this is the case, the application
settings defined for the document take precedence over the driver
settings. So, to continue with the above example, if the page setup
