Faxing over a PC card modem is possible in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, but not all PC card modems support faxing. Apple does not provide technical support for determining if your PC card modem can fax, or for configuring it. However, this article provides general steps on setting up a PC card to fax, which may help.
- Connect the PC card modem to your computer if it isn't already.
- Open Printer Setup Utility (it's in /Applications/Utilities).
- Click the Add button to open the Printer Browser window.
- Option-click the More Printers button.
- In the sheet that appears, choose Advanced from the top pop-up menu.
- From the Device pop-up menu, choose Fax Printer (fax).
- Type card modem in the Device Name field.
- Type fax://dev/cu.pccard-modem0 in the Device URI field.
- From the Printer Model pop-up menu, choose Other.
- When the "Choose a File" dialog appears, press Shift-Command-G to reveal the "Go to the folder" dialog. In this dialog, type:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/PrintCore.framework/Resources/
- Click Go. You will now see the files and folders located inside the Resources folder. Scroll down until you see folders with language names.
- Select the appropriate folder for the language you are using. For example, Japanese users should select "Japanese.lproj."
- Select "Fax.ppd" and click Choose.
- Click Add.
Once you add a PC card modem fax device in Mac OS X 10.4, you should be able to send faxes using the PC card modem, if the card supports faxing.
