LaserWriter Pro 810: Faxing in High Resolution

Issue
-------
Graphics are created in Adobe Illustrator. They are imported into PowerPoint as an EPS file. The file is successfully printed on a PostScript printer. The same file cannot be faxed with acceptable quality. The text and graphics from PowerPoint are faxed at maximum resolution, but it appears the EPS imported file is printed in low resolution "preview mode."

Questions
----------
1. Will the LW Pro 810 with fax capability completely rasterize the file at maximum resolution, including the EPS import, and fax it to a standard fax machine?

2. Is there a fax phone book file capability?

3. Can Windows users get access to all the printers features and its fax capabilities? Also, can they use some type of Ethernet to talk to the printer?

1. Although you do not state what type of fax you're using I'm assuming that it is something like the Express Modem Fax software. This software uses QuickDraw for imaging the fax, therefore it is only using the preview of the EPS file. If you save the EPS file without a preview then the fax would have no graphic at all.

The LW Pro 810 fax option will use the EPS data and send the fax in high resolution.

2. Yes, there is a phone book utility that comes with the LaserWriter 8.1.1f driver.

3. Windows users can use the all of the printer's features that make sense, for example it's unlikely that a Windows user would use LAT. Ethernet can be used but the Windows machine would have to have either TCP/IP or AppleTalk drivers installed.
