This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

The following is an excerpt from: STartFaxing Version 1.1 Release Notes, STF Technologies, Inc., November 1994.

ClarisWorks
If after using FaxMenu you immediately use Command-P to select "Print..." the chosen printer will still be FaxPrint.

Work around: Click in the menu bar once without the FaxMenu keys held down to reselect your original printer.

FileMaker Pro 2.0
The "Settings" button in FaxPrint will not be available unless the [FileMaker Pro] application memory size is increased. Also, using a "Print" button in a layout will not allow the FaxMenu hot keys to work.

Work around: Select Print from the File menu as normal.
