XP fax service and Epson5400

[Nate Rosenthal]

Have been trying to do some faxing from the 5400. I do a copy to fax and
after the first page scans in, it automatically goes to the XP fax program
to send. If I am doing multi pages, I have to do the process over again and
again. Then when it faxes, it does an extra page that is blank. Any idea
why?

The Smart Panel program from the all in one does suggest using the XP Fax
Services, but I would think I would have more control

Am I missing something here?

It sounds like you are using 3'rd party Faxing program, not XP Fax services
alone. Can you check their manual or their support?

Nope. It is Microsoft Fax Console Version 5.1 Service Pack 1

No, you're not missing a thing. Unless your scanning software can scan
multiple pages into a SINGLE document of some sort, you'll get a fax
transmission for each page you scan. The only way to send multiple
documents in a single fax session is to attach them to an Outlook message
which requires Microsoft Outlook. If you have Office XP or later, you might
be able to use Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Office Document Scanning -
this will prepare multipage document which can be printed to fax.
