Menu options that are grayed out are not available, and there are many possible reasons why. Items in the list might not be selected, the browser you are using might mean that option is not available (Internet Explorer from a PC is the browser that will provide you the most functionality), you might not have permissions in the site, or the site administrator may have disallowed various options.

The transmission options:

Fax Priority. Specify the priority that is assigned to this fax within the queue of waiting faxes. Select from the options listed (low, normal, and high). If high priority does not appear as a choice, then it is not available to you (this is controlled by the administrator).

Delete After Send. By default, your faxes will not be automatically deleted from the Main fax list regardless of their status. However, you can specify to Always delete a fax or to delete it On Success only.

Verify ID of Receiving Fax Machine. You can specify the remote fax ID of the intended recipient's fax machine or server. If you enable this feature, the fax will not be sent unless the remote ID matches the ID specified. You can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcards if you are not sure of the exact ID. Asterisks represent zero or more characters or digits. Question marks represent exactly one digit or character each.

More Document Options

This page lets you set additional document-specific transmission options. The default values are assigned by your RightFax administrator. After making changes, click the Submit Options button. The new information is only valid for the document currently being created and will not be saved.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Fax Body. Documents sent to fax addresses can be sent at two different resolutions: Normal (100 x 200 dots per inch) and Fine (200 x 200 dots per inch). Normal mode works well for draft-quality resolutions and shorter transmission times, while fine resolution is recommended for high-quality printed documents. Check this option to use fine mode.

Send Cover Sheet. Check this option to include a cover sheet on your document. By default, the RightFax Web Client will automatically create and send a cover sheet from the information entered on the Create/Edit Document page.

Use Fine-Mode Resolution for Cover Sheet. Check this option to render your document cover sheet in fine mode (200 x 200 dots per inch).

Cover sheet to use. Select a cover sheet from the drop-down list.

Form Type to Use. Overlay forms are image files that combine with your document so the two images appear together. Company letterhead is a commonly used overlay form. You can add one overlay form per document. Select the form you want to use from the list.

From Options. If you are creating an outgoing document, you can change your sender contact information as it will appear on your cover sheet. This lets you change the contact information for this document only. It will not affect your default settings.

Note: When you type the first letter of a name in the To, CC, and BCC boxes, AutoComplete begins to suggest possible matches based on the names of whom you have sent an item to before.

If one takes a W&L laptop that is in the W&L AD domain off campus and then attaches to a site that is in the IE 'Local Intranet' security zone, the laptop attempts to do pass-through integrated windows login.  However, this requires that the computer has direct access to an AD domain controller, which is blocked in the firewall.  Unfortunately, IE does not gracefully fall back to a username and password prompt in this case.

To configure IE to always prompt for a username and password:

1.       Open Internet Explorer

2.       Select “Tools”

3.       Select “Internet Options”

4.       Select “Security”

5.       Select “Local  intranet”

6.       Select “Custom level…”

7.       Scroll all the way to the last option and select “Prompt for user name and password”

8.       Select “OK” to exit both dialog windows

To re-configure IE once you are back on campus, follow the same procedure, but in step 7, select “Automatic logon only in Intranet zone”
