To be honest, I once sent a TIFF file as a copy of a FAX (from ArcFax) to
save faxing it, and it worried one recipient as they didn't realise that
their PC would actually open the file. I think they are more 'savy' now
so maybe I'll try sending in an alternate format but as quality wasn't
really the issue I stuck with saving out the TIFF as JPEG. The frequency
of sending in this manner is actually quite low, maybe twice a month.
The bottom line in using Sprinter is that I now don't have to run ArcFax
(though the driver is always loaded), and I can of course save the
Sprinter Sprite (and multisheets at that) and load and save them out as
JPEGS or using 'that there scanning application' save them in other
formats.

Well actually its not set as the default printer.
Thanks
