Fax Windows

A few days ago my friend ask me about how to send and receive Fax without Fax machine, he want to send fax using windows operating system and telephone. Is it possible he said to me? Yes, of course it is possible.

If you have the same problem with my friend you can use the following steps:

Note: In example below I am using Windows XP
1. Install Modem
Make sure, you have installed modem driver on your computer before running fax components setup and connect the Modem to the Telephone

2. Installing Fax in Windows
As default Fax service not install automatically in windows. To install the component go to Start->Control Panel->Add Remove Program-> Add/Remove Windows Component.
Select Fax Service than then click Next. (For some case you need CD Driver Win XP)

3. Configuring Fax Console
After finished installing fax service. Go to Start->program->accessories -> communication. Select Fax Console then click Tools->Configure Fax. Click Next.

4. in Sender information page, you need to input name of Your Company and Fax Number. Another information is optional.

5. Select the suitable modem for fax and also enable others send and receive options.

6. In the TSID (Transmitting Subscriber Identification) and CSID (Called Subscriber Identification) page, input your company name and Fax Number. Click Next.
7. In the Routing option page, you can choose whether the fax file will save in Fax Console or in Local Folder/Network Folder.

Now, you already finished with all setting and Configuration but how to send the Fax?
Sending Fax in windows is the same as just like you print document in Windows. You can use, Microsoft office, Adobe reader or other application .

select the printer and choose fax
