  2. Sending and Receiving Faxes • Fax Services lets you send, receive, and manage faxes using your computer's fax modem • You can transmit documents directly from a word processor or e-mail client

  3. At Home with Windows XP • Fax is the same in Home Edition and Win XP Pro • But because Windows XP Home Edition always uses Simple File Sharing, the Fax Security tab in the Fax Properties dialog box is not normally visible. • To see it, hold down the Ctrl key when opening the properties dialog box

  4. Installing Fax • Log on with Administrative privileges • Add Or Remove Programs in Control Panel • Add/Remove Windows Components • Fax Services

  5. Fax Appears on the Start Menu • Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Fax • Installing Fax also adds the Fax service in Services • And creates a new printer named Fax

  6. Configuring Fax • Log on with Administrative privileges • Run Fax Console to start the Fax Configuration Wizard • By default, Fax is set up to allow you to send but not to receive

  7. Specifying Your Transmitting Station Identifier (TSID) • If you Enable Send, you can specify a TSID • TSID is a string of up to 20 characters that tells your fax recipients where your faxes are coming from • The receiving device usually prints your TSID at the top of each page • Usually you put your fax number in the TSID • If you Enable Receive, you can specify a CSID, like a TSID

  8. Routing Received Faxes to a Printer or Folder • By default, received faxes are stored as TIFF files • By default, the archive folder is %AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax\Inbox • Tools, Fax Printer Configuration in Fax Console, click the Archives tab

  9. Retry Characteristics and Discount Hours • Retry -- how often and how frequently to keep trying to send a fax • Default: 3 attempts at 10-minute intervals • If you indicate "discount hours" • When you send a fax, you'll have the opportunity to schedule it to begin during the discount period.

  10. Faxing a Document • To fax a document, simply print it--using Fax as the "printer." • You can do this from your word processor or other application

  11. Managing the Outbox Queue • Click Outbox in Fax Console's folder tree

  12. Archiving Sent Faxes • When Fax has successfully sent a job, it moves it from the Outbox to the Sent Items folder • You can archive Sent items with Windows Explorer

  13. Receiving Faxes • Received faxes appear in Fax Console's Inbox folder • and, if requested, a copy appears at your printer or in your routing folder

  14. Reading Received Faxes • Faxes arrive in the Inbox folder as TIFF files • Double-click fax to open it in Microsoft Office Document Imaging (part of Microsoft Office) • That shows an optical character recognition (OCR) version
