This chapter provides information about how to send and manage fax documents. A fax printer driver is included, which allows you to send a fax directly from whichever application you are using. There is also a Fax Wizard to help you with fax transmissions. As with other features, you can select recipients quickly from those listed in your Outlook Contacts or enter the recipient fax number yourself. You can also set an account code to apply to the fax numbers that you choose.

This chapter also includes an overview of how faxes are received, and how to set up automatic notifications when you receive a fax.

This chapter covers the following topics:

•Overview on page 67

•Sending Faxes on page 68

•Receiving Faxes on page 91

Overview

Use the Faxes menu to send and manage fax documents and their cover pages from the UC client. There are several methods of sending faxes including:

•Sending a fax from other applications using the ADTRAN Fax print driver

•Sending a cover page only from the UC client using Quick Fax

•Sending a prepared fax from the UC client

•Automatically sending faxes requested by callers using the Fax-on-demand element in a service.

•Sending faxes to a specific fax number using the Send fax element

The Faxes menu is not used for receiving faxes. Incoming faxes are received and viewed through a user’s mailbox, for example, through Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes, or through an Integrated messaging client (a Mailboxes navigation bar on the user’s UC client) or IMAP4.

The UC server can always receive a fax, provided adequate fax channels are available, whenever a fax tone is detected.

Other methods of receiving faxes include:

•A dedicated fax number (fax identity). That is, a Personal Fax DID (direct-inward-dial) number.

•A shared voice and fax number (using the same identity)

You can also use the receive fax element in a service to customize receive fax behavior.
