Chapter 7: Sending and Receiving Faxes

Configuring Fax in Windows 2000

To configure Microsoft Fax:

1 Click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens.

2 Double-click the Fax icon. The Fax Properties dialog box opens.

3 Click the User Information tab.

4 Enter the information about yourself that you want to appear on the fax cover page.

5 Click the Advanced Options tab.

6 Click Open Fax Service Management Console. The Fax Service Management window opens.

7

8 Double-click the name of your modem. The Modem Properties dialog box opens.

9 Click Enable send.

10 Enter the transmitting fax identifier information. This identifier information is required by law. You can enter up to 20 characters in the text box. We suggest using eight characters for your identifier name, followed by 12 characters for your telephone number.

Important

Some fax machines cannot use special characters such as hyphens. We suggest using spaces instead of hyphens in telephone and fax numbers
