I just started trying to learn how to send and recieve Faxes using the Fax prigram in Win XP Home. I have correctly configured to recieve faxes but have not figured how to send yet. I have a HP Scanner. In the help section of Fax Console it says that if my email program will accomodate it I can send a fax by using it and sending it to the recipients' fax number in place of the email address. Does OE6 have that capoability? I have included the parafraph from the help menu where it explains how to send using my email program. Is it possible?
"Send a fax from a e-mail application that supports faxing. You can create a fax, just as you create an e-mail message, by specifying a fax number for a recipient rather than an e-mail address" |

Bobby, I think you can send a fax from almost any email program however you need an add on or intergrated 3rd party program and it will cost you. Anywhere from $5 to $15. See this site

Bobby, how are you doing with the faxing experiment. Don't give up, you can do it. This site may help you, since you have the XP operating system I think you can lick this problem.
If you're running Windows XP, you can finally donate that old fax machine to a local charity and use the desk space for something more valuable—like a box of doughnuts. An easy-to-use fax service is built into Windows XP so you can send and receive faxes from your computer.
There are a number of advantages to moving to a Windows XP-based fax system, the main one being no wasted paper. No need to print documents before faxing them. You can read, save, delete, or attach incoming faxes to e-mail—all without using a single piece of paper. Of course, you can print them too.
Although you don't need a fax machine, you'll need a phone line, a modem, and a scanner to send and receive faxes from your computer. For faxing, the modem and scanner don't have to be anything special. Even a 33.6 bps modem will dispatch a multi-page letter in a minute or two. As to the scanner, faxes are sent in black and white and usually at a default resolution of no better than 150 X 150 dpi. Any working scanner can manage that.
Setting Up and Configuring Windows XP Fax
The fax service isn't automatically installed in Windows XP. To install the fax component:
1.Open Control Panel, and click Add or Remove Programs.
2.Click Add/Remove Windows Components. Select the Fax Services check box, and then click Next. The Windows Component Wizard takes care of the rest.
Note: If you don't have a modem already installed, take care of that now. Make sure the modem is connected to a phone line and the phone line is connected to a working jack. (You'd be surprised how often folks overlook these details.)
After the fax component is installed, the next step is configuring it. You configure the Fax service in the Fax Console, the center for faxing tasks. To configure the Fax Console:
1.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, point to Fax, and then click Fax Console.
2.On the Tools menu in Fax Console, click Configure Fax, which starts the Fax Configuration Wizard. Click Next to start configuring your fax information.
3.On the Sender Information page, include your name or your business name and your fax number. Everything else on the page is optional.
4.On the Select Device for Sending or Receiving Faxes page, your modem will be selected, unless you have more than one, in which case, select the right one. Specify send and receive options, and whether you'll manually answer incoming faxes or answer automatically when received.
5.On the Transmitting Subscriber Identification (TSID) and Called Subscriber Identification (CSID) pages, enter your business name and fax number. These fields really matter when you're running special fax routing software. Most software of this kind depends on TSIDs to determine where to direct an incoming fax. See How to Enable and Configure the Fax Service in Windows XP for more information.
6.On the Routing Options page, specify how incoming faxes will be handled. All faxes are stored automatically in the Fax Console, but you can also print a copy or store a copy in a local folder or on your network.
When you want to change or verify any of these settings, simply run the Fax Configuration Wizard again. To open the wizard, on the Tools menu of the Fax Console, click Configure Fax.
