March 26, You might be asked to install a printer. To do this, follow the instructions in the Add Hardware Wizard. On the Choose a modem name page , type a name for the fax printer, and then click Next.
The default name is Fax Modem. The new fax printer should appear in Fax Accounts , under Account Name. Then, to share the printer that has been created, right-click the Start charm, and then click Control Panel. In the list of printers, right-click Fax , click Printer properties , click the Sharing tab, select Share this printer , and then type a name for the printer that you want your network users to see.
If you want to enable users with computers running different versions of Windows to use this printer, click Additional Drivers to install the needed drivers. In Additional Drivers , select the check box for the versions of Windows that you want to support. You are prompted to provide a path to the driver.
Typically, when you add an account to the Fax service, Fax Setup in Windows Fax and Scan will ask the user to unblock RPC so that the firewall is unblocked for fax communication.
You can also configure the firewall directly at any other time in Windows Firewall by verifying that Windows Fax Service is in the exceptions list. If you are sharing the Fax service, make sure that File and Printer Sharing are also added to the exceptions list.
Windows recognizes any newly installed Plug and Play fax device during service startup. After the device is installed, restart the Fax service and refresh the display. The new device will automatically appear in Fax Service Manager. To remove a device, remove it as you would any device using Device Manager, restart the Fax service, and refresh the display.
By default, a fax device is enabled to send when it is installed. However, if needed, you can also enable a device to send later. The identification information typically appears in the banner in a fax message to help the recipient determine where the fax originated. You must specifically enable a fax device to receive—it is not enabled by default. A fax device can be configured to answer incoming calls automatically or manually.
The manual option is useful if your fax and telephone share the same incoming line. And you can specify the number of rings before answering. A higher number of rings before answering is useful if your fax and telephone share the same incoming line, to give you time to answer the telephone.
As part of this process, you can also specify an optional Called Subscriber ID CSID string, a text string used to identify a fax recipient to a fax sender. To configure fax devices, such as a fax printer, you must be a member of the Administrators group or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. In the left pane, double-click Devices and Providers , and then click Devices.
In the right pane, right-click the device you want to configure, and then click Send. This string is limited to 20 characters. Later, if you want to disable the fax device from sending faxes, right-click the device, and then click Send to clear the check mark.
In the right pane, right-click the device you want to configure, click Properties , and then click the General tab. To configure whether calls are answered automatically or manually, select the Receive faxes check box, and then do one of the following:. Click Automatic Answer to enable the fax device to answer calls automatically, and then type a number for the value in the Rings before answering field. The default number of rings is 5.
If your fax and telephone do not share a line, you should decrease this number. If your fax and telephone do share a line, and you decide to increase this number, do not increase it so much that the fax sender stops transmission. Later, if you want to disable the fax device from receiving faxes, right-click the device, and then clear either the Auto Receive or Manual Receive check box.
For outgoing faxes, you can also configure receipts, whether you will enable your users to create and use personal cover pages, and what your organization will include in the banners of sent faxes.
Fax administrators have full control over the incoming fax queue. This queue is the collective queue for all receiving fax devices that are managed by the fax server—it corresponds to the Incoming folder. Users who are not members of the Administrators group need to be assigned permissions to view or manage the incoming fax queue. A fax remains in the incoming fax queue until it is received successfully and routed in accordance with the policy specified by the fax administrator.
Only then is it moved to the inbox. If a fax is not routed successfully for some reason, it remains in the incoming fax queue until it is deleted manually—or it is handled in accordance with the automatic deletion policy that you have configured for the fax queue.
You can control incoming fax jobs handled by the Fax service by disabling the reception of faxes into the incoming fax queue. If the reception of a fax is stopped while being received, but a portion of the fax is successfully received, the fax is assigned the Partially received status and is moved to the Inbox folder. On the General tab, select Disable reception of new faxes to block new faxes from being added to the incoming fax queue.
Administrators can configure incoming fax routing methods to route incoming faxes to recipients on the network. In Fax Service Manager, there are incoming fax routing extensions that are global applied to all devices and others that are associated with just individual fax devices. For global methods, you can set the priority order in which they are applied to an incoming fax. Non-Microsoft vendors can extend the global methods for incoming faxes. Extensions could include, for example, converting incoming files to specific file formats.
Individual incoming fax routing methods are configured per device. After a method is configured, it can then be enabled or disabled. More than one incoming fax routing method can be applied to incoming faxes, and if a method is disabled, the device skips that method and processes the incoming fax in order of global-level priority. A disabled incoming fax routing method appears with an icon an arrow pointing down over it in the right pane. Route through e-mail.
Specify the e-mail address for receiving incoming faxes. Store in a folder. Specify the local or network path of the folder to which a copy of incoming faxes will be saved. If you choose this method, make sure that the folder you use has access to the Network Service account. You can use incoming fax routing methods to control what happens to faxes that are received by a fax device managed by the fax server. You can use any combination of routing methods to forward received faxes to an e-mail address, store faxes in a folder, or print faxes.
In the left pane, double-click Devices and Providers , double-click Devices , double-click the device you want to configure, and then click Incoming Methods. In the right pane, right-click the method you want to configure, click Properties , and then do the following:. To configure the Route through e-mail method, click the E-mail tab, and then type the e-mail address to which you want incoming faxes to be delivered.
For the Print method, click the Print tab, and then type the UNC path of the printer for incoming faxes. After the incoming methods have been configured, in the details pane, right-click each method, and then click Enable to enable the method, or Disable to disable it. You might want to disable a method if, for example, you want to temporarily disable printing because the printer is not working and faxes are getting stuck in the inbox. You should use this procedure if you have chosen to configure the Route through e-mail method for a fax device.
To enable incoming faxes to be routed to recipients by e-mail, click the Receipts tab and then do the following:. In From e-mail address , type the e-mail address to which all incoming faxes will be received. Also on the Receipts tab, click Authentication , and then, based on how your SMTP server is set up, do one of the following:. Click Basic authentication , click Credentials , and then type a user name and password. You can use Fax Service Manager to configure and manage how faxes are sent and archived, what is included as part of the fax transmission, whether receipts are issued, and rules for routing.
Select Disable submission of new outgoing faxes to prevent users from submitting new faxes to the Outgoing folder. Clear this check box to restart fax submissions. Select Disable transmission of outgoing faxes to prevent faxes from being sent from the Outgoing folder. Clear this check box to restart fax transmissions. The outbox folder is the queue of all faxes that are waiting to be sent or are in the process of being sent.
If you send faxes using multiple fax devices, the outbox is the collective queue for all these devices. After a fax is sent successfully, it is moved to the archive. Administrators can use Fax Service Manager to configure the following properties for the outbox and outgoing faxes:.
Include banner. You can add a banner to outgoing faxes. A banner is text that is added to each page of a transmitted fax. The banner format cannot be modified. However, if all the banner information does not fit, a shorter version appears. Information in a banner includes:.
Allow use of personal cover pages. You can enable users to attach custom cover pages to outgoing faxes. If you do not enable this feature, then users connecting to a fax server with a remote fax printer connection can only choose cover page templates located on the fax server computer. You can specify that the TSID specified for the device should be used. If you do not enable this option, the TSID used in the outgoing fax is the sender's fax number, as specified on the Sender Information properties page.
However, if you send a fax programmatically, the TSID parameter specified in the application programming interface API will be used instead of the sender's fax number. Number of retries. You can set the number of retries for attempting to resend faxes following an unsuccessful connection attempt or transmission failure. If the maximum number of retries is reached, the outgoing fax remains in the outbox until it is deleted or until you restart the failed transmission.
Retry after. You can set the number of minutes between attempts to retry fax transmission. When the maximum number of retries has been exhausted, the user can restart the transmission, which resets the transmission attempts. Discount rate start and stop. You can specify times when discount rates for the fax line apply and send faxes during these times.
A discount rate fax job can never start transmission outside the specified discount period. However, for a long fax, a discount rate fax job might have some part of its transmission outside the specified discount period.
Automatically delete faxes older than. You can specify that failed faxes in the fax queue should be automatically deleted periodically. The fax queue consists of the Outbox folder and Incoming folder. Select Include banner to print transmission information on the edge of each page of outgoing faxes. Select Allow use of personal cover pages to allow users to use cover pages from their personal cover pages folder when sending faxes.
In Number of retries , enter the number of times to attempt to resend a failed outgoing fax. In Retry after , enter the number of minutes to wait before trying to resend a failed outgoing fax. In Discount rate start , specify the time at which discount line rates will be taken into account when sending faxes.
