To send and receive faxes (Windows XP) 

Sending and receiving faxes requires just a telephone connection—you don’t need an 
Internet connection. You can use the modem and fax software to send and receive faxes 
on your computer. Fax Console fax software is included with Windows XP.  

To set up Fax Console 

Before you can use Fax Console, you need to install it. 

1.  Click Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs. 

2.  Click Add/Remove Windows Components, select Fax Services, and follow the 

instructions on the screen. If prompted for the Windows CD, point instead to the 
c:\i386 directory. 

To start Fax Console 

•  Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Fax, Fax Console. 

The first time you start Fax Console, the Fax Configuration Wizard steps you through the 
process of setting options and customizing the program for your personal use. Follow the 
onscreen instructions. If you’re not sure which setting to choose, accept the default 
choice. 

To send a fax 

•  Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Fax, Send a Fax, then 

follow the instructions that appear on the screen. 

If instead you want to send a document as a fax, open the document in its application 
window, then open the Print dialog box. Change the selected printer to Fax, then print it. 

To receive faxes 

Faxes are automatically received when Fax Console is running in an open or minimized 
window. New faxes are indicated in the status box in the Fax Console window. To 
receive a fax manually, follow these steps. 

•  When a fax call is coming in, click Receive now on the Fax Console menu bar. 

To view and print a fax 

1.  In Fax Console tree, click Inbox, then double-click the fax you want to view. 

2.  Click the printer icon to print the fax.
