To send and receive faxes 

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. You may need the Windows CD to complete installation. 

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 use. Follow the onscreen 
instructions. If you’re not sure which setting to choose, accept the default. 

To send a fax 

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

follow the instructions that appear on the screen. 

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

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, do the following:
