Receive fax with Windows XP

In an emergency, a foreign friend will send me a fax, but I don't have a fax. What should I do? I suddenly remembered that Windows XP had a fax function, but I never had a chance to use it. I tried it, so I had to tell my friend my phone number and study Windows XP.

I finally discovered the fax function of Windows XP. The process is as follows: Open "Control Panel> add or deleteProgram→ Add/delete Windows components "(1). By default, the fax service is not installed in Windows XP. You can select" Fax Service "and click" Next "to install it. After the installation is successful, the fax icon named Fax appears in the printer and fax on the control panel. In "Start> program> attachment> communication", you can "fax" The program group. Now run "fax console" to open the "Tools" menu. Select the "Configure fax" command (2), and you can set the fax step by step in the "Configure Fax wizard" guide. Note that only sending is allowed by default. We recommend that you select "receive allowed" and "automatic response" (3 ); select "fax printer configuration" to display a dialog box similar to the printer properties. How can I know whether the fax is configured? Select "fax monitor". A dialog box (4) appears ). The above shows "sent and received faxes are ready.

It may be time difference. In the evening, I slept and vaguely heard two phone rings (sorry, I have not recorded this experience in detail ). I saw it early the next day. Wow, it's successful! I couldn't help shouting, and the fax was lying in the "inbox" of the "fax console" (5 )! This was the first time I received a fax on my computer and finally experienced a real success! I am so excited that I will immediately write this article and share it with you. As long as you have a computer, a telephone line, and a "cat" (now the common "cat" supports the fax function .), There is also a fax machine. It is especially urgent for staff who do not often use faxes and do not purchase fax machines.
