When dialing up the Internet, you can use the computer to send and receive faxes, so can you use the

Winfax is a product of Symantec, a well-known networking software company. Speaking of this company, I believe you really feel a little thunderous. Many of the company's software dominates the market in various aspects, such as the Norton antivirus that we often see, the clone expert Ghost, and the remote control pioneer PCanywhere.

Currently, its software supports all current major Windows systems, including Windows 2000 XP. The trial version of these software can be obtained directly from the web**. However, it should be noted that WinFax must be of the ** version or above, otherwise because the program occupies too much system resources, it will not be able to achieve normal installation or use in many computer systems.

The trial version only has a 30-day trial period.

WinFax is certainly not just a new feature of shared faxing, but in general it has the following key features.

1) Implementing multi-user sharing of a fax device such as a modem for software faxing in a network is much smaller than the investment required to achieve sharing (physical connection through multiple lines) of a hardware fax machine.

2) It supports software fax from devices with fax functions such as modem and ISDN, and it is much cheaper than fax machines in terms of equipment investment.

3) It can be integrated with Outlook for email faxing, that is, sending faxes in the form of emails to the other party's mailbox. This is not possible with a fax machine. Of course, it is also possible to send a fax directly to the other party's fax machine.

4) Support Internet fax, so that you can fax with very low communication costs, greatly saving long-distance fax communication costs. This has considerable advantages over fax machines, because in order for fax machines to achieve Internet faxing, they must apply for similar services from the post and telecommunications departments and pay a large fee.

5) Support broadcast fax, can carry out batch fax, to meet the bulk fax business needs of enterprises, which is not achieved by fax machine.

6) Support attachment faxing, that is, like email, the common documents (such as word, excel, etc.) are added as attachments, but what is printed on the other party's fax machine is the content of the file, not just a file name, so that you can fax multiple types of documents.

7) The fax cover can be personalized design to enhance the corporate image publicity, which has an absolute advantage compared with the fax machine.

8) Support scanning fax. Scanned documents can be faxed directly from the scanner, which is useful when authentic faxing is required.

9) Support the use of ** card.

As long as you have access to the internet, you're good to go!

How to send and receive faxes on a computer.

Let's take sending a fax in Word as an example to describe how to send a fax directly to a computer.

1. Set up the fax software that comes with Windows.

Windows already comes with a fax software, and it's very easy to use.

In Windows 2000, click "Start Program Attachments Communication Fax Fax Service Management". Open the "Fax Service Management" dialog box, click "Equipment", and the modem of your computer will appear on the right. Double-clicking on a modem will open the properties dialog for that modem, and select "Enable Sending" in the "General" option.

2. Send a fax directly in Word.

After the above settings are completed, we can send the fax directly in Word.

Open a word document to which you want to send a fax, and click "File Send Fax To". Open the "Fax Wizard" dialog box, its operation is very simple, just press next, next to complete the whole operation quickly, but note that:

1.In the step of "Select documents to be sent", in order to reduce the time to send faxes and save fax costs, "No cover pages" is generally selected.

2.In the "Select program software to use for sending faxes" step, select "Fax" for "Use software". Remember, don't select the printer's driver.

3.In the Add Cover step, clear the Include Cover check box.

Once you have completed the operation of this dialog box, click "Done" and the system will automatically send the fax.

3. Receive faxes.

ok！The fax sent was successful! But if there is a fax coming in, can we also use the fax software that comes with Windows to receive it? Yes, all you need to do is set it up and it will automatically receive faxes.

Click "Start Program Attachments Communication Fax Fax Service Management". Open the "Fax Service Management" dialog box, click "Devices", and your computer's modem will appear on the right. Double-clicking on a modem will open the properties dialog for that modem, which can be selected in the "General" option.

Enable Receiving, and set the number of rings before answering. I think it's more appropriate to use 5 times, that is, when your ** rings 5 times and no one answers, it will automatically switch to receiving fax mode.

Now that we've set up "General", let's set up "Fax Received" again. When a fax comes in, you have two options: one is to use a printer to print out the content of the fax, and the other is for the system to automatically convert the fax content into a TIF format image and save it on the hard drive.

The author thinks it's best to keep it. So, just select "Save in folder" in this section, and you can also change the default save path.

That's the way it goes! 1.First, use a photocopier to make copies of what you want to transmit.

2.Have a fax machine. 3.

Know the other party's fax number ..You can also do this: use modem to receive and send, basically no difference, to achieve good shouting paperless, with windows built-in fax software compatibility, and stable.

One way to do this is to install a fax card and follow the required steps to achieve the goal. But the most practical and economical way, which the author recommends to you, is to use software to send faxes, and the operation is very simple.

Below, the author will combine a little experience in my own practice to tell you how to use software to make the computer send faxes to ordinary fax machines.

Of course, to accomplish this, the computer must be equipped with a modem (soft and hard). Moreover, it is necessary to have the above operating system, word processing software (such as or etc.) and fax sending and receiving software

Set the version as an example: open the program A row of toolbars appears in the upper left corner of the computer monitor, click the button, and a dialog box pops up to set the transmission parameters, fax header, **number, etc. one by one.

Set up the printer. To send a fax, you must use a virtual fax machine, a printer, which is automatically generated when the software is installed and does not have to be added separately, but must be set as the default printer.

Write fax documents. Write a fax document with word processing software, proofread it and save it for later use.

Use the mouse to click on the printer in the toolbar (the software must be active at this point). The Fax dialog box pops up, and in the ....In the status bar, enter your name, company (unit), fax number (you can also choose one from them), and then click the "Friend" button.

Don't bother with it. It's impossible.

There are two concepts of computer faxing:

One is to install specific hardware and software to realize the fax function;

Here can also be divided into two kinds of blindness, 1, according to the fax volume of the enterprise can choose to install modem (built-in about 50 yuan, the daily fax volume is about 300 copies), install fax card (fax card ** in about 2000 yuan, fax volume in more than 300 copies of the bridge); The second is to install a fax server. The fax fee is equivalent to the ** fee.

the second is through the use of network fax service providers to provide network fax services;

This method of sending and receiving faxes does not require you to add any hardware or software, and does not require ** line access. You can send and receive faxes by logging in to your web fax service provider**, using fax software, or by email. Fax tariffs are determined by the network fax service provider.
