Are you using broadband? It’s fast! But then the Modem in our hands is all right, then the Modem becomes a piece of "Tasteless, abandon the pity" Don't forget that Modem is a device that converts digital signals and analog signals. It basically works in the same way as a fax machine, except that the fax machine has more than one modem. Scanners & ldquo; ” The function is gone. So can we turn the Modem into a fax machine? It's okay, like Windows XP, it provides us with a very good fax function, which can make our Modem change and become an Internet fax machine.
Setting up a fax machine
The first thing to note is that if you are still using Modem to access the Internet, you don't need to set anything. If you don't use Modem to access the Internet, just re-add it as you used to dial up. That's it, I won't say more here. Let's take a look at how to set up a fax. In the default installation mode of Windows XP, there is no fax machine, so we have to add the fax machine first, click “Start”→“Printer and Fax", we will see "Printers and Faxes&rdquo ; dialog box, click “ set fax & rdquo;.
Next Windows will install and configure the components of the fax machine for us
After installation, we can see an icon called "Fax" in the "Printers and Faxes" dialog box. Double-click this icon, we will see the "Fax Configuration Wizard", click "Next", we will set up the fax number, email, phone number and other sender information.
After filling out, click “Next”, we have finished configuring the fax, click “Complete”. At this point, Windows will pop up the "Fax Console" dialog box. This dialog box is very similar to the Outlook interface, and it is similar in use.
Sending a fax
Once the fax machine is set up, you are ready to send a fax. First click on “File” →“Send Fax", we will see the "Fax Send Wizard" dialog box.
Click “Next” to fill in the recipient's information, including the recipient's name and fax number, and then click “Add”.
After filling out, click “Next”, the dialog box for “Prepare Homepage” will appear. In this dialog box, we will set the format and information of the homepage. Windows XP provides us with four templates. We can easily design our fax according to the format of the template, click “Sender Information” to fill in some personal information that you think you need, and other columns can be filled out according to the prompts.
Then click “Next” to select the sending time and priority according to your needs.
Click “Next” to preview the effect of the fax. After you are satisfied, click “Complete" to complete the fax sending wizard.
At this point, the computer will start sending faxes through your Modem, and the “Fax Monitor” dialog will also pop up automatically.
At this point, the whole process of sending a fax is over. What needs to be specially explained is the “Fax Home Template” mentioned above. Windows XP provides us with four templates. Of course, we can also design ourselves. Template, in the “Fax Console” interface, click ““Tools” →“Personal Home” →“New”, you can design your own fax template.
Receiving Faxes
Windows XP also provides us with the ability to receive faxes. We only need to click on “File” →“Receive Faxes” in "Fax Console" You can receive your fax, and you can read the fax you just received in the "Inbox" in the &##Fax Console"
How about receiving and sending faxes with Windows XP is still very convenient! In fact, as early as Windows 95, Microsoft has provided us with fax capabilities. I don't know why, this feature is not available in Windows 98. Fortunately, Windows XP has taken this feature back. And the function and stability have been greatly improved, making our Modem rejuvenated. Modem is a device that converts digital signals from analog signals. The fax function on the computer uses the characteristics of Modem to send and receive faxes. If your computer is equipped with a scanner or printer, it can be a real fax machine.
