just curious about sending a fax using Pamskype.
Do I but an online number?

basically allowing a fax machine and a phone on the same line to operate independently. For example, someone is sending a
fax and the phone doesn’t ring but the fax receives a fax, something like a splitter of some sort. So, I dont have to get another phone line for my fax machine

thankyou

i have had problems getting that seeminly built in program with office that is called Microsoft Fax, ex: like when you are in a Word Document and go to the File drop down Menu it has a Send to Fax Recipent option and then looks like you can go thru the motions of sending a fax.

However all the help files i’ve read seem to be on a Modem basis, and no sending help information when you are using a Voip for your phone line (or a DSL / Cable) any suggestions?

Or does anyone know of a free / inexpensive fax program that enables you to directly send faxes from a document from your computer instead of having to print it and then fax it?

Part of my desire in doing this is to save on paper… Thanks !

p.s. Happy Friday Everyone )

Their registration screen doesnt work but the screen for sending a fax if you’re not a member seems to work.

I am having a hard time sending a fax from Brazil to the United States. Any ideas of what codes I need to dial first before I dial the number?

sending a fax from computer to a real fax machine???

Hi,
I own a pc and a Brother integrated printer-fax-scanner MFC5440CN.
The Brother provided software doesn’t show an option of sending a fax directly from my pc. This is a significant disadvantage, since I must first print any document I plan to fax, and only as a second step fax it.
Do you know a way I can add direct faxing to my Brother unit?

I read the suggestion to add faxing capabilities to my xp pro system and followed the instruction.
Here’re my comments:
1. Adding this option requires mounting the xp installation disk (which I did)
2. Another requirement for this option to work is the availability of a modem. I’m connected to the web by DSL and manage without a modem. Therefore, I failed to implemet the suggestion.
3. I did learn however a point, which led me to a solution. Printing a document, allows the choice of a printer. Brother MFC-5440CN includes a printer called "Brother PC-Fax". When I choose this printer, I’m ofered a dialer, which uses a DSL connection, and provides a direct faxing capabilities to my system.

I hooked up the J3680 AIO printer for a friend. She will never, ever use the FAX but delighted to have the additional phone connection because she doesn’t have cordless phones so it gives her a phone near her computer.

My question is: If I set up the speed dials for her, can she use them to dial for a voice connection and NOT sending a fax?

The dial tone is fine and the printer phone rings & works when I dial it from my cell phone and when I use the numerical buttons on the printer to dial out. I just can’t figure out what to do to make the phone on the printer actually make a voice call once the number is in the window? The number just sits in the window and it does not dial.

This is a VOIP connection & I used a splitter at the wall for the router and the phone to the wall jack. The dial tone is fine. Just how the heck do you trigger the printer phone to dial out using speed dial? Or is speed dial only for fax usage?

What do you push to actually make the phone dial the speed dial number showing in the display?

I set up her cell phone on speed dial 01 just for a test but I could not figure out what button(s) to hit on the printer to make the call actually happen. I pressed speed dial and then I pressed "1" and the phone number was in the window but I have no idea how to actually ‘trigger’ the call. This would be to "talk" not to send a fax.

If the phone dials out and rings in, then it should all work??

Thank you in advance, Donna

From a two page fax, zetafax only sends out the coversheet which is our company logo. How do I fix this? Only one computer is having this problem, I tried reinstalling but it doesnt help. When testing and sending a fax to the company fax number, nothing came through yet on Zetafax it says sent complete without error. How do I fix this?

and it passed the test. Then I tried sending a fax to someone – and no return came back saying that it was successfull transmission or not. I’m use to going to Kinko’s, sending faxes – and always get a reply. On a home machine – am I supposed to get a reply?
How do I set up that feature? What would it be called?

I have Windows XP, have never faxed from it, but in need of sending a fax. I have a Dell system and am sure that it has the proper modem, I just can not seem to be able to fax from Word.

I used to use my 56k modem to send fax with dial up internet. I am now using ADSL. I installed fax using windows xp. When I tried sending a fax, it comes up in the fax console Outbox but does not go through (does not appear in the Sentbox).
When I click the Receive now icon I get this message "There are no fax devices. Please install a modem that supports fax operations".
