When the computer is used as a fax machine (1)

Today, the broadband network is rapidly spreading. The Modem in our hands seems to have been "incorruptible." It is too slow to use the Internet, and it will be accompanied after it is eliminated. Do we have countless days and nights of kittens without any value? Of course not, we can also send and receive faxes through your Modem, the effect is very ideal, which can make our Modem rejuvenate and add a practical function to our computer.

Do you use broadband? It’s fast! But then, the Modem in our hands is all right, so is Modem a piece of chicken tasteless? 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 "scanner" and "printer" functions than Modem. Nothing. 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.

Set up the fax machine

The first thing to note is that if you are still using Modem to access the Internet, then you don't need to set anything; if you don't use Modem to access the Internet, then just dial the same as before. It’s okay to add it again when you go online, so 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" → "Printers and Faxes", we will see the "Printers and Faxes" dialog box, click "Set up fax".

Next Windows will install and configure the components of the fax machine for us

After the installation is complete, we can see a name called "Fax" in the "Printers and Faxes" dialog box. icon. 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 in, click "Next", we have completed the configuration of the fax, click "Finish". At this point, Windows will pop up the "Fax Console" dialog box, which is very similar to the interface of Outlook, and it is similar in use.

Send a fax

After setting up the fax machine, you are ready to send a fax. First click on File → Send Fax and we will see the Fax Send Wizard dialog.

Click "Next" to fill in the recipient's information, including the recipient's name and fax number, and then click "Add".

Click "Next" after filling out, and the "Prepare Home" dialog box will appear. In this dialog box, we will set the format and information of the home page. Windows XP provides us with four templates. We can easily design our fax according to the format of the template, click “Sender Information”, 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 "Finish" to complete the fax sending wizard.

At this point, the computer will start sending faxes through your Modem, and the "Fax Monitor" dialog will pop up automatically.

At this point, the whole process of sending a fax is over. Need to specify the "Fax Home Template" mentioned above. Windows XP provides us with four templates. Of course, we can also Design a template. In the “Fax Console” interface, click “Tools” → “Personal Home” → “New” to design the home page template of the fax.

Receiving Faxes

Windows XP also provides us with the ability to receive faxes. We only need to click "File" → "Receive Faxes Now" in the "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 it, it is very convenient to receive and send faxes with Windows XP! 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.
