Sending Documents With Windows XP FAX Console

R

Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]

You can't. You must print them from the application in which the document is
created or send them as attachments from Outlook.

You mean I can't even if I had a scanner? I don't but aren't most scanners
equipped with a faxing program, that would be my next step, -to create a
document with my word processor and scan it as a FAX. Has anyone ever heard
of this being done? or know of a way that I can FAX a flyer with Windows XP?
Thanks! Doug

I already answered your question. No, most scanners do not have fax
software, but they do create image files. You just open this image file and
print it to the fax printer from the application in which it was created.

Its far simpler to create the document in your word processor then print it
to the Fax printer. See the following for more information:

I'm not talking about sending it to the printer, I want to fax a document
created with my word processor.

You seem to have misunderstood Hal's answer.

When the Windows XP fax facility is installed, it creates a printer-like
listing as seen in Control Panel Printers and Faxes. To use it, Select
it as the default printer and print the document as usual. As "Printin"
starts, there will be on-screen prompts. If this is first use, some
screens will appear for required information.

If Fax does not appear in your list of printers, you will have to
navigate to Control Panel Add remove programs Add/Remove
Windows Components and select Fax. Put the Windows XP CD in the drive
and follow on-screen prompts.

Let us know.

SIGH!!! The Fax Printer IS THE FAX MACHINE! When you "PRINT" something to
the "FAX PRINTER", you start the Send Fax Wizard which sends the something
you printed as a fax. I don't suppose I could coerce you into READING the
documents I provided links to, they EXPLAIN all this in detail.

Thank you ever so much group! -the answer that said to print to FAX when
selecting print, is the answer that I was looking for and successfully
accomplished, it does open the send fax wizard but when you have provided
the necessary information in the last step it will prompt you to view the
fax and as you can see the original print to FAX document will be there.
Thanks again for your time and patience! Doug
