Fax & Scan

I am a newbie on Vista.

How do I setup my Fax functionality as one of my printer. I have a land line
connected to my dial up modem on my desktop and I would like to receive and
send faxes through my desktop running Vista Ultimate.

Can you direct to a web site maybe where I can get the step by step
instructions in setting it up.

Thanks,

Mike

Be a good idea to give the make and model of printer/multifunction
device.

Thanks forthe prompt response.

I have a HP2840 multifunction printer, however, on XP I don't use any
printer to send and receive fax. I just use the Fax functionality from XP and
I can send and receive fax into my desktop.

Thanks,

OK -- I'll have to leave it to someone else to help you on this. I use
a free-standing fax machine when I need one .....

Faxes received by Windows Fax & Scan are stored just like emails. You can
then print them if you wish. Likewise, to send something from yout
printer's scan function just open Fax & Scan and click the scan button at
bottom left. That's assuming that you've already setup faxing in Windows
Fax & Scan Tools/Fax Settings.

P.S. Just enter Windows Fax & Scan in Help & Support or Google the subject.

Make sure you have either Vista Business or Ultimate versions. The
Home versions don't have FAX capability included. It can be added
from third parties, however.
