Document Imaging Fax Modem

F

Fran

I recently installed the Document Imaging Add-in which I love. After
scanning my document to be faxed - the only options are to Fax with a
service. I don't need that (usually there's a cost). I'm connected via
modem but there's no option. The work-around is to PRINT to FAX - which
works - but I'm wondering if there's something I'm supposed to add or change
or something....

Print using the fax isn't a work around. It's the way it's done with a
modem. The other way using a service like eFax.

I'll take your word for it - but in office products - it always says "send
to" person via, e-mail, fax, etc. E-fax is a paid service - and typically a
person with a home office or even at work would use a modem. There still
should be an option there. Just my thought - I wrote to microsoft.

Yeah, there is, when you right click on a Word doc., for example, you see
"Print" as an option and don't need to do the extra work of going down to
Send to :) I have W2K and it doesn't have a fax option in the Send to menu.
I suppose, MS made some cash putting eFax in there. Seems to be the trend
nowadays ...

With either WIndows 2000 or XP, Microsoft includes a fax service that is an
optional windows installation. It is there, you just assumed the worse and
did not look or query Windowss Help.

Do you think you are telling me something I don't already know? I used the
fax when I had W2K and I use it now with XP Pro. Did you read my post or are
you replying to someone else other than myself?
