Using [email protected]/Windows Workstation Features

Sending a Fax

You can send documents, etc. from Windows applications as faxes using the Amanda 
voice server’s fax modem. You can fax whatever a Windows application can print, for 
example, all or part of a document or spread sheet. 

N

OTE

:

When you submit a fax request, Amanda sends a special message back 
to your mailbox when the fax is either successfully sent or determined to 
be a failure. On the telephone, Amanda says one of the following:

Fax <phone number faxed to> sent.

Fax <phone number faxed to> deleted because the remote phone 
number was incorrect.

In Amanda Messenger, the fax status appears in the Subject field.

To send a fax from a Windows application:

1.

Select the application’s Print command.

2.

Change the printer to Amanda Fax 32 then click OK.

The Amanda Fax 32 dialog box appears.

3.

From the Action drop-down list box, select Queue Fax To Host.
