Using Windows Fax and Scan
Windows Fax and Scan comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Business, Enterprise,
or Ultimate Editions. Windows automatically detects an optional built-in fax modem
during the setup process. You can connect your notebook to one local fax modem,
although you can connect to multiple fax servers or devices on a network. If you are
not sure whether your notebook has a built-in fax modem, see “Checking Out Your
Notebook” in your
Notebook Reference Guide
.
