Using Windows Fax and Scan
Windows Fax and Scan comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate
Editions. Windows automatically detects the 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.
Your fax cover page, on which you can include all required information, is set up when you
prepare to send the first fax from this notebook.
You cannot send or receive a fax using a cable or DSL modem by following these instructions.
Many Internet services exist that let you send or receive faxes using a broadband connection.
Your dial-up modem cable must be installed before you can send and receive faxes. You cannot
use your standard telephone modem to connect to the Internet while sending and receiving faxes.
