Using Microsoft Fax
To fax documents from your multimedia notebook with Windows 98 and
Windows 95, we recommend using Microsoft Fax, which is available in both
operating systems. You must set up Microsoft Fax so that you can send and
receive faxes.
Setting up Microsoft Fax
Although Windows 95 and Windows 98 look very similar, the setup
required for Microsoft Fax is different for each operating system.
1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, then click Control
Panel . The Control Panel appears.
2.
Click Add/Remove Programs , then click the Windows Setup tab.
3.
Click to select the Microsoft Fax check box if it is not already selected. If
the check box is already selected, exit Add/Remove Programs and you
can stop here. If a message asks you to include all required components,
click
Yes and continue to step 4.
4. Click OK at the bottom of the Add/Remove Programs window. If the
Inbox Setup Wizard appears, go to step 5. If the Inbox Setup Wizard
does not appear, follow the instructions on the screen.
5. In the Inbox Setup Wizard, click the Properties button and make sure
your active modem is selected. If the wizard prompts you for mail
information you do not have, click
Cancel to exit the wizard, then restart
the wizard and clear the check boxes for Microsoft Mail and Internet
Mail .
6. The default Answer mode is Don’t Answer . If another program uses the
same COM port as your modem, keep the default setting. Otherwise,
change the Answer mode to either
Manual or Answer After . Choose
Manual if you will use your phone line for voice calls or other programs.
