Faxing
The fax capability of this modem kit allows you to exchange information with
other fax modems or with facsimile machines. The basics of what you need
to do this:
1. Physical Connection – You need a modem correctly installing in your
computer and connected by a standard RJ-11 cable to an active analog
phone line. This kit includes both the modem and RJ-11 cable
Software Tools – The modem also requires application software that supports
fax functionality. This kit includes this functionality in the Smith Micro
Quick Link software on the CD-ROM disk. Once installed and set up, it can
automatically detect and answer incoming faxes, or be set up to send outgoing
faxes. The modem and software sends “softcopy” versions of documents such
as files. If you have physical items (paper) you need to fax, they must be
scanned into the computer (a scanner is not included in this kit).
