How to Set Up a Windows Fax Server

To have a network of computers that can all send and receive faxes from their desktops, you must set up a fax server. Fax servers are ideal for companies that send and receive large numbers of faxes each day. Windows makes it easy to set up a fax server with the Windows Fax and Scan program. Users can use Windows Fax and Scan to send and receive faxes from their computers by connecting to a fax server.

Instructions

1. Acquire the network address of the fax server and permission to access it from the system administrator.

2. Click on the Start button and open "All Programs." Then click on "Windows Fax and Scan."

3. Click "Fax" to change to Fax View.

4. Go to the Tools menu and select "Fax Accounts."

5. Click on "Add," then click on "Connect to a fax server on my network." Follow the on-screen instructions in the Fax Setup Wizard to complete the setup.
