To configure your computer’s fax settings, click Tools, Fax Settings. If prompted by UAC, click Continue if you are an administrator, or provide an administrator password if you are a standard user. A multitabbed Fax Settings dialog box appears.

1. Select the General tab to specify whether the fax service should send, receive, or send and receive faxes and how to answer incoming calls. 2. Click More Options. In the TSID and CSID boxes, enter your fax number and/or company name. This information will be displayed on the other person’s fax machine when you send or receive a fax.

If you want incoming faxes to be printed automatically, check Print a Copy To and select a printer from the drop-down list. Click OK to save the information.

3. Click the Tracking tab to adjust how to be notified about the status of a sent or received fax. By default, all notifications (which appear as pop-up balloon notes), fax monitor settings, and sound options are enabled. Clear check boxes to disable selected notifications.

4. Click the Advanced tab to view or move the location of the Fax Archive folder, disable the banner line at the top of sent faxes, adjust redialing settings, and specify when discount long-distance rates start and end.

5. Click the Security tab to specify which users and groups can send faxes or manage the fax service and fax documents. By default, everyone can use the fax service. If you want to restrict its use, remove Everyone and add individual users.

6. Click Apply; then click OK to save your changes and close the Fax Settings dialog box.

7. Click Tools, Fax Accounts if you need to add or remove a fax modem or network fax server.

8. Click Tools, Options to bring up a multitabbed Fax Options dialog box. The General tab is used to enable (default) or disable playing a sound when new messages arrive. Click the Receipts tab to configure the sending of email delivery receipts (which can also include a copy of the sent fax). Click the Send tab if you want to enable the inclusion of an original message in a reply. Click Compose to change the default font used for faxes (10-pt. Arial Regular).
