What is the best way to setup network faxing for a small office?
536812
From checking out the PDF file in the sources area, it looks like it's a function of the print driver.  Possibly a menu selection or different driver needs to be installed for faxing capabilities?  \n  As for the server.  Depends on what kind of hardware its on as to if it can handle it and what else is installed on it.  If there's nothing else, and it's a small business, and you're not faxing 50 - 60 pages / fax, you should be ok running it.  If it's just a DC doing fileshareing, I'd say you should be ok.  Take a base line of the server prior to setting up the fax solution and have a few select users start to use the fax capabilities, and monitor it again.  If the new monitor readings spike a lot higher than the original base line, you know you'll need a new server. \n\nFor light duty faxing, I don't think it should be a problem unless the driver does some type of document converstion on the server as opposed to the workstation.

Follow these steps...\n\n#1 Make sure all computers are set up properly via network. To do this you must do the following...\n\nOPEN MY COMPUTER> BROWSE TO DESKTOP> find "MY NETWORK PLACES" inside this box, find the item that says NETWORK SETUP WIZARD... open it...\nClick Next on the first window.\nClick next on the second,\nWhen you see the window that has 3 options, choose "OTHER" and when it goes to the next window choose the TOP OPTION, which should say "THIS COMPUTER CONNECTS DIRECTY TO THE INTERNET THROUGH A NETWORK OR HUB, OTHER COMPUTERS ALSO CONNECT VIA HUB"\nClick next, and name the pcs whatever you want so you can identify them.\nClick next, then specify the WORKGROUP NAME, which must be the same on all computers, MSHOME is the defualt which is fine. Then click next\nThen click "TURN ON FILE AND PRINT SHARING"\nThen click next\nClick next again.\nThen let it finish, then click JUST FINISH THE WIZARD I DONT NEED TO RUN THE WIZARD ON OTHER COMPUTERS.\nThen click FINISH.\n\n\nYou must do the above steps on all 3 computers to ensure they all are using the same type of settings.\n\nAlso after the step is done and you restart each machine, go to START>CONTROL PANEL< and make sure WINDOWS FIREWALL is turned off on each machine. When you turn on file and print sharing, by default the windows firewall will turn on...\n\nYou do not need windows firewall, it sucks, and you have a router which is a firewall in itself.\n\nStep #2\nMake sure the printer you want to share is either plugged into the router, or into one of your computers. Most likely its already installed on one of your computers...\n\nOn the computer you have the printer hooked up to, click START>CONTROL PANEL, find PRINTERS AND FAXES and when this window opens, find the printer you are using, right click the printer and choose SHARING make sure SHARE THIS PRINTER button is chosen. Choose a name for the printer and click OK... Just click OK to any other things it asks you.\n\nRestart all 3 computers to refresh the network... Usually the other computers will auto detect the Network shared Printer, but if they do not, then go to step #3.\n\nStep #3 Go to the 2 computers that the printer is not hooked up to, click START> CONTROL PANEL> PRINTERS AND FAXES and if you do not see the printer listed, click ADD PRINTER.\nWhen the window opens, click NEXT, then click the dot next to "A NETWORK PRINTER OR A PRINTER ATTACHED TO ANOTHER COMPUTER". \nThen click next.\nThen click BROWSE FOR PRINTER.\nThen it may scan for a bit, may even freeze up for a moment, then you should see the name of the other 2 computers you are not using, or the name of the computer that has the printer hooked up to it...\n\nCollapse the computer that has the printer connected to it, till you see the SHARED printer and its NAME. Double click it.\n\nIt may have a window message that says YOU ARE ABOUT TO CONNECT TO A PRINTER...ETC... Just click OK OR YES, then in the next window, click SET THIS PRINTER AS DEFAULT PRINTER>... then click NEXT and then click FINISH...\n\nNOW YOU ARE ready to use a single printer on any of the 3 computers...\n\n\n#4 To share files in general: Refer back to step #2... Except that this time you need to use the computers SHARED FOLDER, or create a folder in MY DOCUMENTS, or simply right click MY DOCUMENTS and click PROPERTIES then choose SHARING and then SHARE THIS FOLDER ON THE NETWORK, ALLOW USERS to change my files, is optional to you.\n\nThen click ok... \n\nNow any file in MY DOCUMENTS can be shared among computers...\n\nNote: If you allow users to change your files, they can delete crap from another computer, rename it, or possible move it. If you do not select the allowing users to change files option, the only thing they can do, is grab the file off the machine as a copy, while the original file is left untouched and unmoved.

You need fax modem in your computer. in windows xp just enable software from add/remove and then you can send and receive faxed in windows xp.  if you don't want to use windows faxing service then use winfax, it's a best software.

There are several email-to-fax services out there - basically you pay a fee, email them your document (which includes the phone number to fax to) and their service faxes it automatically.\n\nJust a couple examples...

No.  I assume you are running Windows XP, but set up a network with your two PCs.   \n\n1. Start at "Start"\n2. Go to "My Network Places"\n3. Choose "Set up a home or small office network"\n4. Use the wizard and select a name for the network (default MSHOME is fine but rather boring)\n5. Run the wizard on the second PC and use the same name for the network on both PC\n6. Reboot both PCs\n\n\nNow, is the printer a local printer to the primary PC?  If so, go to the control panel and view the printers.  Make sure the printer is shared.  Then install the printer on the second PC (easiest is to use the driver that came with the printer, but it may be a printer that comes native in Windows or you can download a driver.  But on the 2nd PC set it up as a network printer.\n\nGood luck!

Any modem will do fine.  The functionality you are looking for , fax, ans, mach etc. is more a function of the software application\n\nYou are probabaly best to look for a modem that is NON-windows, that was it does the processing on the hardware and not in the Win OS.  And it should be voice capable as well.

First of all your office has to allow this. One company I worked for allowed employees to connect from home and we used a software interface called Citrix. \n\nIf your office does allow this your IT dept. will be able to help you.

Good question.  There are a lot of options out there, some free, some pricey.  I've used Microsoft netmeeting along with a regular telephone conference bridge for business meetings with overseas divisions.  Works reasonably well.

Why don't you use your pc to send the fax?\nAssuming you have a dial-up modem and MS Office ........\n\nCompose your resume using MS Word.\nSave the document.\nThen click on the PRINT icon.\nUnder PRINTER, click on the Down-arrow PULL-DOWN MENU.\nHighlight FAX.\nClick on OK.\nFollow succeeding instructions to send FAX.\n\n---Make sure no one is using your phone line.\n---Make sure to DISABLE your Firewall, otherwise, it will NOT ALLOW the pc's fax software to dial-out.\n\nThe Fax Monitor will allow you to see on screen the progress of your fax transmission.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Berbee Software makes applications for Cisco phone systems. They are fairly easy to set up. I also like IPcelerate. TX

You can create one yourself if you want. Just include:\nDate, To, To #, From, From #, # of pages (including cover sheet) being faxed, and Message.
