Vista -----------------
How you can receive faxes depends on whether your computer is
connected to a fax server or to a fax modem.
If your computer is connected to a fax server, you don't need to take
any action to receive a fax. Instead, whenever your computer is
connected to the network, new faxes are automatically delivered to
your Windows Fax and Scan Inbox. If you're using a built-in or an
external fax modem, you need to choose how to receive faxes. Take
these steps only if you're using a built-in or an external fax modem.

When you receive a fax using Windows Fax and Scan, it is stored in
your Windows Fax and Scan Inbox only. To save a copy of a fax in the
Documents folder or another location on your computer, right-click the
fax in your Windows Fax and Scan Inbox, click Save As, and then browse
to the location where you want to save the copy.

To receive faxes automatically
If you want to change settings for sending and receiving faxes with a
fax modem, you need to provide an administrator password or
permission. Users with administrator privileges can change the setting
at any time. Before you try receiving a fax, however, make sure that
your computer is connected to a fax modem or fax server. For more
information, see Set up your computer to send and receive faxes.
1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click
Windows Fax and Scan.
2. To use Fax view, at the bottom of the left pane, click Fax.
3. Click Tools, and then click Fax Settings. If you are prompted for
an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or
provide confirmation.
4. Click the General tab, and then, under Send/receive options,
select the Allow device to receive fax calls check box.
5. Click Automatically answer after X rings, and then select the
number of rings after which the modem can answer incoming phone calls
to try to receive a fax.
NoteIf you choose to receive faxes automatically, the modem will
answer all incoming phone calls. To answer calls using your phone, you
need to answer before the modem answers them.
To manually receive a fax
If you set up your computer to receive faxes, Windows will notify you
about incoming calls so you can choose to answer them as fax calls.
You can receive a fax by clicking the notification. If you choose not
to receive faxes automatically or if you miss a notification, you can
receive a fax by taking these steps before the incoming fax call stops
ringing:
1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click
Windows Fax and Scan.
2. To use Fax view, at the bottom of the left pane, click Fax.
3. On the toolbar, click Receive a Fax Now. The Fax Monitor dialog
box appears and displays the progress of the fax.
To automatically save a copy of each fax that you receive
1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click
Windows Fax and Scan.
2. To use Fax view, at the bottom of the left pane, click Fax.
3. Click the Tools menu, and then click Fax Settings. If you are
prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.
4. Click the General tab, and then click More options.
5. Under When a fax is received, select the Save a copy to check box,
and then browse to the folder where you want to save copies.
To preview the contents of a fax, click the fax in your list of
faxes. The first page of the fax is displayed in the Preview pane,
below the list of faxes in your Inbox.
To open a fax and view its contents, double-click the fax in your list
of faxes.
To change how the fax is displayed on screen, click View, click Zoom,
and then choose the view option that you want.

Windows Vista Business Edition, you simply type Fax or Scan in the
Quick Search space. The new Windows Fax and Scan interface vaguely
resembles Microsoft Outlook, with a directory tree along the left
side, recent faxes in the upper right, and a preview pane in the lower
right. It's interesting that Fax and Scan is no longer a feature of
Home Premium; only the Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions
include the Windows Fax and Scan feature. That could be because future
versions of Exchange Server will include the ability not only to share
and store email and contact lists, but also to share and store voice
messages and faxes it has received.
Scan works just as easily. Click Scan and Windows Vista lists all the
available scanners and multifunction printers on the network. From
there, you can set up how each device will scan a document and store
the profile for later use. Previous versions of Windows allowed you to
scan from a device attached to one PC. Windows Fax and Scan also
allows for network integration.
Other enhancements include linking the Outlook Address Book with
Windows Fax and Scan. Just click the contact you want to fax, fill in
the subject line and attach any documents &mdash: just as you would
when sending an email. Further, Windows Fax and Scan integrates email,
fax and scanning into one user experience.

SYMPTOMS
In Windows Vista, you configure Windows Fax and Scan to automatically
route incoming faxes to a printer. Then, Windows Fax and Scan becomes
unresponsive.
This problem occurs when the printer requires input from the user. For
example, the printer may require that you input the name of the file
that is to be printed.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the routing process for incoming faxes is
automatic. In this process, the printer waits for input from a user.
However, if the printer cannot receive this input, the printer is
unable to complete the printing job. Then, Windows Fax and Scan
becomes unresponsive if the printer does not finish the printing job.
Back to the top
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, restart Windows Fax and Scan.
Back to the top
MORE INFORMATION
