Vista - Can I Fax?

**da180** · 04-07-2009

I have Vista Ultimate with the Fax/Scan feature. Does this mean I can scan a document and then fax through the program?

Also, with regard to the phone line, if I am understanding the setup, I just run the line in to my fax modem then out to my phone? Vista will then dial a fax number and send it without the need for a dedicated phone line?

Thanks Peter, just one more on this...

When receiving faxes, does Vista automatically sense when a fax is on the phone line and then redirect it to the program or is there anything else I need to do?

The documentation in Vista was kind of vague on this.

No, Vista does not know the difference between a fax and a regular call..
