• Win 7: still can't find "Fax and Scan for Windows.

  I tried and tried to locate the utility Win 7 embedded 'Fax and Scan for Windows' using the links given to me by your Anshul Arora a few days ago... and still does not activate/download... whatever, this utility application.

  For example:

  1. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/products/features/windows-fax-and-scan does not help.

  2 ""scan a doc or a picture with Win Fax and Scan " page says " click on the Start button, click on "all programs, then click on Windows and digitization." "" I don't see an "Windows Fax and Scan" when I do that.

  3. I haven't installed scanning programs and had Win 7 look for a Setup program; can't.

  Offhand, I would say that my version of Win 7 doesn't have this built-in utility!

  I don't want to use the installation of Canon. I used Windows Fax and Scan "" hundreds of times and I like it better.

  Help!

• Fax and Scan in Windows 7 - cannot connect to a fax modem

  Fax and scan worked under Vista. Shows Device Manager this modem (Dell Conexant D850 56 K V.92 DFVc) doesn't work and it has the most current driver. I can successfully query the modem via the Diagnostics tab but when I try to set up a fax account, I get a message: "year error occurred." Please try the operation again later or contact your administrator. "Any ideas on how to make this work?

  Thank you!

  Cindy

  Hi Cindy,.

  As someone suggested on your Dell forums thread, your system is not compatible with Windows 7 and Dell did not provide any Windows 7 drivers for your specific model. If you want these drivers created, you must contact Dell directly.

  The most I can recommend download the Windows Vista driver for the modem and install it in the mode of compatibility and explained below:
  HOW to: Install a hardware device using the Compatibility Mode driver

  If this does not resolve the problem, you need to go back to Windows Vista or buy a Windows 7 compatible modem. If you want to ensure that a specific modem is compatible Windows 7, I recommend using the Windows 7 compatibility list.

• How to scan documents several pages into .pdf using Microsoft Fax and Scan in Windows 7 64 bit

  I need to scan documents from several pages to .pdf files in a user's preferred directory.  I have a HP Color Laserjet 2840 Director HP Windows XP to scan documents to .pdf files. I had to move the printer/scanner on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  No HP Director or the HP Solution Center is supported for this printer under Windows 7 and HP Internet site recommends the use of Windows Fax and Scan.  Fax and scanning does not support scanning into .pdf analyses or several pages in any format except TIFF.  It also only allows files to be redirected to network folders and is not a browse button to select a location.  Short buying Adobe Acrobat and using a 2-step process of digitization in TIFF format and then print the TIFF to PDF file. does anyone have any suggestions?

  I discovered thanks to a thread on this issue that Windows 7 does not come with the ability to scan multi-page documents, although versions previous to Windows.  I read that it takes download program Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) Microsoft to scan multi-page documents.  What a pain!

• Scanning with HP all-in-one printer with fax and scan Windows in Windows 8

  When you install a printer driver in Windows 8, you can scan from your computer without having to install any additional software to HP. This is particularly useful if you want to or not does not require the full functionality software or if your printer does not have a driver to scan for Windows 8.

  Windows Fax and Scan uses a Microsoft Service called WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) to capture an image from the scanner and allow you to save without the need for additional drivers.

  In addition, Windows Fax and Scan cannot scan to PDF.

  If you have problems using Windows Fax and scan with Windows 8 make a post below. I hope this helps anyone looking for an alternative method of scanning in Windows 8.

• Fax and scan Windows

  For scanning, I prefer to use Windows Fax and Scan rather than the Canon's own scanning software.

  When I got Windows 7, I could add my MP990 multifunction analysis component to the control panel (devices and printers as a separate unit). This allowed Windows Fax and Scan to recognize the component analysis of my MP990 and scan him.

  I recently did a clean install ("custom") of Windows 8. Unfortunately, I do not remember how to configure the component analysis of my MP990 all-in-one as a separate device and now Windows Fax and Scan does not recognize that I have a scanner.

  Please note:

  • I have already installed the latest driver for my MP990.
  • The printing of my MP990 component works perfectly.

  Someone would remind me please how to configure the component analysis of my all-in-one printer in devices and printers so that Windows Fax and Scan will recognize my scanner and scan from it. Thank you very much.

  From my research, I can tell you that it is one of the most frustrating problems with MFPs. I am happy to say that I discovered the solution, after a lot of experimentation.

  The first thing to know is that Windows Fax and Scan uses Windows Image Acquisition. Therefore, your printer must have a WIA driver. According to this article in the knowledge base on the Canon Website:

  Which inkjet multifunction printers are supported on Windows 8?

  Windows 8 has a native WIA driver for the Canon MP990. It's just a matter of persuading Windows 8 to install the driver.

  In addition, it is useful to check if the Acquisition of Image Windows service is running, but it almost certainly works.

  If you have already installed the Canon MP990 then it appear in devices and printers as a printer. I discovered that, in my case, the MP990 is only installed as a printer. You want to be installed as a printer and a scanner.

  To do so, go to devices and printers, and follow these steps:

  1. Select "add a printer".
  2. Click on ' the printer that I wan't is not listed. »
  3. On the next screen, add your MP990 printer by any method there is.
  4. Let Windows install the MP990 (again). Since the MP990 was already installed as a printer, the only thing left for Windows install is the scanner.
  5. After you are finished, you will see two icons for the MP990 in devices and printers. If you just click on each icon in turn and look at its description in the status bar, you will see that an icon says "category: printer" and the other icon "category: printer; Scanner' Bingo! You have now installed the scanner.
  6. Remove the icon that says only "category: printer" [click the > remove the instrument]

  Now you can scan with Windows Fax and Scan.

  I don't know why my MP990 himself initially installed as a printer only. However, I figured out how to get Windows to install the scanner as well. I hope it will be useful to someone else.

• Types of attachment in Windows Fax and Scan

  Windows Fax and Scan uses a driver to convert the file into a format that is compatible with fax devices.

  In, faxing an ATTACHED document using Windows Fax and Scan... What are the FILE TYPES recognized by Windows Fax and Scan it would be Send/Fax compatible for basic fax devices.

  Hi deansterzilla,

• Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

  So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

  And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

  And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

  Thank you

  -Greg Scott

  Hello Greg,.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

  Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

  If you use Windows Fax and Scan and a flat bed scanner, you can scan multiple images to separate files probably. Not all scanners flat have this ability, so you may need to contact the manufacturer of the scanner to get a driver so that your scanner flat may offer this option.
