• Windows Fax and Scan will not add an account to my internal Fax Modem

  I tried all the work around listed Forums and Windows Fax and Scan will not add an account to my internal fax modem. The Modem is recognized by Windows 7 and test very well. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  Hello michgaud,

  To set up a fax server

  1. Before you begin, make sure that your computer is connected to the network and you know the network address of the fax server (for example, \\mycompanyfaxserver).

  2. Click the button start , click programs, and then click Windows Fax and Scan.

  3. To use the fax mode, click fax at the bottom of the left pane.

  4. Click the Tools menu and then click Fax accounts.

  5. Click Add, and then, in the Fax Configuration Wizard, click on connect to a fax on my network server and follow the instructions.

  Check the following settings:
  In Windows Fax & scan settings, open tools/Fax and under the general tab.
  Look at the 'Fax select device".
  Your modem is listed here?
  You have the, "allowed to send and/or receive" selected?

  This setting should be checked and selected until all accounts are created.

• Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

  : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

  From: Hal

  Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

  Snappy Fax

  http://www.snappysoftware.com/

  RKSFax

  http://www.rkssoftware.com/rksfax/overview.html

  VentaFax

  http://www.VentaFax.com/

  FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5

  http://www.FaxTalk.com/products/ftfcp/index.htm

  I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

  http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

  BVRP PhoneTools

  Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:

• Windows Fax and Scan do not connect to fax

  Recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium. Trying to get Windows Fax and Scan to fax in my HP Officejet J4580 multifunction device. Install the HP drivers, printer and scanner work OK and fax device appears under devices and printers. With the device on and in Fax Setup, select 'Connect to a Fax Modem' generates an error: "an error has occurred. Please try the operation again later or contact your administrator. "It's strange because the fax device appears to be installed correctly and is recognized by Windows.

  How can I get Windows Fax and Scan to recognize and connect to the fax?

  Windows 7 set my printer and fax as separate devices (HP C6180 all-in-One) - should also ensure that the fax was NOT DESIGNATED as a PRINTER in the dropdown under printer properties - you can have the same problem in reverse...

• Problem with Windows Fax and Scan does not connect to the Internal Modem

  Just got a new Acer Aspire 5542-5416 computer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, 4 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive. It has a 56 k modem integrated fax of like the old days, but I can't make it work. The laptop did not come with the Windows CD.

  If I open the program Windows Fax and Scan, it is not able to connect to the modem. Basically, if I click on tools > fax accounts > Add..., I get a box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server. When I want to connect a fax modem I get a message that says: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator. It allows me to do this then just clock OK and them I'm right where I started.

  While in Windows Fax and Scan, if I click on tools > fax settings... nothing happens. No menu settings or anything ever appears. Quite simply, the program does nothing. If I try tools > Fax Status Monitor... I get a box that says entrance exam status, ready to receive a fax. It has a blue progress bar as something takes over, but it gets about 1/100 to and never goes further or ends. There is no box, but there are 3 buttons: view details, answer call or cancel. If I hit details, I get an empty list. If I click on answer call I get an error that says that the fax service is not available.

  If I try tools > Options, general tab has only a single option box is checked: play a sound when come it to new messages. If I try to print a Word or PDF file to a fax using Fax in the printer list, I get the same box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server, but I get the same error message: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

  I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but no luck. There is a lot of discussion about this problem, but none of the solutions work for me. If I go to Device Manager, the modem is working properly and if I click on the Modem query on the Diagnostics tab, it seems to be able to communicate with the modem very well. I tried to roll back the driver and updated again and still no luck, same problem. If I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax\Accounts in the registry, there is no subkeys under the folder accounts I can delete.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there any solution for this? I did a Windows Update last night and has not yet solve it. Thank you.

  Sorry about that.

• Scanner does not scan the using Windows fax and scan

  Hello

  I just bought a new PC Toshiba [win 7 Professional].

  The fax from Windows and research, who settled, scanning a single page as separate 3 files - he never analyzed correctly.

  My other PC [Win7] using Windows fax and scan is not this problem using the same scanner.

  Any ideas?

  I look forward to your response,

  Peter M2201

  Dear Palcouk

  Thank you for your reply,

  Before I tried your suggestion that looked very useful, I thought I would try first to upgrade the software.

  I checked for an update of the MS driver, found an and on installation, the problem is solved.

  Thank you for your suggestion and effort,

  Kind regards

• Windows 7: Windows Fax and Scan - can't get it to automatic backup to a network

  We use Windows Fax and Scan (Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1)-this is the version included with our client for 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise OS

  I just installed a scanner in a sleep laboratory, scanner works perfectly. There are several sleep technicians that will connect to a computer with the scanner (so short of several user profiles) and patient scan RXs.  Problem is that sleep manager wants the scans to record automatically in a central location for any technology connects in their analyses will record in the same place as everyone else.

  The key is the AUTOMATIC backup.

  This is so the news of background - at the heart of the question... it seems a feature that offers Windows Fax and Scan does not work.

  If you go in fax and scan, there is an option in the tools of-> Scan routing.  If you read on the functionality of its supposed to save AUTOMATICALLY in the network shown, its not to do so.

  So I check the box 'Save in the network folder' (don't know the exact wording)

  (I use xxx because I don't want to publicly share real location) \\xxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\Neuromuscular.

  This is 100% valid and share name of work - used for years many people save to it... Windows Fax and Scan says "sharing network not valid."

  If someone said just use \\server\share

  OK I create a folder on my computer, we'll call it Computer1 and name sharefolder. I share and give "everyone" access read/write... sharing is \\Computer1\Sharefolder.

  Plug in Windows Fax and Scan - it don't be complaint that it is a bad sharing more. So I think that a lot!

  I scan a test page - this isn't automatic registration to \\computer1\sharefolder.  I can come here, but that defeats the whole point of the analysis of routing.

  Sleep lab will be scanning hundreds of slips of Rx by day, management won't allow lost time by manual movement of the images to the save location.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. Got to be honest I'm a little irritated right now because I think its Microsoft as announced a feature in one of their applications is not working.

  Thank you

  Tom

• Vista Ultimate and no. Windows Fax and Scan option

  I use Windows Vista Ultimate SP1, checking that the scanning device shows in scanners and cameras - status = ready but Windows Fax and Scan is not in my Start Menu.  I think that's where?

  Thank you-

  Hi Pmd10,

  You can type fax and scanning in the start search box and the option should appear in the upper part of the menu, or you can check if these steps also.

  1. Click Start > Control Panel
  2. Click turn on or off windows features

  If the scan and fax option is enabled, try to uncheck the option, and then click ok

  Restart your computer and check.

  Hope this has been helpful.
