• 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.

  MS Word 97 (.docx)?
  PDF (.pdf)?
  Image (.jpg .gif .tiff) files?

  Hi deansterzilla,

  Windows Fax and scan is characteristic in construction, there is not a specific driver for the same thing.

  There is no specific driver to convert file types. All types of files are taken in charge and compatible fax and scan.  But when you scan a document, you can save the file in the file format you want to save.

• Windows Fax and Scan - what the appropriate use for the concurrent users to save to the network program?

  I'll try to keep this simple - as I already asked this on other forums without the answer. My environment - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit client machines. A computer needs to scan patient documents to a network shared by a group of users folder. There will be many people who use this computer even through all day (several shifts - environment 24 hours/7 days).  This is why I need multiple profiles from windows to all save the scan to the SAME network location.

  Currently I am trying to achieve with Windows Fax and Scan and using the ' Scan 'option under 'tools' routing. "  There is a check box (once in this option) for "network location".  I am using this option, but its does not work and that's the whole problem. Its supposed to AUTOMATICALLY record each scan to the specified network location, but it does no such thing. The scan is not registered at all in fact it is just in the interface user of Windows Fax and Scan... double you click it, and then it shows you the image.

  Some information note for helping people answer this question (and any help is appreciated):

  (1) * YES * the network folder, I am trying to record is a valid network folder and * IS * accessible via my network of different devices

  (2) * YES * the user of this journal on the computer with the scanner * ALL * read/write to have rights to this location of the network folder

  (3) * file YES and printing sharing is already active on clients

  If you please if someone either knows how to solve this problem, or at this stage if you can even suggest a different (cheaper the better) application that will scan to a network location please let me know.

  One might think to a disabled feature labeled as "scan routing" and then a field for "network location", it would be simple as plugging in the network folder and checking a box - apparently it isn't.

  Thank you.

• 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

• "How to remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools' - >"Scan Routing? '"

  My question is very simple: I believe!  How can I remove scanners listed in Windows Fax and Scan App under 'Tools'-> 'Scan routing?  This really should not be so dang hard when I do an install, and regedit, I looked at most of the places are to get rid of any residue.  However, when I get back in Windows FAX and Scan, inevitiably I see printers / scanners way back when I bought this laptop.

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system.

  I think I'll try the following:

  Uninstall Norton & reboot

  Reinstall your HP printer using the latest version of the full software features on HP site, preferably in the usb connection.

  Test the printer or use HP diagnostics to test its operation, then uninstall HP printing via programs & features software.

  Then use the HP utility to completely re - move

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=MP-49133-2

  If all goes well, that should put an end to this

  (With the help of uninstalling programs & features should remove the printer from the "Devices and Printers")

• 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.

• Windows Fax and Scan cannot detect Photosmart C4580 all-in-1 scanner connected to the wireless network

  I have no problem printing or scanning when I connect my C4500 to PC via USB.  When connected via my home wireless router I can print OK but can not scan - it's the same for other users and computers.  Windows Fax and Scan gives me the message 'no scanner found. '  I need to work so that all users on my netwrok home can share the scanner.  I use Windows 7 64-bit.

  Thanks Travis_C (HP).  I actually found the solution just before receiving your answer!  I discovered that, although the Solution Center says it would uninstall the existing files before allowing me to reinstall with the latest version downloaded, it didn't remove all the files.  I only discovered this because the new facility has not taken me through the whole fresh installation procedure, he simply asked me what additional features I wanted to install and asked me if I wanted a local printer or network etc.

  I thought that there must be a mistake or problem with whatever existing files were left and the new facility would not correct it.  So I used the control panel to uninstall the existing files, and I made sure that everything was gone.  I then used the last download to reinstall, this time through the new correct installation procedure, and everything now works perfectly.

  With this method I always had a problem on another PC, giving me the same problem I had before.  I realized that this was due to a USB dongle connected to the PC to a wireless keyboard that seems to affect the installation.  When I removed the dongle installation worked again perfectly, and I now have full printing and scanning ability on all PCs.

  I think the installer for this printer wireless (and perhaps others?) should be updated to solve the problem, and also the center of Solution must be fixed to ensure that if you uninstall the software it should not leave anything.

• Windows Fax and Scan "Sender Name" empty (Windows Server 2008 Standard)

  Hi all

  I am using Windows Server 2008 Standard (32-bit) with a RocketModem III card.  I have the latest drivers for the RocketModem.

  Using Windows Fax and Scan, I can send and receive faxes fine.  The only problem is when I see the fax, the name of the sender is blank.  I am trying to display the telephone number that someone sends me the fax to.

  I had thought it might also be under CSID, but everything I have complete options because it puts there.  I guess that means I want the CSID show for all those who sent faxes to me.

  It might be worth noting that I have active CallerID and you have a real fax machine that shows the incoming number very well.

  Does anyone have an idea where I could go wrong here?  Thanks in advance for the help!

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

• Windows fax and scan without adding contact

  I use Windows Fax and Scan to send a quick fax to someone.  In the dialog box "New Fax", you can enter a name of my address book Outlook or to a phone number.  I would like to enter a name and a number for someone who is not in the address book without having to create a contact for them in the address book.

  The cover page editor allows me to insert the two {name} and {recipient Fax #}, so I expect to be able to enter this information when I send the fax.

  Thank you.

  JerryK

  You do so by using a one-off Fax address as indicated in this article:

  How to use the Windows 2000 Fax Service to initiate a mail merge in Outlook 2002
  The names that you insert in the cover page editor cover fields in your address book to be filled in by the address book when you select a default contact.
