Windows 7 «fax and scan Windows»

I rarely work on my computer, please bare with my lack of computer knowledge... My printer is also a scanner. Six months ago, that I was able to scan from devices in the start menu by clicking on my printer of course.   I went to scan a copy of a license and send it, but when I chose my printer the analysis option wasn't there. So, I chose windows fax and scan on the start menu, not sure whether or not it was already downloaded from the "Start" menu. In any case, now the scan option is on my printer in the devices but when I scan something it sends everything I scan to windows media or photo program.  Before the fax Windows and research, I was able to analyze one or more sheets, and then send it to who ever or save it anywhere. Now, I'm really hurt. I need my old scanner back as it was under my printer. I need to start scanning of documents a week for a job and right now, I'm lost. I hope that this will make some kind of sense.  Help!

These days, most manufacturers have pdf copies of their online User Guides.  Go to the Support section of the Web site of the manufacturer of your and look for your specific model.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How to use Windows Fax and Scan if a modem has not been built in my PC?

    Original title: fax and scan Windows

    Why bother to preload a tower PC with windows fax and analyze if the PC has a modem and in fact does not even a wireless receiver.  When an ordinary user like me go buy the adapter wireless and go buy the fax modem, it's like going to a car dealer and make them ask ' you want this car with tires and wheels, or even that it is? »


    So when you go to Best Buy and Staples to find a fax modem for this PC HP who did not, and what they have is a Zoom modem that works work, WHAT ARE SUPPOSES to DO THEN?

    It is hardware problem, not an operating system. Windows does its part by providing the software needed to complete the job.

  • Windows Server 2008 fax and scanning... .cannot connect fax modem

    Hello

    I am running Windows Server 2008 R2. Recently, apparently after you install some automatic updates when the server unexpectedly shut down several weird errors are produced on the machine. First to be noticed was that faxes were more to be received. While they inspected more, the fax service had stopped working and could not be restarted, such as the Windows event log. After searching for some time, a solution was found here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowscompatibility/thread/c75ae899-d05b-411d-a7f2-00fdd33b8589/

    Fix Subinacl.exe described in the post didn't work, but deleting a corrupted windows journal file did, and the diary of events and fax services would begin again.

    I thought that my problem was resolved, but the fax service is still broken.

    Trying to set up the server to receive faxes with Windows Fax and Scan, once more, as he had done very well before, I came across another error. What the first implementation account fax by following the Wizard launched by selecting "new fax" for the first time, or through the tools-> accounts-> options for adding fax, the mistakes of the wizard with this message: "there was an error in setting up the account. Please contact your administrator. " After reviewing several other forums (this issue has been much more difficult to find information on then the first described error), this solution seemed to be what has pointed out several positions:

    http://www.Vistaheads.com/forums/Microsoft-public-Windows-Vista-print-fax-scan/50649-fax-account-Wizard-error-2.html

    This solution involves deleting the registry keys for accounts via regedit. I tried this, and it did not work.

    It doesn't seem to be that much more that I can do. I was ready to try a restore of the system on the server, but apparently there were not a restoration of recorded images, even if this isn't an option.

    Are there any other fixes documented for this?

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.

  • 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:

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

    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:
