• 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 program

  Does any one if if of Windows Fax and Scan program have the ability to receive the fax, then one more at the same time?  We use to have fax software that store incoming faxes as they came instead to send a busy signal - sound windows fax is only letting a fax at the same time and our customers are complaining that our fax line is always busy.

  A fax is sent on a standard telephone line, if this line is busy with a fax, nothing else comes through, even a voice line, unless you have multiple lines

• Questions Windows Fax and Scan

  Hi all

  After modernizing our systems to small business from Windows XP to Windows 7 x 64, we were unable to use the toolkit provided with our printers Canon MF Fax/scanning, we converted in Windows Fax and Scan

  So far, it's working fine, but I have three questions that I can't find answers to...

  1. when a received fax is deleted, where is he?  I can't to the trash, and sometimes, I delete a fax by chance and here to recover, but can't find it

  2 can we somehow add a comment/topic to faxes received to allow the best management of incoming messages?     Would be really nice if the Inbox can be sorted by sender or subject

  3. can you inbox / outbox backed up/archived/export made?

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you have some queries about the Windows Fax & Scan utility. I hope you find the following useful answers.

  1. There is no "deleted items" bin ior recycles n Windows fax and scan, so unless you have a backup system, you cannot recover the deleted documents.

  2. No, you can't add a comment/topic to faxes received to allow the best management of incoming messages.

  3. Ideally, the location of the Inbox of fax is C:\Users\ (username) \Documents\Fax\Inbox.

  I would also ask refer you to the following article to understand Windows Fax and Scan.

• 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.

• 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.

• Cannot install the Windows Fax Service

  I used to have a FAX in Control Panel > printers and Faxes screen, but I no longer. I went to control panel > Add/Remove programs/add Windows components and some Fax Services. The installation process starts and a Fax icon appears on the screen with my other printers. Until the installation finished, however, this fax icon disappears.

  I check start > all programs > Accessories > communications > Fax but the menu drop-down should be, he's not here, and the box says just (blank).

  I recently installed a new Canon printer that has the ability to "Fax From a Computer" that allows me to send faxes directly from a document using the modem in the PC. I think the only action of the Canon printer is made that a fax has been sent.

  After I installed the Canon printer I got a Canon Fax icon both Windows Fax icon, but I had a problem of phone and none of them worked. I have fixed the problem of telephony and the works of Canon Fax function in the computer, but I get the problem described above, when you try to install the Windows Fax.

• Java 6 Update 29 disabled windows fax

  Has anyone else had this happen?  Java 6 Update 29 completely disabled the function of fax for windows in Windows XP SP3.  The only solution was to restore to an earlier point before the Java Update and cancel future updates of Java.

  Solved the problem!  It was apparently a conflict between Macromedia/Adobe Flash and Java.  The Flash update 10 and updated updated Java 29 more precisely.

  I completely deleted the Flash program; Update Windows and Internet Explorer. Flash installed c. 11; and then allowed the Java 29 update to install.  The program Windows Fax and the printer work properly.
