MISC MENU OPTIONS
FAX Set Up
This documentation is primarily for sending faxes via modem and phone line. Intellect works with the third-party vendor faxage.com to send faxes via the internet. Please refer to the Faxage documentation for faxage.com set up information. See also Sending Faxes.
To send faxes via modem and phone line, a modem should be installed on the system. Intellect Fax can share the modem with Intellect eBilling but it can not share it with PCM Fax, therefore, if the system has PCM then there should be at least two modems on the system. The recommended modem brand is USRobotics.
Utilizing the fax capability in Intellect requires these configuration steps:
1. Ensure that a 'FAX Device' is Enabled
3. Activate Fax Spooler in Windows
1. Ensure that a 'Fax Device' is Enabled
Often Intellect will have a default Fax device which is set up like a Print device. This document includes only the information necessary to configure a Fax device. See the documentation in Utility --► Set Up --►Printer --►Devices --►Add to set up a Print device.
