Installing modems using the windows fax drivers

If you want to use the windows fax modem drivers, you must install Microsoft Fax prior to configuring GFI FAXmaker, otherwise GFI FAXmaker will not detect them. To install:

Screenshot 20 - Installing Fax Services

Install the fax modem(s) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Download the latest modem drivers from the manufacturer website, do not rely on the automatically detected driver of Microsoft Windows! If the modem supports fax, then windows should install the Microsoft fax service.
Check whether Microsoft Fax is installed by going to `Add Remove Programs' in Control Panel, clicking on `Add Remove Windows components' and check that Microsoft Fax Services option is ticked.
Check that the Microsoft Fax service (`Fax') is started and set to automatic. You can do this from Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services applet.
Check that the Microsoft Fax printer driver is installed from `printers and faxes'
Send a test fax to ensure that it is working. Do this by printing to the Microsoft Fax printer driver.
Once you run the GFI FAXmaker set-up, the installation wizard will recognize this fax modem and you will be able to configure fax lines that use the Microsoft fax drivers.
