Installing the GFI FAXmaker server software on 64-bit (x64) computers

Installing GFI FAXmaker on x64 systems installs the NetPrintQueue2FAX printer driver for 64-bit operating systems. In this case, for 32-bit clients to use the NetPrintQueue2Fax driver the 32-bit version of the same drivers must be also stored on the 64-bit machine. The 32-bit clients will then be able to retrieve the 32-bit drivers from the 64-bit machine on their first use of the NetPrintQueue2FAX printer driver.

1. To install GFI FAXmaker on x64 systems, follow the installation procedure specified in the ‘Installing the GFI FAXmaker server software’ section in this chapter.

3. Click Next to continue.

NOTE 1: During 32-bit driver installation, GFI FAXmaker will prompt you to insert the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 CD (32-bit version). This is required to install 32-bit Windows Kernel Drivers.

NOTE 2: If Windows Server 2003 CD is not available, unselect the ‘Install 32-bit drivers for GFI NetPrintQueue2FAX’ option. GFI FAXmaker will automatically copy the GFI NetPrintQueue2FAX 32-bit drivers in “<product_folder>\NetPrintQueue2Fax_Drivers” for future use.
