To send and receive faxes (Windows ME or 98)
Sending and receiving faxes requires just a telephone connection—you don’t need an
Internet connection. You can use the modem and fax software to send and receive faxes
on your computer. QuickLink fax software is included with Windows ME or 98 on the
hard disk.
To start QuickLink
• Click Start, Programs, QuickLink, QuickLink.
The first time you start QuickLink, the Setup Wizard steps you through the process of
setting options and customizing the program for your personal use. Follow the onscreen
instructions. If you’re unsure which setting to choose, accept the default choice.
To send a fax
1. In QuickLink, click the QuickFax tool on the main toolbar.
2. Enter the fax number and the recipient’s name and company.
3. Type the message body in the QuickFax Note area.
4. Click Send Fax.
If instead you want to send a document as a fax, open the document in its application
window, then open the Print dialog box. Change the selected printer to QuickLink, then
print it.
To receive faxes
Faxes are automatically received when QuickLink is running in an open or minimized
window. New faxes are indicated in the status box in the QuickLink window. To receive
a fax manually, follow these steps.
