How Faxes Are Sent
After you prepare your fax and click Send, WinFax begins processing your
fax. The steps involved in processing a fax may vary, depending on where
the fax was created and assembled.
Faxes created on the Fax Sharing Host – WinFax delivers the fax to the
modem or device, displays the Status dialog, dials the recipient’s fax
number, and instructs the modem or device to send your fax. When the
transmission is complete, the Status dialog closes and WinFax updates the
fax status in the display area of the Message Manager Logs window.
Faxes created on the Fax Sharing Client – After you prepare your fax
and click Send, WinFax does the following:
Creates a log record in the Fax Sharing Client Outbox (in Message
Manager).
Connects to the Fax Sharing Host using the WinFax PRO Fax
Sharing device.
Transfers the fax image files to the Fax Sharing Host’s Outbox (in
Message Manager) for delivery.
Updates the Fax Sharing Client fax status that appears in the
display area of the Message Manager Logs window to read
“waiting at server”.
Monitors the Fax Sharing Host until the fax is sent using the
modem attached to the Fax Sharing Host.
Updates the Fax Sharing Client fax status.
Moves the log record from the Outbox to the Send Log.
Notes: After the fax is delivered to the Fax Sharing Host, you can exit
WinFax. If WinFax is not running when your fax is finally delivered, the
status is updated the next time you start WinFax.
Monitoring Fax Status
You can verify the status of sent faxes in the following ways:
From the Status dialog (Fax Sharing Host only) – During fax
transmission, status information appears in the Status dialog on the
Fax Sharing Host. The Status dialog is not visible to the Fax
Sharing Client station.
