Hi,
The Windows Fax and Scan utility enables you to send or receive faxes in Windows 7. You can use Windows Fax and Scan to send text entered into a fax form, documents created in other applications, and even pictures or documents scanned with a scanner attached to your network. With the Windows Fax and Scan utility, there’s no need for a standalone fax machine.
To be able to send and receive faxes with Windows Fax and Scan, your computer must either be connected to a fax server that’s part of your computer network or have a phone line connected to a fax modem installed on your computer.
Thanks
