    Fax problem, can't receive but can send

    So this is at work...

    We have a fax machine, though old it is working well. Then we have a box where the fax is plugged into (the telephone line cable, plugged into "Fax"), plugged into the box also is the computer's Faxmodem (plugged into Line-In) and, for backup purposes (we are a grocery store) the credit card thing checker (interact?) is plugged into "Modem".

    So this Setup worked up until last week, when we had a problem with the internet and the credit card thing automatically started using the Fax's line (good thing). So then a guy came to repair the internet. After that, I was starting to transfer everything from the old PC to a new PC I just made for them. I tried the faxmodem, but it did not seem to work. It didn't matter really, because we need to install the accounting program on the new one, so we weren't going to use it for at least another week. So I put back the Faxmodem into the old PC, and:

    We can send faxes alright
    We CAN'T receive them anymore through the PC (well we did once but we don't know how it got through *Confused Send and Receive Faxes on my laptop :confused:)

    The usual pop-up saying we are receiving a fax pops up, but then it says there is an error. something like "error, cannot receive the fax" or something... the error appears after 1 minute or so of attempting to receive it.

    No settings have been changed, and everything is plugged in like before, the fax works normally, only when it get to the computer that it does not. If we unplug the computer, it prints in the fax machine.

    Any suggestions for fixing this problem?

    Faxing

    Hi Arlene,

    To isolate the issue about sending a fax message directly from your laptop, please provide the following information:

    • What happens when you try to send a fax message from your laptop?
    • Are there any error codes that appear when you send a fax message?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Regards.

    Send and Receive Faxes on my laptop

    Fax

    it's internet fax. you receive as pdfs via email and can send from a web interface or other options.
    some internet fax services let you install a virtual printer that sends the print output as fax
