Why Internet Fax?

Internet faxing has a lot of benefits over traditional faxing. To start, you don't need special machines and the supplies associated with it. The traditional fax machine has quickly become a thing of the past as we start to make everything on line.

Internet Faxing also allows you to send and receive crisper, clearer documents at the speed of light. Something that old technology wasn't able to do?

Why Free Internet Fax Services?

It may be true what people say: "there's nothing really free in this world". Free Internet fax services may not cost you money, but when you send them, the receiver always get a page of advertising first. This may not be a big deal for occasional personal faxing, but for business faxing, it is something that could hurt your company's image. Also these free services don't allow you to receive faxes, only to send them.

Could Paid Internet Services Be What I'm Looking For?

Paid services besides letting you send and receive faxes, will also give you more control and give you a series of benefits that you might find useful like fax broadcasting, and complete tracking of documents.

In the end it is up to you what choice to take. However rest assured that Internet faxing services are here to stay.

The 1040 Fax can send documents at speeds up to 10 ppm, which is not at the top of the market, but will work well for most offices. The 50-sheet paper tray probably is not large enough for a busy office that receives a lot of faxes. If the 1040 Fax runs out of paper, it can store up to 100 pages in memory. This desktop fax machine has a 10-page automatic document feeder as well.

The 1040 Fax uses inkjet printing, but it only can accept black ink cartridges; it has no color printing capabilities.

Like most desktop fax machines, the 1040 Fax can work as a makeshift copier, running at speeds up to 1.5 ppm.

Does this thought strike a chord of dread in your heart? It shouldn't. There are things you can do to help ensure that you get the kind of crowd you're hoping for. One method that has proven quite successful is voice mail broadcast.

Take a Personal Approach with Voicemail Broadcast
There's nothing more personal than a message left on someone's answering machine. With voice mail broadcast, you'll be able to leave everyone on your guest list a personal invitation. Email invitations may get consigned to the junk mail folder, and mailed invitations may be discarded unopened. Reach out via voice mail broadcast and you can be secure in the knowledge that your warm invitation will be met with an audience.

All your faxes will get easily processed from word or any of your window programs. The tool makes it simpler in; sending and receiving faxes to any corner of the world, printing incoming faxes as they are received, scanning and faxing and much more. Other than that this utility accommodates even with your modern fax modems, calling cards or dialing cards. The built in modem recognition database automatically configures the modem for you. You can also save your faxes as multi-page TIF files or standard windows bitmap.

The ideal tool for personal or small businesses can customize all the fax details in order to number, date, subject and recipient.

Applications like Fax-on-demand, SMS-on-demand, Voice Mail and other IVR systems are possible without any programming. A simple voice modem or voice board is all you need. Voice files can be recorded or created through a text-to-speech engine. You can also design interactive scripts to dynamically react on incoming SMS or e-mail messages. Scripts like SMS-to-Email or EMail-to-SMS are only some of the possibilities.

Almost all modems manufactured today are capable of sending and receiving fax data. Fax/modem software generates fax signals directly from disk files or the screen. Even if a document is text only, it is treated by the computer as a scanned image and is transmitted to the receiver as a bitmap. Faxing a message online works well if the recipient wants only to read the message. However, if the document requires editing, it must be converted into ASCII text by an OCR (optical character recognition) program, or it must be retyped manually into the computer. A more efficient method of sending documents that require modification is through the e-mail system. E-mail files are already ASCII text so they can be edited immediately in any text editor or word processing program.

The Internet now provides a new and cheaper way to send faxes in some cases. A number of free and commercial companies provide arrangements for using the Internet rather than the public telephone system for most or part of the path to the fax point. Some services also provide the ability to broadcast a fax to multiple addresses.

* Set your baud rate to 9600 and turn off Error Correction Mode. The slower your Fax goes, the more likely it is to go through without errors. Most VOIP providers are unable to support the default baud of 33600 baud due to the amount of data that has to go through. Error Correction Mode was designed for faxing PSTN to PSTN. Voice over IP often has extra noise added due to jitter instabilities in the connection as it travels from one fax to another. This causes false positives for Error Correction Mode because it will cause the fax to loop over and over trying to fix these noise errors, when it can’t be fixed. This will end in a communication error usually.

* Use a provider that supports T.38 - T.38 is an audio codec designed for Faxing over VOIP. it allows for more detail and better looking images as well as stability by creating redundancy in the RTP stream.

* Set your packetization to 10 milliseconds or less. The more header there is in the stream, the less likely jitter and instabilities in your internet connection are going to cause a synchronization error. (You may need to contact your provider to make this happen if your box is locked, such as if you use Vonage.)

* Keep on top of your ISP. Stability in your internet connection are paramount in making sure that faxes are successful. Speed tests can help you track this. Look for an advanced speed test that offers more than just and upload and download speed. A personal favorite of mine is located at MyVoipSpeed (Note: An up to date Java version is required) which is really nice because once you’re done, you can click on the detailed analysis link and then call up your ISP and give them the URL for the test so they can see what’s going on.

* When all else fails, call your VOIP provider. There may be issues in the routing of your calls that are causing problems. Only your VOIP provider’s call processing team will be able to fix this kind of thing. Have your provider test from a PSTN line and then their own VOIP line. If they can send through PSTN but not their own VOIP line, it’s a routing issue on their own end.

* Bonus Tip! Don’t even think about faxing using Voice over IP on a satellite or wireless connection. These kinds of connections are too unpredictable, and add a huge amount of latency that will make it impossible for fax machines to sync up properly.

* Instruction Manuals!!!

Step 1
Check the fax machine plug. After you check the fax machine power supply, check to make certain that its telephone cord is plugged into a phone jack.

Step 2
Insert the document that you wish to fax into the "outgoing" fax tray. Machines differ, but there will usually be an icon or picture directing the user as to where to place the outgoing document. Most fax machines require the user to insert the documents face down, but check your specific machine.
Step 3
Dial the phone number to which you wish to send the document. In some offices, you may need to dial a number such as "9" for an outside line. You may also need to include the area or country code.

Step 4
Wait for the receiving fax machine to "answer." You will hear a sound like a computer modem: a series of high-pitched squeals and static-like noises. Depending on your fax machine, you may have to press the "Start" button to send your fax, or your model may automatically start sending the fax by itself.

Step 5
Look at the fax machine display console. It shows if pages have gone through successfully or if you need to resend a fax due to an error. Generally, when a fax has gone through successfully the machine will beep or display a "success" message.

Step 6
Stock your fax machine with plenty of paper in the "incoming" fax tray. That way if you receive a fax, it instantly prints on the paper provided. Even if you are out of paper, your fax machine will keep received faxes in its memory, and it will print them when you finally do stock the machine with paper.

Step 7
Note whether your fax machine has its own dedicated phone line. If so, it should receive faxes automatically. If you use one phone line for both your fax machine and a regular telephone, you may need to press "Start" to process an incoming fax. You can recognize an incoming fax easily; if you pick up the phone, you will hear the same modem sounds as when you are sending a fax.

There are a number of advantages to moving to a Windows XP-based fax system, the main one being no wasted paper. No need to print documents before faxing them. You can read, save, delete, or attach incoming faxes to e-mail—all without using a single piece of paper. Of course, you can print them too.

Although you don't need a fax machine, you'll need a phone line, a modem, and a scanner to send and receive faxes from your computer. For faxing, the modem and scanner don't have to be anything special. Even a 33.6 bps modem will dispatch a multi-page letter in a minute or two. As to the scanner, faxes are sent in black and white and usually at a default resolution of no better than 150 X 150 dpi. Any working scanner can manage that.

The fax service isn't automatically installed in Windows XP. To install the fax component:

1.Open Control Panel, and click Add or Remove Programs.

2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components. Select the Fax Services check box, and then click Next. The Windows Component Wizard takes care of the rest.

Note: If you don't have a modem already installed, take care of that now. Make sure the modem is connected to a phone line and the phone line is connected to a working jack. (You'd be surprised how often folks overlook these details.)

After the fax component is installed, the next step is configuring it. You configure the Fax service in the Fax Console, the center for faxing tasks. To configure the Fax Console:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, point to Fax, and then click Fax Console.

2. On the Tools menu in Fax Console, click Configure Fax, which starts the Fax Configuration Wizard. Click Next to start configuring your fax information.

3. On the Sender Information page, include your name or your business name and your fax number. Everything else on the page is optional.

4. On the Select Device for Sending or Receiving Faxes page, your modem will be selected, unless you have more than one, in which case, select the right one. Specify send and receive options, and whether you'll manually answer incoming faxes or answer automatically when received.

5. On the Transmitting Subscriber Identification (TSID) and Called Subscriber Identification (CSID) pages, enter your business name and fax number. These fields really matter when you're running special fax routing software. Most software of this kind depends on TSIDs to determine where to direct an incoming fax. See How to Enable and Configure the Fax Service in Windows XP for more information.

6. On the Routing Options page, specify how incoming faxes will be handled. All faxes are stored automatically in the Fax Console, but you can also print a copy or store a copy in a local folder or on your network.

When you want to change or verify any of these settings, simply run the Fax Configuration Wizard again. To open the wizard, on the Tools menu of the Fax Console, click Configure Fax.

However, if you are using Opera e-mail client, or just made an attempt to switch to it, you may have noticed that Opera has no particular support for importing contacts from other e-mail software. For example, migrating contacts from Microsoft Outlook is not easy.

In order to import your Microsoft Outlook contacts to Opera, you may need to use a tool that will save you a lot of time retyping the names and addresses from one address book into another one.

coOpera is such a tool. It helps to convert your Microsoft Outlook contacts to Opera format. All you need to do is export your Microsoft Outlook contacts to a CSV file, choose the contacts you would like to convert, and finally, import converted contacts to Opera browser. Everything else will be done automatically for you!

coOpera migrates all information that an Opera contact can store: contact name, e-mail addresses, postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, notes and website address.

coOpera is absolutely free for personal, non-commercial use.

coOpera works on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista systems and requires Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your computer. The software has been tested to work with Opera 9 and Microsoft Outlook 2000/2002/2003.
