Microsoft Fax (Windows Fax service) *
Windows Fax Service and Windows Fax and Scan application is an integrated fax software included in all Windows versions. Microsoft Fax is an extensible fax platform that you can use to deploy shared fax resources in your organization. Users within an organization can install a connection to a remote fax printer on a network fax server and send and receive faxes using shared fax devices located on the server, as well as from a local fax device attached to their computers. Fax administrators can configure, manage, and monitor these shared fax resources. Centralized management of server-based shared fax devices means easier management and maintenance, and lower costs. Fax users can send and receive faxes without the need to use manual fax machines, saving time and effort.
In addition to the standard Microsoft Fax functions, Fax Voip T.38 Modem includes some more features when working with Windows Fax Service: in particular E-mail to Fax based on using Microsoft Fax Service and Incoming Routing Methods (Microsoft Fax): E-mail, Store in Folder, Print, Custom with possibility to do routing based on Called Number (DID) and without being tied to a specific modem device.
The maximum allowed number of fax modem devices that can be used with Windows Fax Service depends on the operating system. On Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7, the fax device limit is one. On Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012/2012R2, Windows Server 2008R2, Enterprise or Datacenter Edition, there is no fax device limit. On other versions of Windows 2008R2, the fax device limit is usually four.
* When using Microsoft Fax and Windows Fax and Scan, we currently recommend you to use other solution, Fax Voip Windows Fax Service Provider (Fax Voip FSP). Fax Voip FSP replaces the standard Microsoft Modem Device Provider by the Fax Voip T.38/G.711FAX Device Provider. This allows you to use the Windows Fax Service most efficiently. In particular, the ECM (Error Correction Mode) is supported. The busy signal is also detected correct way. Fax Voip FSP implements Fax Voip FSP Routing Extension that is integrated into the Windows Fax Service. Fax Voip FSP stores the Called Number (DID) in the Routing Information field, which is available in particular in the Windows Fax and Scan software, in the incoming fax properties (no workarounds are used). Outgoing Fax Routing Methods implemented in Fax Voip FSP work regardless of the user account under which the fax job was created. Using Fax Service Provider (FSP) instead of Virtual COM Ports and modems significantly improves reliability of your fax system.
