Sharing Fax Resources

A fax printer located on a central fax server (Windows Server OS) can be shared among network users. Users can install remote fax printer connections to the fax server on their client computers (Windows 11, Windows 10 etc.), and thus send and receive faxes using fax devices located on the fax server.

To configure fax server in Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012/2012R2 or Windows Server 2008R2 to be shared with client computers, see To configure Fax Server (Windows Server 2022).

To connect a client computer to fax server located in your network, see To configure Fax Client (Windows 11).

Notes

• You cannot share fax resources on a workstation based operating system such as Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 7.
• The instructions in this chapter assume that both computers (server and client) are configured as members of a workgroup.
