Monitoring and notifying

Fax notification is used to keep you informed of fax events as you work. Notification tracks different kinds of fax activity, including the progress of incoming and outgoing faxes, and the success or failure of faxes being sent or received. Notification methods are divided into two categories:

• Visual notifications. These include an icon in the notification area, a balloon displayed next to the icon, and Fax Monitor.
• Audio notifications. A sound is played to indicate fax events.

You can configure Fax Monitor for the following visual notifications:

• When the fax line rings.
• When a new fax is received.
• When a fax is sent.
