Receiving your first fax

Your Express Fax receives faxes just like an office fax machine. You can be
working on your computer or away from home or office when a fax arrives.

By default, the fax software is not set to receive faxes when it is installed. The
Auto-Answer checkbox in the Fax Terminal Preferences dialog box must be
selected.

To receive a fax in your absence, you must leave your Macintosh turned on,
but none of the fax programs need be open.

Getting ready to receive faxes

1

Choose FaxTerminal from the Apple menu.

Fax Terminal opens.

2

Choose Auto-Answer from the Fax menu.

This choice automatically sets the Auto-Answer checkbox in Fax Terminal
Preferences.

. See also: “Setting Preferences” in Chapter 4 and “Auto-Answer” and “Call
management” in Appendix A.
