Apple Fax - Manual (Page 27)

Receiving a fax
You can receive, view, edit, and print faxes using Apple Fax.
This section explains how to set your environment up for
receiving, how to check for received faxes, and how to open
and print a received fax.
Preparing to receive faxes
In order to receive a fax, you must either set Apple Fax and
your modem to answer incoming calls automatically (auto-
answer) or carry out the steps to receive a fax manually. This
section explains how to receive faxes automatically, as this is
by far the most common method.
To have incoming fax calls answered automatically
1 Click the Incoming button to display Incoming view.
2 Set the Fax Answering button to on.
Incoming fax calls will now be handled automatically by
Apple Fax. Reception happens in the background, so the
Apple Fax window does not have to be in front, or even
open, in order to receive a fax.
