  A standard Faxmodem and standard telephone connection is essential to faxing.

If you are using DSL or CABLE, please read this important information

If you are using a non-standard telephone service, such as VOIP, this can cause problems with faxing. Please be sure and read this important information.

MightyFax will work with most common faxmodems (the dialup kind), but we have often found the following modems to be problematic:

Conexant SoftK56 modems
Motorola SM56 modems
PCtel modems
ESS modems
Creative Modem Blaster modems
Intel HaM modems (and other modems of the HaM variety)
Lucent Win modems
LT Win modems
Ambient HaM modems

Creating Faxes

Mighty FAX installs a printer driver so that you can fax directly from Windows software, including Microsoft Word or any other Windows program. You do this simply by 'printing' to the Mighty Fax Printer Driver, which creates a fax from your printout.

As an example, here is how to fax a document from Microsoft Word:

1. Start Word.
   

2. Open the document you want to fax.
   
3. Click File.
   
4. Click Print. Your default printer will be displayed.
   
5. Click the small down-arrow next to the name of your default printer. Other installed printers, including Mighty Fax, will be displayed.
   
6. Select Mighty Fax from the list of installed printers.
   
7. Click OK and Mighty Fax will guide you from there.

You can also add a cover page to the fax. Or, for quick one-page faxes, you can just go into MightyFax and create a cover page by itself with a short message.

Sending Faxes

Once a fax is created it is ready to be sent (transmitted). You can do this at any time, whenever it is convenient for you.

Outgoing faxes are stored in the Outgoing fax table and may be viewed, printed and sent at any time. Once the fax is created, to send it simply click on the SEND button.

Faxes may be sent to traditional fax machines, as well as to other faxmodems.

MightyFax uses the modem in your computer and a regular telephone line to send faxes. Most modems (99%) will work fine without any special setup.

Receiving Faxes

To receive faxes, Mighty Fax must first be put into "receive mode". While it is in receive mode, it will answer all incoming calls, fax or not. If you plan to have Mighty Fax constantly in receive mode, it is best to have a separate telephone line.

Received faxes are stored in the Incoming fax table and may be viewed and printed at any time. You can keep them for as long as you like, or delete them when no longer needed.

Please note: Your fax number is whichever number the faxmodem is plugged into. We do not assign fax numbers.
