How do you connect a fax machine to a computer ?

Question by karinakat: How do you connect a fax machine to a computer ?
I have a panasonic fax machine that’s about 1 yr old. My printer is broken and I cant print the document. I want to send a document from my computer to my fax machine so that I can fax to someone. How do I do that. I think there is a way to connect them together and send the document to my fax/copier machine. Thanks.

There may be a simpler way. If your computer has a modem, and you are running Windows XP (and possibly 2000), you can send a fax straight from the PC. Go to Printers and Faxes and set up faxing. It will ask you several questions, which you need to fill out. But don’t send any faxes yet.

When you are done setting up faxing, go to your program, and go to print, and when it displays what printer you want to use, tell it to fax, then click print. It will ask you a few more questions, then it should send the fax. Make sure your phone line is plugged into the modem before you start.

If you aren’t running XP or 2000, look for faxing software on the internet. The process for setting up the fax should be about the same.
