Fax printer Sambafax - Windows XP
Microsoft has ceased security support for Windows XP on 8 April 2014. This means that PCs running Windows XP will no longer be safe to use.
Please contact your 1A partner to obtain a more recent operating system or a new PC.
This manual is for older systems and/or software and is no longer maintained.
This manual explains how to use your 1A-server to send and receive faxes through Sambafax. Your 1A-server is equipped with a HylaFAX fax server that can be accessed in two ways: through the server through Sambafax, or by installing a print monitor such as Winprint.
When you try to send a fax via Sambafax, your computer will send the fax via Samba to HylaFAX on your 1A-server. This will allow you to send faxes quickly and easily by including a fax number in your message.
To use Sambafax you do not need to install any software. You just need to add a network printer and your fax will work. This manual explains how to add a network printer and use it to send faxes.
