installing fax in windows xp

[Guest guest]

go to control panel--add/remove programs, and you should see add/remove windows components on the left hand side of the window. open it, and check "fax". either it will install, or ask you for your operating system disk, and then install. either way, it should work. hope that's helpful.

I am just using the fax server from Fax Micro (my internet fax provider), but it sounds like it is time to try again to get the Windows faxSharon At 06:57 PM 12/7/2006, you wrote: When AC prints to fax, you should see a Windows fax screen. It should have an "address list" button on it, open that connection, enter the name and fax number in the address list, gradually populate your fax address list. It's specific to the computer you use. Tim, I just use AC to do the prescription, then print to fax. With any internet fax service, you can fax directly to the pharmacy. I have had no problems and it is easy to do. The only tiny hassle

is that in my current set-up, I have to enter the fax number each time. To overcome this, I have started putting the fax number of the pharmacy the patient prefers as the first medication on their medication list in AC. That way I can cut & paste it when the fax dialogue box pops up (and avoid typing in a digit incorrectly). I am sure there is another way to do that, (an "address book" for the fax) but haven't spent time looking for that & it wasn't obvious. AC doesn't automatically give you drug interactions, but does have a data base of meds. I used Relay Health in a former life, and while it does have more substance to it (dosing listed, patient handouts, etc.) it always seemed a little cumbersome to me. Part of that may have been the speed of the computers we had and the way the group set it up (messages routed through nurses before they came to us, doctors had to print each message to put in the paper

charts). Thanks for the info on the AC data tracking. I will look at that.
