Windows fax and scan disconnects prematurely then redials

windows fax and scan disconnects prematurely then redials to SOME but not all of my contacts
SO I have been using the dependable Canon FAX software through my MX860, same MS Contacts address book, same win8.1-64 fickle OS

Hi,
We can try to update the driver for your scan and fax and meanwhile, we can contact the manufacturer to update the firmware of your device.
Also try to repair the Fax and scan components by turn off and turn on in Turn windows features on and off:
If the issue persists, please help to upload the event log here for further research.

Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi Anton,
thank you for your advice.
In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
Thx
Peter

Cannot send/receive Fax through Windows Fax and Scan

Having a problem with Windows Fax and Scan on Small Business Server 2011 Standard SP1. When I call the fax number, I can see the line ringing in the Fax Status Monitor, but it errors out with "The incoming call cannot be answered as a fax
call". I've also tried sending and receive an error: "No dial tone was detected" I've connected a regular phone to the line and placed an outside call and received a call from an outside line. No errors are logged in Event
Viewer, but If I check the Server Roles, Fax Server shows Event ID 32092, 32032 and 32031
Troubleshooting so far has consisted of:
Restarting Fax service
Removing/Readding the Fax Account in Windows Fax and Scan
Checked Print Spooler and Fax queue for held documents to clear (none)
Uninstalled/reinstalled the fax modem in Device Manager
Run Windows Update(several security updates pending)
Checked the DeviceToMonitor key in HKCU to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo matches the DeviceName key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax (at one point it did not match)
Removing/Readding the Fax Role. In the process, also removing registry keys: HKLM_SOFTWARE_MICROSOFT_FAX, HKCU_Software_Microsoft_Fax, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_CountryList, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_Locations.
At one point or another, I have already reviewed the following links:

Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft

On current situation, please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot. Then check if can find more clues
and help us to solve this issue.
Please verify if the incoming fax can be received from other fax machines.
For modem, please temporarily reduced the speed to 4800bps for the Fax software.
Please increase the

Just for a test. Would you replace the old modem with a new one? Then monitor the result.
Hope this helps.

Windows Fax and Scan

Hi, My Computer is a Lenovo G50 (windows 8.1) and my Printer/Scanner is a HP Deskjet F4580 (F4580) All – in – one Series. The deskjet is connected wirelessly to my computer and prints documents OK but will not scan documents using ‘Windows Fax and Scan’. With my old computer I was able to scan documents. Can anyone help.

Hi canalboat211,
See if this video helps at all.

Windows Fax and Scan, can we label incoming faxes?

Hi all,
We are using Windows Fax and Scan in our small business and it works great EXCEPT that I cannot figure out
how to add a description to received faxes to make them easier to access later
We can do this with outgoing faxes, but cannot see where to do this with incoming faxes
any thoughts?

Hi Chry,
No, there is no method to add the description for the received fax. You only add the flag "mark as read /mark as unread".
I could read the subject to know the synopsis. Furthermore, the Preview pane also could let you read the first page of the fax.
Click View-> Preview(marked), Add/Remove columns-> choose "Subject" to displayed columns -> OK.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
Printing is fine.
When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
Connection to the computer is lost
The scanner is in use
OCR application is not installed"
My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
The printer has a static IP address;
Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
Appreciate any insights into this problem.
I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?
regards,
Motorbike

You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible. If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

Windows fax and scan printing

When printing from winnows fax and scan ( windows pro), I can not get the pages option to work. If I rec a 5 page fax and only want one of the pages I have to print them all. I have looked for a setting to check off or unchecked but have had no luck in finding one. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Derek

- try to update fax & scan ( via windows update )
- *click control panel > un-install/change a program > turn windows fetures on or off > uncheck fax & scan > restart your computer > then check the fax & scan again > check if issue persists.
* make sure you back-up your current settings & files, after re-installing fax & scan, settings & files may be lost.

Fax and Scan on Server 2008 Terminal Server

Summary: Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu on a terminal server with desktop experience installed. Any ideas why?
I am running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise as terminal server for about a dozen users. I would like to enable them to use the fax server capability of our Windows SBS 2003 server. From what I can tell, they can access the fax server using the Fax and Scan software on server 2008. All of the documentation I've read says that when I enable the "Windows Desktop Experience" feature on Server 2008, the Fax and Scan software should appear in the Start Menu. It's not there. I have un-installed and re-installed Desktop Experience, but still no Fax and Scan. From what I can see in the documentation, I don't need to install the fax server role to get the software, just the desktop experience feature.
Is is possible that fax and scan and/or other features of desktop experience are disabled when terminal services are enabled? Is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi,
According to your description, I suspect that you may misunderstand “Desktop Experience” and “Windows Fax and Scan”.
Based on my research, if you want to use Fax and Scan services on Windows Server 2008, you should install the Fax Server role from Server Manager first.(For instructions, see Install the Fax Server Role. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771198.aspx)
After you installing the Fax Server Role, the Windows Fax and Scan item will appear in the Start Menu(Start\All Programs\Windows Fax and Scan).
The Desktop Experience includes most of applications and features that are provided in the Windows Vista. Users who are using computers running Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, and Windows Server 2008 can send a fax using the Windows Fax and Scan feature—either using a fax device attached locally or a fax server. To access this feature on Windows Server 2008, you must install Desktop Experience, which is available from Server Manager.
You may refer to the following the steps to install Desktop Experience:
1. Open Server Manager: click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Server Manager.
2. In the Features Summary section, click Add features.
3. Select the Desktop Experience check box, and then click Next. and then click Install
Hope this is helpful.

Fax and scan not showing network contacts

Was bumped from the office Q/A forum

Just going to jump right to it, let me get the picture painted
windows 7 x32 office 2010 (also tested on office 2013
shared contact book from a networked pc
I open the fax and scan click to and/or contact buttons the shared contacts show up just fine
setup and activate an email account Imap/POP
repeat the process and only the outlook contacts show up
remove the email profile and the contact are back
all pc are domained
i have 5 other pc that don't have this issues
4 win7 x64 offices 2013
1 win7 x32 office 2013 (hosting the address contacts)
From what I can find most are having the opposite outcome that the outlook contacts are not showing up.

Hi Sean,
As per the description, I understand that a shared contact book cannot show in Windows Fax and Scan. There is not so much we can do on Office side, I'd suggest you check on Windows client side.
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. I would suggest you to post in the forum of
Windows 7 as Windows Fax and Scan is a Windows feature:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

It's recommended to download and install

Windows 2003 Server Fax and Scan to WIndows 8.1

I have a server with Windows Server 2003 on. We have computers running WIndows 2007 and Windows Fax and Server. All was great, could see the faxes inbox on the computer etc. Now I have a machine with 8.1 Pro and connected great to the Windows Server, can
see the sent items but cannot see the inbox faxes! Really am stumped, any help would be great.

Hi KFoote19,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm whether this issue just occurred on Windows 8.1 Pro client
computer? Were all Windows 7 client computers OK?
Please follow the following KB and perform a clean boot in Windows 8.1, then monitor the result.

In addition, please
reproduce this issue and use
Process Monitor to check the process if you can find more clues.
By the way, please check Event Viewer if you can find some relevant events.
Hope this helps.
