Receiving your first fax
Your Express Fax receives faxes just like an office fax machine. You can be
working on your computer or away from home or office when a fax arrives.
By default, the fax software is not set to receive faxes when it is installed. The
Auto-Answer checkbox in the Fax Terminal Preferences dialog box must be
selected.
To receive a fax in your absence, you must leave your Macintosh turned on,
but none of the fax programs need be open.
Getting ready to receive faxes
1Choose FaxTerminal from the Apple menu.
Fax Terminal opens.
2Choose Auto-Answer from the Fax menu.
This choice automatically sets the Auto-Answer checkbox in Fax Terminal
Preferences.

management” in Appendix A.
