Receiving Faxes
FRITZ! – 5 FRITZ!fax 33
5.3 Receiving Faxes
Start by loading FRITZ!fax so that your PC is ready to answer
incoming fax calls.
Once a fax has arrived, an icon in the task bar appears
and/or the message “New Faxes Arrived!”. The method of
notification depends on the settings you specified on the
“Notification” settings page.
The new fax is designated in the FRITZ!fax Journal by a star.
Double-click the FRITZ!fax Journal entry to read the fax.
Restricted Fax Reception
To protect yourself from undesired faxes, call acceptance can
be restricted. In the “FRITZ!fax” settings you can specify
whether faxes without a number, or faxes without a sender
ID are to be accepted or rejected.
If you have activated the setting “Reject faxes without caller
ID”, then FRITZ!fax accepts incoming fax calls only if the call-
er's number is signaled by the CLIP feature. This generally
means that no faxes are accepted from analog telephone
lines, which ordinarily do not have the CLIP feature.
