  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

To start or stop outgoing faxes

  1. Open Fax Service Manager.

  2. In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.

  3. On the General tab, do the following:

    1. Select Disable submissions of new outgoing faxes to prevent users from submitting new faxes to the Outgoing folder. Clear this check box to restart fax submissions.

    2. Select Disable transmission of outgoing faxes to prevent faxes from being sent from the Outgoing folder. Clear this check box to restart fax transmissions.

Note

You can also stop the Fax service directly to prevent faxes from being sent or received. For instructions, see Stop the Fax Service.

Additional considerations

To configure fax components, you must be a member of the Administrators group or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.
