FAX
The FAX service is used for sending fax messages, using the fax software on your computer. You can use this service to establish a connection to any Bluetooth device which supports the FAX Gateway (Server) role.
The FAX service provides a Bluetooth COM port prepared for Bluetooth faxing. You can use the fax COM port in connection with the Microsoft fax software or a third party application such as Symantec WinFax Pro in order to establish a fax connection. Please refer to the relevant documentation, like the Windows online help (if you use the Microsoft fax software).
Note that the Bluetooth Software Suite only supports the FAX Data Terminal (client) role. This means that it is not possible to establish a Bluetooth FAX connection between two computers running the Bluetooth Software Suite (as neither of them supports server functionality).
Links can be established by dragging and dropping in the Bluetooth Neighborhood:
Drag the FAX icon from the Local Services bar to one of the following in the list view:
The remote device (or device folder), or
The remote FAX service.
In the following example, a link is being established by dragging the local FAX service to a remote FAX service:
Note: The FAX Profile requires a Bluetooth COM port. By default, the profile is associated with Bluetooth COM port 7. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports”.
