If you already have a Profile that you regularly use (for example, to check e-mail), you can continue using it by adding the Impact Client Transport. This is done automatically in the installation. However, additional users should follow the steps below to add the Fax Service:
· Start Microsoft Outlook. In the Profile selection dialog box, select the profile you want to add fax mail to. If you use Microsoft Outlook with the same default profile all of the time, the profile selection dialog box will not appear.
· Select ‘Services’ under the ‘Tools’ menu item.
· The Services dialog box appears showing all of the services that have been added to your computer. Click on the add button. Please see the screen shot below:
· Select ‘Black Ice Fax Service’ and click OK. The following dialog box will appear and ask for the different parameters of the Transport Service. Please see the screen shot below:
Full Name: Your name as it will appear on the fax cover sheet.
To specify another name on the fax coverpage, enter it in the ‘From’ field of the Fax Form before sending.
Company: Your company name.
Fax number: Your fax number, where recipients can reply.

the Server: Impact Fax Server that is installed. For example: yourdomain.com or 127.0.0.1
Account Name: Your user ID to log onto the fax server.
Password: Your password to log onto the fax server.
The full name, company name and fax number parameters are optional, but they will appear on the cover page. As a result, it is recommended that they are filled out.
The internet fax server, account name and password parameters must be filled out. Without them, the client will not work.
The picture above shows the second sheet of the property dialog box. This sheet contains several different settings:
Font Information: The font that chosen here will be used to convert the contents of the mail to fax.
Transferring Messages: Specifies how messages are transferred. If ‘On-Line’ is chosen, the outgoing messages are transferred to the server automatically and received faxes are downloaded to the fax client.
When Off-Line is selected you can use the Exchange Client’s or Outlook’s ‘Remote Mail’ feature to mark the received faxes you want to download, copy or delete. While using Remote Mail, you can compose messages and send them to your Outbox at any time and send and receive messages when you connect to your mailbox.
Using Remote Mail is especially useful when you only connect to the server temporarily through a phone line, from a laptop computer for example.
Schedule: Here you can specify how frequently you wish to check if there are new faxes in your mailbox on the server. The amount of time should be in minutes.
The mailbox is checked when the transport operates On-Line. Please see the screen shot below:
Show destination number on fax: If this box is not checked, the destination fax number will not be printed on the coverpage and in the fax header of sent faxes. Please see the screen shot above.
Set Auto Profile: If this button is clicked, a little dialog box will open. In this dialog you can specify which profile should be used when Windows Messaging automatically starts after someone prints to the Impact Client printer.
If you leave this Profile field empty and press OK, the default profile will be used. Please see the screen sot above.
