Track fax job (GUI mode) - Microsoft Fax

Parent Previous Next

When starting the SendFaxMS.exe utility in GUI mode with /Track command line option, the fax track window is displayed. The fax track window is similar to the Fax Monitor included in the Windows Fax and Scan software, but it allows you to track the specific outgoing fax job you just created. You can not only monitor the fax, but also manage your fax and view fax properties. The /Track option is ignored when sending a fax to multiple recipients. You also can track previously created fax by using /JobID= command line option.
