Sending faxes from SAP

Some guidelines how to you can setup faxing from SAP :-

You will need an additional software to be installed.

The best way to do this is to get a standard desktop PC with a modem attached. Buy a
copy of Winfax 10 (its only about $100 to buy.)

When you have Winfax setup and working locally, install SAPLPD (put it in the startup group so its loads on startup).

WinFax will create a shared fax on the PC (For e.g. IFAX).

When this is done create a printer/Fax in transaction SPAD.

Device type = SAPWIN Rel.4.x/SAPlpd
Device class = Fax
Host Spool access method = S;print using SAP protocol
Dest. host = PC IP address
Host printer = Shared fax name on PC(i.e IFAX)

Make sure you have all the lasted SAPLPD + dll's

After that is done create the locations in transaction SCOM, they are self explainitory from there.
