fax printer (defined)
fax printer

A fax printer is the software interface between the operating system and the fax device. The printer defines where the document will go before it reaches the fax device (to a local port, to a file, or to a  remote print share), when it will go, and various other aspects of the printing process. When you add a fax printer, Microsoft Fax Server installs the required print drivers on your computer, just as print drivers are installed when you add any other printer. After you add a fax printer, it appears in the Printer list when you print a document and in the Printers folder in My Computer.
