Creating an Address Book in Windows (Fax Driver)
By using the address book, you can send a fax by simply specifying a recipient from it.
You can register the recipient's name, fax number and other information in the address book.
Registering a recipient (WAB contact) in the address book
You can register an individual recipient (Contact) in the address book.
-
Open the print settings dialog box of the fax driver.
-
Click Address Book... in the displayed dialog box.
Note
-
Once an individual recipient (Contact) is registered in the address book folder (Windows Contacts) as an address book file (.contact file), it can be used in multiple applications. However, you cannot change the address book you use, as only one address book can be created per user.
Follow the steps below to open Windows Contacts.

Windows 10:
Search for "Contacts" from the Search box.
-
Windows 8.1:
Select the Search charm, then search for "Contacts".

In the Address Book dialog box, click New....

Note
- For faxing, you can only specify the Contact (one recipient). You cannot specify a Distribution List.

On the Name and E-mail tab of the Properties dialog box, enter the First and Last names.
The recipient's name will be printed at the top of the fax received by the recipient.
-
Enter the fax number on the Home or Work tab, then click OK.
An individual recipient (Contact) is registered in the address book.
Note
-
You can also register a recipient by clicking the Add to Address Book... button on the Send Fax dialog box after entering the recipient.

Add the outside line access number before the fax number as needed.
(Example: When the outside line access number is "0" and the fax number is "XXX-XXXX", enter "0XXX-XXXX".)
