Bert,
I am glad you asked this question. I will try to answer it as clear and simple as I can. When I started to use AC,I decided to go baby steps. Using the basic function mainly to generate my encouter notes and to printed, save it to patient chart or fax it to the PCP or hospital as H&P. Then I started to fax my note directly to the refering Drs. immediatly as I signed my note( using my brother machine) and I was pleased with that . I felt it is very efficient way for comunication, save time , paper and so forth.
Seeing Leslie talking highly about paperport, brought my attention for organinzing office documents, and forms. Considering I have already A brother MFC 8460 N I remembered that it has a build in paperport softwere.Which I never used before. I thought why not using Leslie way to improve office workflow and effeciency.
This is why I got interested to set up the Brother machine to send all fax and scan to PC and specificaly to paperport to organise the work. However, I am faced with the problem that I can not setup the machine to sent fax and scanned documents to paperport. This is the first problem i have know.I am trying to fix.
The other issue, again provoked by Leslie experience not only that paperport 9 is better than paperort 11 & 12 ,but also, paperport 9 works better with windows XP. Again that brought my attetion to a Pc I have in the office (originally used at the front desk) that is XP and already has Brother machine installed. This machine originally worked fine with AC at the front desk. One day We were not able to connect to the main PC ragarding AC. So , I exchaged that PC with another one , with Windows 7 at the front desk and no problem with it, except receiving faxes and documents to paperport. Therefore, I am trying to Re-establish AC connection on the XP machine(wich has paperport 9)to the main PC(as client) to reuse it at the front desk.
To summarize. I need to fix XP machine to connect to the main PC to use it at the front desk since it has the paperport 9 already installed on it with benefit of having AC on it connected to main PC.
I am not sure if that all make sense. Leslie made feel I have valuable machine I need to hang on it. Also, I am not sure that paperport 9 able to connect to windows 7, since I am having trouble with that. I went to brother.com support and printed some instructions to creat a new address for brother printer to send fax and scanned doc.to PC. I will try it tomorrow.
Bert, I really appreciate, your trying to help me. I think I need to use all resources I have before I try to buy anything new.
This is what I need to accomplish. Finnally it is becoming a challange to fix this problem like trying to fix your old car, You get more experience with networking as you said.
