From Support
Windows PC Setup for Faxing with Fax400 The following steps can be used to fax documents from a Windows PC using the Fax/400 software and the associated AFP printer drivers that are installed with Client Access Express.
1.) On your PC, install Client Access/400 Express Edition and make sure to select the AFP printer drivers when installing Client Access/400 on your PC.
The following Windows directory should contain the AFP printer drivers after installation: C:\program files\ibm\Client Access\CWBAFP
The above directory name will be needed when creating a new local Windows printer to use when faxing.
2.) For initial setup of the Fax/400 printer share, start the Client Access Operations Navigator program and navigate to "Basic Operations". Expand "Basic Operations" and right-click on the Fax/400 printer queue named QFQFS4PRTD. Then click the OK button to create the Windows printer share named: QFQFS4PRTD.
3.) In order to use the Fax/400 shared printer, you have to make sure that the NetServer service is running on the iSeries. If it's not, use the following command to start it up on V5R1 and above: STRTCPSVR SERVER(*NETSVR)
4.) Create a new printer on your Windows PC by selecting Start/Settings/Printers and Faxes and then clicking the Add a Printer option. These steps are for Windows XP. Windows 2000 should be similar.
On the Local or Network Printer setting, select Network Printer. Click the Connect to this printer option and type the UNC path to the Fax/400 printer queue on the AS/400 or iSeries system. Example: \\1.1.1.1\QFQFS4PRTD connects to Fax/400 on an AS/400-iSeries system with IP address of 1.1.1.1
Click Next. If you receive the message "The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed", click OK.
When the printer list pops up, select Have Disk. Type the following in the Copy manufacturer's files from dialog: C:\program files\ibm\Client Access\CWBAFP Click OK and you will see a list of IBM AFP printer drivers. Select IBM AFP Facsimile Support/400 and click OK.

Troubleshooting Sending Faxes 1.) If you are not able to fax from a Windows PC, you need to insure that your AS/400 - iSeries user ID's and passwords match the user ID's and passwords of each Windows user. This is a Windows security limitation.
To test if you have adequate Windows security access to the Fax/400 printer on the iSeries, go to your Windows PC and select Start/Run and type \\1.1.1.1 and click OK. (Substitute your AS/400 IP address where we used 1.1.1.1)
If a Windows Explorer window pops up and you see fax queue QFQFS4PRTD in the Explorer window, you should be ready to fax. If you receive a user ID and password pop-up dialog, you may need to enter your iSeries user ID and password to connect to the Windows share. After you enter your user ID and password, you should see the QFQFS4PRTD fax queue in the Explorer window.
