Outlook you should see "Internet Mail Only" if you have
the Internet Mail Only option installed.
Symptoms
If you are using the WinFax Starter Edition (WSE) installed with
Microsoft Outlook Internet Mail Only (IMO), you may receive the
following series of error messages when sending a fax:
Automatic Printing of the file has failed. You will need to activate
the printing manually. When the print is complete you will have
to exit the application.
Unknown Error occurred when trying to convert document into fax
image.
Following these messages you may receive a "Turning document
into fax format" dialog box with the Cancel button unavailable.
After the dialog box closes, the fax service may place a non-delivery

Cause
This error occurs if you included a graphic in the body of the

with it that has printing capabilities.
