Chapter 3: FaxFinder Client Software Operation
5. The FaxFinder client opens the email message. The incoming fax message takes the form of a
graphic file attachment. The FaxFinder Server has assigned the file an automatic file name.
6. The FaxFinder client can open the file or save the file.
a.
Opening the fax message graphic file
. Incoming fax messages are PDF or TIFF files. These
graphics files are automatically associated with a PDF or TIFF viewer program that has already been
chosen. The client can open the fax email attachment directly in the viewer program.
b.
Saving the fax message graphic file
. In some viewer programs, the client can do a ‘Save As,’
renaming the graphic file attachment with a meaningful name for subsequent viewing or for
forwarding (applicable to TIFF files only).
7. The client views the fax message in the (PDF or TIFF) viewer program.
Receiving Faxes in Automated Routing Mode
In
Automated Routing Mode
, the FaxFinder Server delivers incoming faxes to client PCs in their email
inboxes.
1. A PBX extension number must be assigned to the client PC at the FaxFinder Server.
2. For fax reception, the client PC and the FaxFinder server
need not
both be connected to the same
Ethernet LAN system. (A sales representative, for example, could receive faxes sent to her home
office fax number even though she is traveling overseas, if she uses an Internet email account.)
3. A fax document is sent to the PBX extension number of a client/recipient on the FaxFinder system.
The fax call is routed to the FaxFinder server and there converted to a PDF or TIFF graphic file. The
graphic file is attached to an email message that is sent to the intended recipient’s email address (as
specified in the FaxFinder Phone Book).
