Introduction

PC Clients

Introduction

The Fax2Send PC Client for MS Windows is one of four clients which are available to use with Fax2Send server all of which are free of charge. The X-Windows and email client software are included in the server download and optionally installed by the Fax2Send Server Installation Wizard. They can also be added after server installation. The PC, Browser and Linux/Unix clients are seperately downloadable.

PC Client

A PC Client is available for Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME or a seperate client for Windows NT/2000. The functionality of both clients is identical. The PC client provides an 'explorer' style interface which will be familiar to all PC users who are immediately able to use it.

The PC Client:

  • Enables print to fax from any Windows application
  • Supports 'drag'n'drop' attachments of any Windows document
  • Provides similar functionality to the X-Windows interface
  • Additionally offers annotations to be made to any fax and any faxes to be onward routed by email
  • Includes an OCX so that Fax2Send can be called from within a PC program

Cover sheets may be individual to the user (stored on the PC) or centrally held on the server. Locally held sheets are edited using Microsoft's rich edit tools in Wordpad.

The PC Client supports fax mailshots with links to an ODBC data source such as Microsoft Access. It can also link to an ODBC data sourced Address Book.

Email Client

Fax2Send server now includes a delivery agent for Sendmail. Faxes may be sent from any email client on any networked machine providing the optional Fax2Send email gateway has been loaded. This is normally loaded by the Installation Wizard but can be loaded after the server has been installed. Faxes are sent by entering 'name@faxnumber.fax' into 'TO' field. The gateway only supports text faxes and at this time attachments are not supported. The Cover Sheet style can be edited and there is an option to omit the routing information from the transmission.

The Email Client:

  • Supports the BCC and CC fields
  • Reports by email on the progress of the fax transmission. The report can be either the final 'result' - whether the transmission was successful or not, or at each stage of the transmission.
  • Integrates with the Address Book of the current email client
