1 Introduction
This manual describes the PC software applications that are distributed with
the Vidicode Fax Servers (Blue Line product range). The applications are
meant for the individual users in the computer network with the Fax Server.
Fax Servers are stand-alone network fax machines. There are several types
of Fax Servers varying in number of fax channels (1 to 16) and for different
telephone line protocols (analog, ISDN S0, ISDN E1 and T1). All models
cooperate with the PC software as described in this manual.
A Fax Server can be shared with other users just as a network printer. All
users on the network can use it to send a fax from their PC and to receive
faxes.
The Fax Servers distribute received faxes via E-mail. The connection
between the Fax Server and your mail server is explained in the hardware
manual of the Fax Server and is outside the scope of this manual.
The applications described in this manual are:
• SendFax, used to send faxes from your PC.
• Fax Server Access System, used to search the archive of all sent
and received faxes on your PC
1.1 SendFax
The SendFax application allows you to send a fax from virtually every PC
application with a print option. With the installation of the SendFax a printer
is added to the computer's list of printers. Use the print-command in your
application to transfer the document to the SendFax application by printing to
the Fax Server printer. The SendFax application will now start up
automatically. In the SendFax application one or more recipients can be
chosen from an address book. New entries to the address book can easily
be made. The SendFax has a preview function that allows you to have a last
look at the fax before sending it off. When SendFax is clicked the fax is
uploaded to the Fax Server that will automatically take care of the fax
transmission. After fax transmission the Fax Server can report the
transmission result back to the User of the SendFax through E-mail.
SendFax can create Attachments that can be appended to a fax.
Attachments can be saved and used again or deleted after sending. Use the
SendFax Attachment printer to create an attachment.
