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 TIFF files. These TIFF files
are automatically associated with the chosen TIFF viewer program. The client can open the fax email
attachment directly in the TIFF viewer program.
b. Saving the fax message graphic file. In some TIFF viewer programs, the client can do a ‘Save
As,’ renaming the TIFF file attachment with a meaningful name for subsequent viewing or forwarding.
7. The client views the fax message in the TIFF viewer program.
Receiving Faxes in PBX Routing Mode
In PBX 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 TIFF file. The TIFF file is
attached to an email message that is sent to the intended recipient’s email address (as specified in
the FaxFinder Phone Book).
4. The incoming fax arrives in the recipient’s email inbox as a message with an attachment.
The email message is marked as being from the FaxFinder Administrator.
The sender’s “Remote ID” and the recipient’s name appear in the “Subject” line of the email
message. (The Remote ID comes from the sending fax machine and is typically the sender’s fax
number or name.)
