4. In the FaxFinder Send Fax screen, specify a recipient for the fax. The recipient could either come

Finally, you would click Send Fax. The TIF file will be reconverted into a fax message that can be

Receiving a Fax
The FaxFinder Server delivers incoming faxes to client PCs in their email inboxes.
Since faxes received through the FaxFinder are transformed into email attachments, they can be directed
anywhere email goes. The final recipient can be inside the office or across the ocean.
Fax reception works differently when the FaxFinder is operating in
Automated Routing Mode than in
Manual Routing Mode. In Automated Routing Mode, faxes come directly to client/users; in Manual
Routing Mode, all faxes come to an attendant who forwards them to the intended recipient.
Receiving Faxes in Manual Routing Mode
In Manual Routing Mode, all faxes are emailed to an attendant using a single fax number.
1. The incoming fax arrives in the attendant’s email inbox as a message with an attachment.
2. The attendant uses email to forward the message to the appropriate recipient. Recipients could be on
the local Ethernet network or outside of it.
3. The recipient 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.
