FaxWare 5

UTILITIES INCLUDED AS STANDARD

Many utilities are included as standard with FaxWare 5. These utilities are not necessarily required to send and receive faxes. However, in some cases they provide very useful functions.áá

Tobit supports HP Network ScanJet 5á
A driver for the Network ScanJet 5 from Hewlett Packard is included as standard with FaxWare 5. By combining these two products, users can scan documents and send them to a user on the LAN, directly to the TAS, or from the scanner to any fax machine in the world. The user just has to key in the fax number directly into the scanner's front panel. As the scanner connects directly to a network server running FaxWare 5, it acts as network input device for documents which aren't available in electronic format for network distribution internally and externally.áá

Evaluation of the send and receive logsá
In addition to the export function of the Windows Frontend, a further tool is available to evaluate the FaxWare logs. The REPORTER.EXE program runs under DOS and provides extensive evaluation possibilities. By means of easily configurable initialization files (ASCII files) the logs can be analyzed according to user, cost, period of time, transmission status, line, etc. The results can be sent to a printer, to a file, or just displayed on the screen. This way, nothing within FaxWare is hidden.áá

Print server for Windowsá
Sometimes not all faxes need to be printed centrally through the server. For example, with the Windows DVPRINT.EXE program you can print fax files locally. This program runs on any client on the network. Depending on the configuration, it automatically prints out all fax files sent and received to your local printer.áá

Interface for software developersá
The Windows FAPIDDE.EXE utility can be used to establish a connection to the FaxWare API interface (FAPI) by means of general DDE commands. Therefore, programs which aren't able to establish a connection to the DLL interface can transport data to the FaxWare server over ╗DDE message calls½ or retrieve information.áá

Faxing with an HP PCL printer driverá
The PCL Conversion Server runs as an NLM on the FaxWare server and allows DOS users to fax from applications using an HP PCL compatible printer driver. In the FaxWare configuration you only have to set the data format of the fax service (FileScan or Queue Services) to allow for the conversion of HP PCL jobs. These fax jobs will be automatically forwarded to the PCL Conversion Server, converted and passed back to FaxWare. The user continues to fax as normal but in DOS applications they will have a lot more design possibilities e.g. scaleable fonts.á
