- exclusively for Relisys. The software package consists of two parts: a
- Windows application and a printer driver. The Windows Application enables
- users to view faxes from the transmit and receive queues at any time.
- Incoming faxes can be automatically routed to a laser or dot matrix
- printer to produce plain-paper fax copies, or to the Tefax thermal
- printer.
-

- faxed images, store the images as fax files and/or convert the images to

- image and rotate a received fax image that has been transmitted
- horizontally. Manipulated images can also be saved and retrieved as
- graphics or fax formatted files.
-
- The application also includes scheduling and phone book functions. The
- scheduling function maintains a list of documents waiting to be faxed,
- transparently monitors received faxes, automatically sends unsent pages
- and redials if the transmission has failed. The phone book data file has a
- capacity of thousands of individual entries and supports hierarchical
- groups of entries which can be built containing any or all of the
- individual entries. Documents can be automatically transmitted to multiple
- groups and destinations at programmed times.

- The AutoFax for Window 3.0 Printer Driver appears to all Windows
- applications (PageMaker, Excel, Designer as a standard Windows printer
- device. It supports standard Windows fonts and includes a driver for
- Bitstream's FontWare, allowing users to generate fonts for both standard
- and fine fax resolutions for use with AutoFax. The driver supports both
- standard (200 x 100dpi) and fine (200 x 200dpi) resolutions in both
- portrait and landscape output orientations. The printer driver can also
- automatically send cover messages, headers and footers with each fax
- transmission.
