- Tefax thermal printer.

- image and rotate a received fax image that has been transmitted

- scheduling function maintains a list of documents waiting to be faxed,

- 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 time.
