Chapter 1: Introduction
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FaxFinder Client User Guide 6
Receiving Faxes To receive a fax from the FaxFinder system, you simply open the email message received from the
FaxFinder Administrator or forwarded from a party who serves as a “FaxFinder Attendant” for your
network. The way you receive fax emails (either directly from the Administrator or as forwarded from the
Attendant) depends on the kind of phone service you have (whether through a PBX or not and depending
also on PBX features). The fax email you receive will open either into the PDF viewer program, the Multi-
Tech Tiff Viewer, or another TIF-viewing program that you specify. You can then view the fax message,
print it, save it, forward it , etc., as needed. (Only TIF files can be forwarded; PDF files cannot be
forwarded through the FaxFinder system.)
These are the basics about FaxFinder. The FaxFinder Fax Client Software has many capabilities. This
manual describes them and shows examples of how they work. You will find sections on most common
operations in the table of contents. We also present detailed descriptions of each software screen.
The FaxFinder is really pretty easy to use. We hope you enjoy it. If you have problems, call our Tech
Support Department at 1-800-972-2439.
