Chapter 5 – FaxFinder-IP Operation

Introduction

This chapter describes the things that a user can do with the FF240-IP system. The software programs involved are the FF240-IP Client Software and the Multi-Tech Tiff Viewer (or designated PDF viewer). The FF240-IP Client Software interfaces with the FF240-IP Server and has its own user interface. When previewing outgoing faxes, the PC’s operating system calls up the designated TIFF viewer to display the outgoing fax. When viewing received faxes, the PC’s operating system calls up the appropriate viewer (PDF or TIFF). The choice of file types (PDF or TIFF) is made in the FF240-IP Server software. Note that client users can choose to display either on the Multi-Tech TIFF viewer or on a different (non-Multi- Tech) TIFF viewing program. Likewise, if the FF240-IP system distributes incoming faxes as PDF files, the client can designate which PDF viewer to use. The Multi-Tech TIFF viewer is installed automatically with the FF240-IP Client software.
