Chapter 5: FaxFinder-IP Operation

Send Fax by Web API

If your administrator has created a custom API (Application Programming Interface) for you to use, that is another option available for sending faxes through the FF240-IP. This will be unique for your company, so you should look for information from your Administrator or IT department.

Using the Client Software

This section will detail all of the commands, tabs and screens that the Client Software offers. While not every user will need all of the options available, you may want to glance through what is here for something that will prove useful to you. The Schedule Fax window is the primary means of sending a fax through the software and populating the contact list can save time by having those contacts readily available when a fax needs to be sent.

File Menu Command Descriptions

The following options are available from the File menu.

File menu Commands

New Fax: Clicking this command will bring up the ‘Schedule Fax’ window of the default FF240-IP unit, where a user can enter the needed information and schedule a fax to be sent by the active FF240-IP unit.
