The GFI FAXmaker API's 
Introduction to the GFI FAXmaker API's 
GFI FAXmaker allows you to submit faxes automatically to the queue 
from your application via these methods:  
1. The Netprintqueue2FAX feature 
2. The Text API 
NetPrintQueue2FAX 
The Netprintqueue2FAX feature allows you to embed the fax number 
in the document to fax. This way, you can print to fax from almost any 
application, from anywhere in the network, without having to enter the 
fax number separately in the GFI FAXmaker fax form or Outlook.  
This feature is especially handy for accounting applications – simply 
by embedding the fax number in the document, for example an 
invoice, a fax can be sent. No application integration or development 
is required. For more information on this API, please see the 
NetPrintQueue2FAX chapter. 
GFI FAXmaker Text API 
The Text API allows you to send out text files automatically by 
submitting a text file with fax options into a directory. 
Text API 
Before you start using the Text API, you must first configure the Text 
API in the FAX Server Configuration. To do this; 
1. Go to the GFI FAXmaker Configuration > Advanced > Text API 
node, right-click and select properties. This brings up the Text API 
properties dialog.
