Chapter 1 – Introduction 
The FaxFinder Fax Client Software lets you deal with faxes in a new and convenient way.  You can now 
send faxes simply by printing files from application programs (word processors, graphics programs, 
Notepad – essentially any program that can print).  You receive fax messages as graphics file 
attachments to email messages from the FaxFinder Administrator or Attendant.  You will view these 
graphics files (PDF or TIF) using either a PDF viewer or a TIFF viewer.  The PDF viewer could be any 
commercial viewer or any open source PDF viewer.  The FaxFinder is shipped with the Multi-Tech Tiff 
Viewer
 as part of the suite of FaxFinder client software.  Other TIFF viewers are available from many 
different sources. 
This arrangement lets you send and receive faxes at your own desk and deal with them entirely 
electronically if you so choose. 
Accessing the FaxFinder Client Software 
After the FaxFinder Fax Client Software has been installed, it will be on whenever your computer is 
running, unless you specifically turn it off.  An icon for the FaxFinder Fax Client Software will appear in 
the ‘tray’ area in the lower right corner of your computer screen.   
 
You must click on this icon and select “show FaxFinder Client Software” to make the program’s main 
screen visible.  You can also start the FaxFinder client software from the Start | Programs menu.

However, you can send and receive faxes without viewing the main screen.
