GFI Software Fax Machine 12 Manual De Usuario

• 7 

The GFI FAXmaker fax server receives the faxes via SMTP and using 
a sink captures the fax and converts it to fax format and faxes it out. 
The same principle is applied to SMS messages. Delivery reports and 
inbound faxes will be forwarded to the user’s email address at the ISP 
mail server. Because of the small size of faxes files and relatively 
small amount of email traffic created by GFI FAXmaker, this will not 
pose a significant overhead on your internet link. 

All faxes sent by users from the FAXmaker client will be sent to the 
SMTP format 

. The FAXmaker client will know 

the name of the fax server machine and submit the fax directly to the 
GFI FAXmaker server. The user can not send a fax from his e-mail 
client. 

The user can send a fax in the following ways: 

 

1.  Create or open a document in any Windows application and print it 

to the ’GFI FAXmaker printer’. This will convert the document to 
fax format and activate the GFI FAXmaker Fax Message form in 
which a fax number and other options can be specified  

2.  Send directly from the GFI FAXmaker Fax Message form from the 

GFI FAXmaker program group. 

3.  Open their e-mail client, create a new message, enter the text to 

send, add attachments if needed and address the fax to 

, or if the user is on Exchange Server, 

select the recipient from the Microsoft Outlook Contacts. 

4.  From any Microsoft Office application, Use the Send To command, 

which can be found in the file menu. This will attach the document 
created to a new mail message after which the fax can be sent as 
per option 3.
