|
The network Fax solution for Macintosh and Windows.
Version 7 includes full OS X (10.3/10.4/10.5) compatibility, as well as MacOS 9.2 support.
Version 7 release delivers significant performance improvements: It launches five-times faster and queues fax broadcasts from ten-times faster (for 1,000-plus broadcasts) to one-hundred-times faster (for large 5,000-plus broadcasts) than before. Documents can now be attached to faxes and viewed from faxes in half the time compared to the Version 5.x client. |

| overview |
Email Suite: Allows faxes to be forwarded to any email address in PDF format. You can check faxes while traveling or when working away from the computer where the 4-Sight Fax client resides. 4-Sight Fax v7.0, with the Email Suite, allows for faxes to be sent to a recipient’s fax number, email address, or both simultaneously.
Windows Clients: 4-Sight Faxis also compatible with Microsoft Windows, providing even more network coverage. Mixed-platform environments can use 4-Sight Fax simultaneously without having to switch faxing applications, making this the only fax solution you'll have to buy.
Apple Address Book Support: With support for Apple’s OS X address book, users will be able to integrate contacts fax numbers and e-mail addresses from 3 distinct sources: their local 4-Sight Fax address book, their local Apple Address book and the server's centralized and newly expanded address book.
Expanded Address Book: 4-Sight Fax has enhanced its personal address book with more room for client names, numbers, address groups and fax lists by expanding the server address book for 20 fields. Previously, under version 5, the Fax Server address book had a maximum capacity of 4 fields. And as always, a server-based address book is available and can be easily configured to hold frequently used numbers. This is an outstanding feature for businesses that want to send fax blasts to several thousand customers quickly.
Automatic end user fax notification: Even when the program is closed, users can receive fax notification and immediately open and review new faxes within seconds. The same feature allows for convenient automated program update notification and installation.
Cover page editor: The cover page editor includes a more intuitive interface and provides greater flexibility allowing users to drag and drop multiple instances of any merge field.
Caller ID capability with logging and Block List fax blocking for Junk Fax: Caller ID capabilities are built into 4-Sight Fax and integrated within the fax log. Furthermore, Caller ID provides the capability to create black lists and block repetitive unwanted junk faxes. To use this feature, the modem and phone hardware system must both support Caller ID.
Automated Line-Based Routing: Users can automatically route incoming faxes to specific users or groups of users based on the fax line on which the fax is received. This enhancement provides a cost-effective solution for companies supporting multiple departments with one fax server. It's also valuable for companies that want to assign individual fax lines to employees.
User Configurable: Users can now alternate port number preferences for the fax server. When sending faxes using multiple fax lines, users can specify the outgoing fax line any fax will be sent on, providing improved workflow and accounting.
Mac OS X compatibility: The 4-Sight Fax client is fully compatible with Mac OS X and 9. This makes 4-Sight FAX the most advanced network faxing application available today.
TCP/IP Compatible: 4-Sight Fax supports TCP/IP so all supported Mac or Windows systems can access the fax server via the Internet. This means you’ll be able to send and receive faxes quickly and economically worldwide.
Worldwide Access to Fax Server: The fax server is as close as the nearest Internet connection. The fax client can connect to the fax server using a TCP/IP connection from anywhere in the world. 4-Sight’s robust client interface also allows offline access to faxes by providing local folders.
Client-side Imaging: Client users can see that an outgoing fax renders images exactly the way it was designed. Files are imaged on the client instead of the server, so fonts, logos and graphics are received the way they were intended to be.
Increased Queue and Address Book Size handling: The client can manage fax queues or address books exceeding 10,000 records. 4-Sight Fax supports fast loading and sorting of extra-large fax queues and address books. |
