Features
One of the drawbacks with many applications is the need to install a client on every user's desktop. This can cost your company in both time and money to rollout the solution and there is then the ongoing support cost of maintaining the installation. P3fax uses any client software. The user interface can be accessed through the web browser already installed on the user's computer. User's can also send and receive faxes through their e-mail application, therefore your staff need no additional training.
P3fax is a true multi-user system. Each user has an account and can send and receive faxes and e-mails. User accounts have their own inbox, outbox and sent items folders. The integration with the user's existing e-mail application also means that faxes can be automatically retrieved to their e-mail account. The number of users can easily be added as your requirements grow.
P3fax supports many different fax devices. The basic type are Class 1 and Class 2 faxmodems. These are typically single channel (i.e. one phone line) and can be connected to the fax server via a USB, serial or parallel cable. P3fax supports the connection of multiple faxmodems to the server, either directly or attached to other computers on the network. Many MFPs or network connected office printer/copiers also have fax functionality. P3fax supports many of these devices. ISDN (CAPI 2.0) support is also available. With this type of device P3fax takes advantage of the multiple lines and higher speeds of the ISDN system. Any combination of these types of fax device can be added to P3fax, giving a total number of channels that can be used to send and receive faxes.
A component of P3fax is a Windows printer allowing you to send a fax from any Windows application that supports printing. The P3fax printer is a network printer that can be accessed by any user, from the P3fax server. A document printed using the P3fax network printer can be automatically sent as a fax.
P3fax allows you to enter fax and e-mail addresses into a central Address Book. This Address Book is compatible with LDAP so you can access it from your e-mail application too. Users who only use their e-mail application to send and receive faxes via P3fax can also use their Personal Address Book to store fax and e-mail addresses.
There is a simple way to add additional commands and functionality to a document that needs to be faxed. Embedded commands are stored within the document and are processed by the P3fax printer at the time the fax is created. These commands are great with mail merge type documents where whole fax shots need to be managed. P3fax also allows you to store the embedded commands in an external file so that you can make use of them even if the document you need to send cannot store them directly. For example, you can store embedded commands in a Microsoft Word document, but not in a Adobe PDF file. With this new feature you can now apply embedded commands to the PDF by using the external file option.
