Testimonial from a satisfied customer:
I work away from the office a lot. I can access email but not fax. I have orders which are faxed to me. ElectraSoft's fax software forwards these faxes to my email account where I can access them as PDF or TIF files. PDF is Portable Document Format (PDF) and can be read with Adobe Reader and many other Windows software applications. TIF is Tagged Image File Format (TIFF or TIF) and can be read with most Windows software applications.

• FaxAmatic will send and receive fax with single computer and modem or network with multiple modems.
• Install FaxAmatic on your computer and it will use your modem(s) to send and receive faxes, in the background, as you work on other projects.
• Single Computer and One Modem Support: The first screen of the install has two options. [Single Computer, Beginners, Quick and Easy] and [Multiple Modems, Multiple Workstations, Custom Step by Step]. You want to select the [Single Computer, Beginners, Quick and Easy] option.
• Network Support: When installing, you will want to select the [Multiple Modems, Multiple Workstations, Custom Step by Step] option. Now you can assign any one of your many workstations to be the fax server. Once established all the workstations on the Network running FaxAmatic can send faxes from their own computer, with the same ease and reliability that FaxAmatic has become famous for. Then, and here's the good part, the person who is using the workstation that has been designated the fax server can let it run in the background, while he or she goes about business as usual. No need for a dedicated fax server. You just need a Workstation with at least one fax modem.
• FaxAmatic does everything the current ElectraSoft fax program does and then some. It will send and receive fax with single computer and modem or network with multiple modems. FaxAmatic will add a fax generating print driver to your system, giving you the ability to generate a fax from any document and send to any and all fax machines in the world. This means that if you are sending a fax to a group of people, you can send four times faster. Compared to the other ElectraSoft fax programs, FaxAmatic has a new interface with a little different look and feel. You can configure FaxAmatic to not interfere with the functionality of your modem while FaxAmatic is running. You can import your FaxBooks from any other ElectraSoft fax program into FaxAmatic.
• If you are using our fax software with 1 modem, we recommend fax modems made by ZyXel. Go to ZyXel for a good fax modem.
• If you want to send faxes out on more than one phone line at a time, you can do that now with our new fax program, FaxAmatic! With FaxAmatic, you can take advantage of using more than one modem at a time, on one computer. You can either have up to 4 modems on one computer or you can get a 4-in-one modem card, that can support 4 phone lines. Here are a couple of sites that have 4 port/line modems available. Mainpine and Perle If you use one of these modems, please share your experience with us.

In just a few minutes from now, you can write a send fax program that takes advantage of our powerful Fax API.

If you want to write a fax program using our [Fax API] with one of our fax programs, and want more help than what is included in this manual, you can buy our [Extended Fax API]. The [Extended Fax API] includes many easy to use functions and sophisticated source-code. Just call Jon Krahmer at 281-499-8246, or email him at eMail Jon Krahmer or eMail ElectraSoft and you will receive the [Extended Fax API] kit and personalized tech-support for only $499.99.

There are two methods to use this API...

Method 1, the simplest method: Read Item 12 - Faxing, [Convert/Forward Document to Fax and Send...]

    You will need to create a comma delimited file called:
    ?:\faxmatic\data\DocToFax.del
    Where the ? is the drive that you installed FaxAmatic on. The DocToFax.del
    file can have as many lines in it as you want. One for each recipient.
    Code example:
    LOOP:
    o CREATE the ?:\faxmatic\data\DocToFax.del file
    o Copy document into ?:\faxmatic\data\DocToFax
    o WAIT until FaxAmatic deletes document from
    ?:\faxmatic\data\DocToFax
    o If done EXIT else back to LOOP
    EXIT:
    

Method 2:

    You will need to create a comma delimited file called:
    ?:\faxmatic\tmpfiles\send2fax.del
    Where the ? is the drive that you installed FaxAmatic on. The send2fax.del
    file can have as many lines in it as you want. One for each recipient.
    DocToFax.del and send2fax.del Format:
    3, 5 or 6 field comma delimited file with the following format:
    "Y/N(header at top of fax)","Recipient","FaxNumber"
    or:
    "Y/N(header at top of fax)","Recipient","FaxNumber","Scheduled Date",
    "Scheduled Time"
    or:
    "Y/N(header at top of fax)","Recipient","FaxNumber","Scheduled Date",
    "Scheduled Time","Subject","Fax From Name"
    HeaderYN:
    A 1 character field consisting of either Y or N
    Recipient:
    A 31 character field consisting of the Recipient
    FaxNumber:
    A 46 character field consisting of a Fax Number
    The next 2 fields are optional...
    Scheduled Date:
    A 10 character field consisting of the day to send the Fax
    Scheduled Time:
    A 10 character field consisting of the time to send the Fax
    Example:
    "Y","Jon Krahmer","1-281-499-5939"
    or:
    "Y","Jon Krahmer","1-281-499-5939","07-15-2002","10:30:00am"
    or:
    "Y","Jon Krahmer","1-281-499-5939","07-15-2001","10:30:00am","Subject","Fax From Name"
    FaxAmatic must be running in the background. The
    ?:\faxmatic\tmpfiles\send2fax.del file must be create in the FaxAmatic
    directory. Print to the ElectraSoft Print to Fax. The ElectraSoft Print to
    Fax will create a ?:\esfax\fax file. FaxAmatic will see this file, convert
    it to a fax and call the Send Fax box. The Send Fax will see the
    ?:\faxmatic\tmpfiles\send2fax.del file and instead of it's normal routine,
    it will work invisibly to send the fax as per the
    ?:\faxmatic\tmpfiles\send2fax.del file and then delete
    ?:\faxmatic\tmpfiles\send2fax.del. The next time you load the Send Fax box,
    it will work as normal.
    Code example:
    LOOP:
    o CREATE the send2fax.del file
    o PRINT document to: ElectraSoft Print to Fax
    o WAIT until FaxAmatic deletes send2fax.del
    o If done EXIT else back to LOOP
