Chapter 5 – FaxFinder Client
Software Operation
Introduction
This chapter describes the things that a client user can do with the FaxFinder system. Three software
programs are involved: the FaxFinder Client Software, the Multi-Tech Tiff Viewer (or designated PDF
viewer), and the Multi-Tech Cover Page Generator. The programs work together with the FaxFinder
Client Software acting as the hub of activity. The FaxFinder Client Software interfaces with the FaxFinder
Server, has a user interface, and calls upon the Cover Page Generator and viewer program for their
special functions. When sending faxes, the FaxFinder Client Software calls up the Multi-Tech Cover
Page generator if cover pages are requested. When previewing outgoing faxes, the PC's operating
system calls up the designated TIFF viewer to display the outgoing fax. When viewing received faxes,
the PC's operating system calls up the appropriate viewer (PDF or TIFF). The choice of file types (PDF
or TIFF) is made in the FaxFinder Server software. Note that client users can choose to display either on
the Multi-Tech TIFF viewer or on a different (non-Multi-Tech) TIFF viewing program. Likewise, if the
FaxFinder system distributes incoming faxes as PDF files, the client can designate which PDF viewer to
use.
