Multi-Tech FaxFinder Client Operation Primer

Introduction

This guide shows you how to send and receive faxes with your Multi-Tech FaxFinder
Your FaxFinder is a complete, economical, easy-to-use network fax server. It allows you to receive faxes as emails
and send faxes from any application that can print.

Sending a Fax

To send a fax by printing from an application program on a client PC, follow the steps listed below.
1. The client PC and the FaxFinder server must both be connected to the same Ethernet LAN system. (See the
section "Part B: Configuring the FaxFinder Server" in Chapter 3 of the Administrator User Guide.)
2. The FaxFinder client software must be installed on the PC. (See the section "Installing FaxFinder Client
Software" in Chapter 2 of the Client User Guide or Chapter 5 of the Administrator User Guide.)
First-Time Use Only. When the FaxFinder client software is run for the first time (immediately after software
installation), you, as a new client-user, will be prompted to enter your own User-ID information in the Options |
Identification screen. At a minimum, you must fill in the "Name" and "Fax Number" fields. You will not be able
to access or use the FaxFinder client until this step has been done.
3. The association must be made between the client PC and the FaxFinder Server. (See the section "Associating
Client with Specific FaxFinder Unit(s)" in Chapter 2 of the Client User Guide or Chapter 5 of the Administrator
User Guide.)
This, too, is essentially a one-time event. (That is, you do not need to do this each time you use the
FaxFinder.) However, the association would have to be revised if the FaxFinder's IP address changed. And it
is possible for the client to be associated with more than one FaxFinder unit.
4. After installation, the FaxFinder Fax Client Software program will be running whenever the PC is on. You can
view the FaxFinder program's main window by clicking on the FaxFinder icon at the lower right of the PC's
monitor screen in its Application Tray. Then select "Show FaxFinder Client Software." (Note: The user can shut
down the FaxFinder program by selecting "exit" either from the tray icon or from the main FaxFinder program
screen. If the program has been shut down, it can be restarted from the Windows Start menu.)
