Main functions of “OfficeBridge” Sending / Receiving faxes and e-mails Using OfficeBridge, you not only can send a document from a PC application to a remote fax machine or e-mail location, but also read documents that have been routed to your PC. This process allows you to save time and reduce the paper con- sumption in your office.
Network scanning Network Scanning is a function that internally stores images read by the unit and reuses the images when prompted. Scanned documents can be sent as fax documents, posted to the bulletin board, or circulated etc. Also, if you use TWAIN-compliant application software, you can convert the images into picture files.
Bulletin board “OfficeBridge” has a “Bulletin Board Document” list. This document list is the area where any registered OfficeBridge users can view documents. You can add personal Inbox documents, scanned documents, etc. to the “Bulletin Board Document” list and notify all users of the contents. Also, a bulletin board viewing period can be set.
Circulation “OfficeBridge” has a “Circulation Document” list. This document list is used to distribute information to both individual users and group members simultaneously. You can add personal Inbox documents, scanned documents, etc. to the “Circulation Document” list and notify users of the contents. Both the originator and recipients can check the read status of each document.
Request processing “OfficeBridge” has a “Request Processing Document” list. This document list allows users to request document processing to other users. The processor can notify the originator of its status and completion. If the processor cannot process the document, she/he can forward the document to another user for processing.
Network printing “OfficeBridge” allows the machine to be used as a network printer. By selecting the dedicated “Muratec OfficeBridge print driver”, you can use the machine to print high-resolution documents. “Network printing” for more information. PHO NE1 PHO NE2 LIN E...
OfficeBridge InfoMonitor “OfficeBridge InfoMonitor” is an application software that notifies users of new “OfficeBridge” arriving documents, the results of fax and e-mail transmissions or other events on the “OfficeBridge”. If this application is running, those events are announced with a pop-up message display and flashing task tray icon.
For example, if you attach a TIFF file converted by TIFFMaker to the Muratec Internet Fax via e-mail, you can use the Muratec Internet Fax machine as a PC printer. Also, by using the e-mail forwarding feature on the Muratec Internet Fax machine, you can send your electronic document to a remote fax machine without printing.
