VSI-FAX Outlook Client
VSI-FAX Windows Client now supports Outlook 2007.
New Fax on Demand device for failover
VSI-FAX 6.1 now comes with two different devices to send faxes via Fax on Demand:
FoDC is the main Fax on Demand device that already existed in the previous version,
FoDC2 is a new backup Fax on Demand device used when the FoDC fails to send the faxes.
If FoDC fails because the main Fax on Demand server (by default, the server located in the US) is unreachable, VSI-
FAX automatically redirects the fax queue to FoDC2 that points to a different Fax on Demand server (by default, the
server located in Europe).
For more information, refer to Managing failover with the Fax on Demand Connector
(page 57).
New version of JetPCL
VSI-FAX 6.1 includes version 9.51 of the JetPCL converter from Tech Know Systems.
The PCLTOTIF formatter, which uses JetPCL to convert standard text, PCL 5e, PCL 6 into TIFF, has been rebuilt
with the new version of JetPCL. It provides various bug fixes and better performances. To learn about PCL files'
conversion through VSI-FAX, refer to Fax Imaging
(page 71).
New print drivers
VSI-FAX Server and VSI-FAX LanFax Windows Client come with new print drivers to allow native application printing
on 64-bits platforms. For more information on the way you can send faxes directly from your applications using VSI-
FAX printers, refer to Print-to-fax
(page 181).
Improved registration portal
The registration Web site from which you retrieve your VSI-FAX license (serial number and activation key) offers a
more intuitive interface and now allows you to obtain a license for any other Esker products . For more information,

document directly from the Microsoft Office 2007 application or by faxing the document from LanFax Windows client.
Support of Acrobat 7 and above
