With STraight FAX!, sending
a FAX with your Atari is as
easy as point and click!
YOU NEED FAX CAPABILITY
You might think that FAX is just another fad, but the facts
are that FAX has changed the way the world communi-
cates. Now, any printed page can be transmitted any-
where in the world in a matter of seconds.
Businesses use FAX to send all kinds of information –
purchase orders, invoices, product descriptions, adver-
tisements, technical drawings, legal documents and
much, much more! Our TOADFAX service is used to keep
customers up to date on products and prices. Anything
on paper can be instantly re-created at another location!
YOUR ATARI IS THE BEST FAX
SOLUTION
A typical FAX machine consists of three parts: a modem,
a scanner, and a printer. Because you have to buy these
components together, FAX machines can cost between a
few hundred and a few thousand dollars! Dedicated FAX
machines also work best with a dedicated phone line!
HIGHER QUALITY
You’ve probably heard people complain about the flimsy
thermal paper that standard FAX machines use, or about
the low-quality scanners that somehow manage to always
feed pages crooked or add extra streaks and lines. Well,
with your Atari and a fAX modem, your FAXes will look
perfect every time!
STraight FAX, the premiere FAX package for the Atari
ST,TT and Falcon030 will allow you to use a remote FAX
machine as if it were your own high resolution printer!
Quickly send ASCII, IMG, Degas, and GEM files at 200
dpi! Or, with our unique FAX to Disk printer drivers, FAX
output created by your favorite DTP package, whether it’s
AtariWorks, Speedo GDOS based, PageStream, Calamus
(Standard/S/SL), Calligrapher, That’s Write, or
Timeworks Publisher. We support them all.
Receiving incoming FAXes and print them on your own
printer. Dot matrix, inkjet, and laser printers are all sup-
ported through GDOS. This is truly a plain-paper FAX sys-
tem!
Received FAXes may also be converted into IMG and
Degas formats, for use in desktop publishing. Convert
them to smooth vector graphics with a program like
Avant Vektor. Or, convert them into ASCII text with
Migraph’s OCR package! No matter how you use it, one
thing is certain: a FAX stored on a computer is more valu-
able than on flimsy, heat-sensitive paper.
POINT AND CLICK
STraight FAX is incredibly easy to
use! Just choose the ASCII, First
Word, PCX, IMG, GEM or Degas
file you wish to send and tell it
where you want it to be sent. You
can even send the same FAX to
multiple destinations!
But even when you’re using the
STraight FAX direct to disk drivers
for PageStream, Calamus, and
GDOS (and other popular applications), STraight FAX is still easy to use. To prove it, we’ll go
through the FAX process, step by step, and show you how easy it is to fax a custom document (cre-
ated in PageStream) with STraight FAX!
First, create the document in PageStream, using whatever fonts and graphics you like. Then, load
the special STraight FAX direct to disk printer driver. Just choose “print” from the file menu and
your document will be converted into a 200 dpi special bitmap graphics FAX file. Now you’re ready
to run STraight FAX!
Upon loading STraight FAX, the STraight FAX Manager will recall that you have printed a file using
one of the special FAX drivers. It will prompt you to send the file you’ve just created. Specify
whether you want to add a cover page, and the number or numbers where you’d like the FAX to
be sent. Then feel free to leave the room! STraight FAX! takes care of the rest.
All the other “print-to-disk” drivers work the same way! It’s really easy!
