Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FaxFinder Admin User Guide 73
Chapter 5 – FaxFinder Operation
Introduction
This chapter describes the things that a user can do with the FaxFinder system. The software programs
involved are the FaxFinder Client Software and the Multi-Tech Tiff Viewer (or designated PDF viewer).
The FaxFinder Client Software interfaces with the FaxFinder Server and has its own user interface. 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. The Multi-Tech TIFF viewer is installed automatically with
the FaxFinder Client software.
