BitFax Features NEW! * Supports Multiple File Formats You can send any of these file types directly from your PC to any Group III Fax machine: ASCII - text PCX - PC Paintbrush IMG - GEM Artline TIFF - scanner TIFF Class 'F' Fax format - supported by Everex, Microsoft, Aldus Color PCX files will be converted to grey shades. BitFax also supports the new DCX graphics file format by INTEL-DCA. * Send Multiple Files You can combine more than one file to be sent to a Fax machine. For instance, you might choose a picture file with graphs or logos, and combine it with a text message, and then send everything with one phone call. Doing so will reduce phone charges, as well as save the time needed to make multiple calls. * Flexible Phone Number Management You can add, change, delete, and sort phone numbers easily with BitFax. The BitFax Phone Book also allows you to store company names and addresses. You can group a set of phone numbers to be used for distribution lists. The Phone Book database is stored in a dBASE III- type format (.DBF filename extension), so you can access it with dBASE or other compatible utility programs. * Busy Auto Redial If the fax machine you are calling is busy, BitFax will redial the phone number for you. You can specify the amount of time to wait between each redial, as well as how many times to redial. *Easy to Use and Flexible Setup You can easily set up hardware information such as the COM port number. You can specify a file containing graphs or logos that you want to be used as a cover page. You can also specify a line that will be sent as a header line on every Fax page identifying your company name, fax number, or other information. Once you have set up this information, it will be included every time that you send a fax. * Comprehensive Report and Log File After every fax message has been sent, BitFax will keep a log of the party that was called, error or completion status, duration of transmission, type of files sent, and the actual filenames that were sent. * Fax Mail Merge Fax Mail Merge lets you fax customized letters to several people with their own name, address, or company information merged into it with a form letter. The names, companies, addresses, or other information is taken from the phone book database, which is in a dBASE format. You can create a comprehensive database with dBASE and use the data for the Fax Mail Merge. Doing so will save you time and get impressive results from your recipients. * Broadcast and Distribution List Management BitFax lets you send a message to several people selected from the phone book. You can also assign names into groups and just send to the selected groups without having to key in or select their numbers each time you send. For example, you can put everyone in the sales department into a group and just send to that group. Otherwise, you have to select each individual name each time you want to send a fax. NEW! * Fax Preview Before you send your fax, you can look at the actual image of the pages in graphics mode. You will see the actual fonts, sizes, or any pictures exactly the way they will be received. * Time Scheduled Transmissions You can schedule BitFax to send a fax at night or any time when the phone charges are less expensive. NEW! * Printer Capture After installing the memory resident BitFax printer driver, you can use any application software such as WordPerfect or Lotus 1-2-3 to print the document. Instead of going out to the printer, the BitFax printer capture driver will intercept the printout and convert it into a fax format to send to a fax machine. This feature gives you a convenient and easy way of sending a fax without exiting your program. NEW! * Video Capture The Video Capture feature lets you capture any graphics image displayed on the screen and save it to a file. The captured file can then be faxed to any Group III fax machine. For example, if you draw a graph from Lotus 1-2-3 and display it on the screen, the graph can easily be captured and faxed to your associates. NEW! * Easy to Use Pop-Up Menus BitFax gives you two easy ways to go from menu to menu or do any task. You can press a specific function key to do a job or press the Escape key to get the pop-up menu. From the pop-up menu, you can select any function by pressing the cursor keys. NEW! * Cover Sheet and Text Editor Now you can type your message with the text editor and fax it in one single step. The cover sheet lets you identify yourself and the destination party's name and phone number. The recipient's name can be retrieved and merged from the phone book. NEW! * Read Word Processing Files Directly You can select any document files created by WordStar, WordPerfect, or Multimate. BitFax will read the file and convert it to a fax format directly without requiring you to convert the document to a text file first. NEW! * "Include" and Merge Multiple Files Into One Page You can mix any picture file (such as your company logo or signature) with your text messages. You can easily include these files with an "Include" command in your text so it will be done each time you send the text file. NEW! * Destination Fax ID Report If the fax machine you call returns an ID (phone number or company name), BitFax will report it and keep it in the log. NEW! * Fax Fine Resolution Support BitFax can send graphics files using file resolution which is 200 DPI. NEW! * Batch Mode You can set up a command file to tell BitFax the phone number and file to fax, and when you want it to be sent. This is a flexible way to broadcast your fax if you get the destination phone number from other sources such as a database program in the main computer.
