New - Release 4.1! BlueFax is a turnkey fax solution for the AS/400 that supports sending, receiving and printing of fax documents. And now, with the optional BlueMail module, you can also distribute your reports as E-mail attachments; all in one easy to use package.

This new release provides your AS/400 installation with all of the fax features you and your users may need. From faxing an individual spool file entry, to faxing documents to your customers, to supporting your PC client users with outbound fax services from their desktop environments .... BlueFax Release 4.1 has it all. When you add the optional BlueMail support, you have a comprehensive AS/400 report distribution solution too.

First, your users can send any AS/400 print spool file as a fax using BlueFax. Any AS/400 terminal user can send faxes individually or automatically to a predetermined location. With a few simple changes, your system applications can even create output directly to fax. You can send faxes on plain paper or you can merge the information from your spool file with a forms overlay to produce a fax document that looks just like your company forms. With this feature, you can send invoices, statements, purchase orders and more directly from your application programs.

Faxes can also be sent from attached PC's. Release 4.1 of BlueFax supports full PC client fax server functions. This enables your PC users to send faxes directly from their favorite wordprocessing software, spreadsheet software, database software and more. Any Windows PC client can use the fax sever features.

BlueFax is a turnkey fax product. No special hardware is needed for the AS/400. The only prerequisite is a communications port and a telephone line. BlueFax comes packaged with a fax modem. All you need to do to start sending faxes directly from your AS/400 is load the software, attach the modem to the system and plug in the phone line. Typical installation time is around 20 minutes.

BlueFax can send output from existing AS/400 applications with little or no programming changes. The outbound fax capability is very fast and uses little system overhead. Support is included for adding logos and signatures to outbound faxes. Faxes can be sent to individual fax destinations or to a list of destinations in a distribution list.

In addition to sending faxes, BlueFax supports receiving, storing and printing faxes. To print faxes, an attached HP LaserJet PC printer (HP III or higher, or an equivalent printer) is required. The printer can be attached to a PC running Client Access/400 or to the printer port on a dual-session terminal. Faxes can also be viewed using the BlueFax Client Software.
