ASDS FaxManager Preferences

When you install FaxAdmin, the ASDS FaxManager gets installed also.  This is to be used for sending your faxes if you do not have Winfax Pro, Vista Fax, FaxTalk etc.  You can opt to use ASDS FaxManager as well instead of these other programs.

There are several preferences that will affect the way FaxAdmin processes your fax from ACT!

Here is an example of the preferences screen form ASDS FaxManager

TSID can be entered manually and this is what is placed at the top of the outgoing fax to identify the sending fax station

InitString is where you can enter option modem command string items if your modem requires this

Default Cover Page is set to "{None}" by default.  If you would NOT like to send a cover page automatically when you send a fax you can leave it set to "{None}".  Otherwise you can select one to use as a default.

Resolution will change the clarity in the appearance of the fax.  By default "Normal" is suffice.  If you are faxing an image or an attachment that you will require to be very clear and crisp then you will want to choose "Fine" from the list.

Priority will set the urgency on the fax for your recipient.

History on Success Will flag a history item that the fax was actually sent to the recipient.

History on Fail will flag a history item that the fax was NOT successfully sent to the recipient.

Show Call Progress is set by default.  This will show you a progress box and the actual number that is being used.  It is recommended to leave this checked to avoid confusion with the number that is being dialed.

Off-Peak will cause the fax being sent to use the off-peak time that is defined in the box below.

Off-Peak Time is used to set when faxes flagged as "Off Peak" will be sent.
