Email gateway
The email gateway can be configured to use either the native application or the document conversion add on (if licensed) to convert files to TIFF format. Using the document conversion add on, it is not necessary to install rendering applications on the fax server itself.
The table below lists supported rendering applications using the Zetafax e-mail gateway:
|

3.0, 4.0, 5.0 |

Please note: The quality of the image created when using the document conversion add on is excellent in most cases, however occasionally customers may witness some slight anomalies where the output is not exactly as expected. This is because the document conversion add on does not use the native application to convert documents to TIFF images. Whichever method is used, Zetafax allows the user to preview the fax before sending it and make changes if needed.
