Fax Relay
Fax Relay allows you to send faxes from fax machines and other multifunction devices which are sent using the Zetafax Server, this sends the fax more cost effectively and ensures that the fax is stored in the archive. Fax Relay can be used in three different ways, which can be combined as required in a single installation.
Anonymous sending
In this mode faxes are sent from the fax machine or multifunction device by entering just the fax number in the exact same way as before with a fax machine connected directly to a phone line. This enables users who do not have their own Zetafax user account to send faxes. The result is typically notified by a printed status page on the multifunction device printer or a nearby printer.
Sending by Zetafax users
For users setup on Zetafax they have the option to input their their ID (typically the last few digits of their DID fax number) followed by a separator (typically a star) at the start of the fax number. The fax is sent as if they had sent it from their Zetafax user account, including notification of the result and archiving.
Use as network scanner
Zetafax users can simply enter their ID on the fax machine instead of the fax number, the fax is then routed to their Zetafax account, from where the user can send the fax as usual. This is designed for users who want to scan a paper document to include with documents being faxed in environments where other network scanners are not available.
