Use as a Network Scanner
This method of using fax relay enables those with their own Zetafax account who do not have access to a personal or network scanner to scan a document by sending it as a fax to themselves, by entering their own Zetafax user ID instead of the fax number.
For example, a user with direct dial fax number 222 333 4444 wishing to send a fax to themselves might enter the following fax number on the fax machine:
4444
The received fax will be delivered to their Zetafax Client Inbox or their email Inbox, depending on their user settings for receiving incoming faxes. It can then be resent by fax, including adding a coversheet or other documents as required.
Fax machines are usually configured to add a header line to sent faxes including the date and time of sending and other identification information. This forms part of the received fax image, so would be included when resending the fax in addition to any header line added by the Zetafax Server. The Zetafax Viewer includes annotation tools which could be used to remove this header information if required. Alternatively, organisations using fax machines primarily as network scanners with Zetafax may choose to disable the header line in the fax machine settings – most fax machines allow this.
