HQFax is a single user, stand-alone faxing
application for Windows. You can print from most Windows
applications with the HQFax Printer Driver and HQFax will popup,
allowing you to send a fax to one destination or many
destinations. HQFax has a built-in Jet phonebook and many other
features designed to make faxing easier. You can fax through the
Internet or with your local fax modem.
You either send a fax using your local fax
modem. HQFax comes with the HQFaxMgr which allows your locally
connected fax modem to send and receive faxes.
You can also send a fax through an Internet fax
network called TPC.INT using standard Winsock. Your Winsock
connection can either be through your LAN or your modem.
Selecting whether to send the fax via the modem or the Internet
is simple.When you want to send, click Send for Modem or IFax for
Internet.
All Windows 3.1, 3.11 and Windows for
Workgroups are supported. Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 are also
supported. Each operating system Win3.X, Win95 and WinNT have
their own installation disks. Windows NT is not yet supported
with release 8 of HQFax.
Download the files for your operating system.
Windows 3.1 systems need to have Win32s loaded
first. These provide 32 bit services to Windows 3.x users. These
are installed separately to HQFax. Download these and run setup.
Pkunzip the HQFAX??.ZIP file you have received
into a temp directory. This temp directory should ideally be on
the same volume/drive you are going to install HQFax into. Eg.
You are installing HQFax into C:\HQFax so you place the temporary
files into C:\TEMP
Once you have the extracted files run the setup.exe which has been extracted.
Let's take Microsoft Write as a sample
application since it's available on all Windows Platforms. Open
your document in Write. Click Print and Select the HQFax Printer
Driver. This will be called HQ Win16 on Windows 3.x machines,
FaxHQ-95 on Windows 95 and HQ_FaxDriver on NT Machines. Now click
OK to print. HQFax should then popup. Type in the fax number in
the dialog box shown.
Very Important.. You must include the full
country code and area code for every fax you send via the
Internet. TPC.INT is an international organisation and it uses
the country code of your fax to determine which fax server
processes your fax.
Some examples:
To send a fax to
Sydney Australia: 61 2 9558 xxxx
Melbourne Australia 61 3 9555 xxxx
Los Angeles, USA 1 310 555-1234
Note the 0 in front of the area code is removed
for most countries that have a 0 in front of their area code. If
in doubt consult your local telephone directory on how to direct
dial internationally. The same procedure usually applies to
sending faxes via TPC.INT.
Click IFax when you have finished entering the
fax number details. With HQFax you can send faxes to multiple
destinations at one time. If you "abuse" particular
locations by mass faxing, you will find that your access to these
locations is barred.
This is easy. In HQFax's Fax Tracker. Right
mouse click the gray area beside the buttons. Click on the
Receive option from the popup menu. You are now being shown the
Received Fax log. Select the entry you wish to send via the
Internet and click the Resend button. Type in the number of the
destination and click IFax.
Firstly print the Excel spreadsheet using the
HQ printer driver. When HQFax pops up, Select the File Menu and
the option "Keep This Image File". You will then be
asked for a brief description for this file. Complete this. Now
go into your Word Document and print this using the HQ Printer
driver. When HQFax Pops up again, key in your fax destination
details. Click the DOCS button and drag the previously saved
image file into the attached documents area. Click OK. Now can
you send the fax via the modem or through the Internet clicking
Send or IFax.
This is caused by a conflict between HQFax's
Jet database DLLs and those of another application which has an
older version of Jet. HQFax's Jet (Microsoft's database API) is
the latest version 2.5 for 16 and 32 bit operating systems. If
you want to keep your old version, you can ignore the errors and
try and run the setup wizard when everything is finished.
Run the program with the command line
C:\HQFax\INETSet WIZARD
If you want to get rid of your old Jet, look
for the following files in your windows or windows\system
directory.
MSAJT200.DLL
VBDB300.DLL
Delete or rename these files (You may also find one called msajt112. Remove this one also). You can then re-install HQFax from the setup program.
