General Information

The Fax Viewer application provided with CallStation allows you to view and print your received faxes.  You can zoom and rotate pages, and switch between the pages in a multi-page document.  Anti-aliasing is used by default to make faxes appear smoother and easier to read.

You can configure Fax Viewer to display the dockable toolbar on the top of the window or on the left side of the window by default.

The status bar has indicators to show the current page number, total pages, dpi (dots per inch) that the fax was scanned at, and the display resolution (in pixels).

Fax Viewer is normally launched automatically when you click the "View" button in the Fax Manager, however you can also use the "Open" command to open a specific fax file.  Fax Viewer can only open G3 (fax) TIFF files like those saved by CallStation.
