-
-
- NEW! * Supports Multiple File Formats
-
- You can send any of these file types directly from

- Color PCX files will be converted to grey shades.
-
- BitFax also supports the new DCX graphics file
- format by INTEL-DCA.
-
- * Send Multiple Files
-
- You can combine more than one file to be sent to a
- Fax machine. For instance, you might choose a
- picture file with graphs or logos, and combine it
- with a text message, and then send everything with
- one phone call. Doing so will reduce phone
- charges, as well as save the time needed to make
- multiple calls.
-
- * Flexible Phone Number Management
-
- You can add, change, delete, and sort phone
- numbers easily with BitFax. The BitFax Phone Book
- also allows you to store company names and
- addresses. You can group a set of phone numbers
- to be used for distribution lists.
-
- The Phone Book database is stored in a dBASE III-
- type format (.DBF filename extension), so you can
- access it with dBASE or other compatible utility
- programs.
-
- * Busy Auto Redial
-
- If the fax machine you are calling is busy, BitFax
- will redial the phone number for you. You can
- specify the amount of time to wait between each
- redial, as well as how many times to redial.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- *Easy to Use and Flexible Setup
-
- You can easily set up hardware information such as
- the COM port number. You can specify a file
- containing graphs or logos that you want to be
- used as a cover page. You can also specify a line
- that will be sent as a header line on every Fax
- page identifying your company name, fax number, or
- other information.
-
- Once you have set up this information, it will be
- included every time that you send a fax.
-
- * Comprehensive Report and Log File
-
- After every fax message has been sent, BitFax will
- keep a log of the party that was called, error or
- completion status, duration of transmission, type
- of files sent, and the actual filenames that were
- sent.
-
- * Fax Mail Merge
-
- Fax Mail Merge lets you fax customized letters to
- several people with their own name, address, or
- company information merged into it with a form
- letter. The names, companies, addresses, or other
- information is taken from the phone book database,
- which is in a dBASE format. You can create a
- comprehensive database with dBASE and use the data
- for the Fax Mail Merge.
-
- Doing so will save you time and get impressive
- results from your recipients.
-
- * Broadcast and Distribution List Management
-
- BitFax lets you send a message to several people
- selected from the phone book. You can also assign
- names into groups and just send to the selected
- groups without having to key in or select their
- numbers each time you send. For example, you can
- put everyone in the sales department into a group
- and just send to that group. Otherwise, you have
- to select each individual name each time you want
- to send a fax.
-
- NEW! * Fax Preview
-
- Before you send your fax, you can look at the
- actual image of the pages in graphics mode. You
- will see the actual fonts, sizes, or any pictures
- exactly the way they will be received.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- * Time Scheduled Transmissions
-
- You can schedule BitFax to send a fax at night or
- any time when the phone charges are less
- expensive.
-
- NEW! * Printer Capture
-
- After installing the memory resident BitFax
- printer driver, you can use any application
- software such as WordPerfect or Lotus 1-2-3 to
- print the document. Instead of going out to the
- printer, the BitFax printer capture driver will
- intercept the printout and convert it into a fax
- format to send to a fax machine.
-
- This feature gives you a convenient and easy way
- of sending a fax without exiting your program.
-
- NEW! * Video Capture
-
- The Video Capture feature lets you capture any
- graphics image displayed on the screen and save it
- to a file. The captured file can then be faxed to
- any Group III fax machine. For example, if you
- draw a graph from Lotus 1-2-3 and display it on
- the screen, the graph can easily be captured and
- faxed to your associates.
-
- NEW! * Easy to Use Pop-Up Menus
-
- BitFax gives you two easy ways to go from menu to
- menu or do any task. You can press a specific
- function key to do a job or press the Escape key
- to get the pop-up menu. From the pop-up menu, you
- can select any function by pressing the cursor
- keys.
-
- NEW! * Cover Sheet and Text Editor
-
- Now you can type your message with the text editor
- and fax it in one single step. The cover sheet
- lets you identify yourself and the destination
- party's name and phone number. The recipient's
- name can be retrieved and merged from the phone
- book.
-
- NEW! * Read Word Processing Files Directly
-
- You can select any document files created by
- WordStar, WordPerfect, or Multimate. BitFax will

- directly without requiring you to convert the
- document to a text file first.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- NEW! * "Include" and Merge Multiple Files Into One Page
-
- You can mix any picture file (such as your company
- logo or signature) with your text messages. You
- can easily include these files with an "Include"
- command in your text so it will be done each time
- you send the text file.
-
- NEW! * Destination Fax ID Report
-
- If the fax machine you call returns an ID (phone
- number or company name), BitFax will report it and
- keep it in the log.
-
- NEW! * Fax Fine Resolution Support
-
- BitFax can send graphics files using file
- resolution which is 200 DPI.
-
- NEW! * Batch Mode
-
- You can set up a command file to tell BitFax the
- phone number and file to fax, and when you want it
- to be sent. This is a flexible way to broadcast
- your fax if you get the destination phone number
- from other sources such as a database program in
- the main computer.
