Despite the advent of email and fax servers the world's fax machine population (100+ million) continues to grow and with it the volume of paper consumed (currently around one trillion pages pa). PolyFAX(tm) brings innumerable benefits to fax machine users:
- Complete control over the outbound fax activity;
- Reduction and in some cases elimination of the fax phone bill;
- Direct delivery to the recipient's desktop eliminates manual distribution of inbound faxes and the associated problems (cost, loss of privacy, delayed delivery, lost documents).
Corporate or high-volume PolyFAX(tm) subscribers may use the PolyFAX-PRO(tm) version for totaly secure and private delivery of Internet Faxes without ever getting a telephone bill...representing a potential saving of $15 million pa for the average Fortune 500 corporation.
It also benefits the world's environment by reducing the average amount of paper consumed per fax from 5 pages to 3.5, potentially saving the lives of up to 30 million trees pa.
Patent-Pending PolyFAX(tm) software is unique in that it permits a user to SEND E-MAIL and PAPER DOCUMENTS to ANY EMAIL ADDRESS using ANY REGULAR FAX MACHINE. An Internet connection is not required. The sender does not need an e-mail address.
The user enters the message and email addresses of the recipients and the program prints an Address Page and an (optional) Message Page. The data are printed as bitmaps.
The Address and Message Pages are placed on the (optional) paper document and they are faxed together to a server which extracts the destination addresses and plain text message and converts them to email messages. An image file representing the (optional) paper document is attached to the email message, before transmitting to the recipients. The Address and Message Pages are not transmitted.
The service is currently available in 100+ cities in 20+ countries.
The PolyFAX(tm) client software is free of charge and freely distributable. The associated service is free of charge for 30 days. Subscribers to the service may use the software for fax broadcasting to any mix of UP TO 50 email addresses and fax numbers and may also opt to have e-mail replies delivered to their fax machine if they do not have an e-mail address.
