What is eFax and what does it do?

Each document file must have a corresponding properties file, to determine the type of communication required (currently fax or email), the recipient, fax number or email address and the "picture" template (bitmap) to be used (if required).

The text from the document file will "overlay" the bitmap specified as the "template", as if it were outputting to a printer.

If OSMOSiS eFax finds more than one document in its pending directory, for the same fax number or email address, these will be consolidated into one single transmission.  This maximises cost and time efficiency.

There are many reports available to analyse the faxing usage and efficiency.

Separate folders for Pending, Sent and Failed for faxes and emails is managed by OSMOSiS eFax.  Separate "client" folders are also maintained, containing all faxes and emails sent to each recipient.
 

	What are templates used for?
	Templates in OSMOSiS eFax are used to send complete document with logo’s and any other graphics. If, for example the user wants to send an invoice via this method, the user would scan in the invoice template which the user uses to print on and allocate a specific document to the invoice template. This will “overprint” the text onto the scanned “picture” document and send the resulting image.
