4.1.1 Requirements for Sending a Fax
The Xpressions fax function can be used from every PC application that permits data to be di-
rectly sent to an e-mail recipient. This chapter describes how to use Xpressions to send files
from Microsoft Windows Explorer in the form of a fax message.
4.1.2 Requirements for Receiving a Fax
Please read Section , "Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail Service" on page 2-1 for
information on receiving a fax with an e-mail client.
To retrieve and output fax messages on the phone, see Section 3.2.3.1, "Listening to/Retrieving
Messages" on page 3-11 .
4.1.3 Fax Cover
Your system administrator can provide you with various cover pages that are sent as the first
page of the fax. Different variable components such as the originator, recipient or subject line
can be added automatically to the cover page. You can use the Client Assistant (see
Section 2.9.12, “Fax Forms”) to define the cover page that is to precede your fax pages. Alter-
natively you can consult your system administrator in this regard.
This function only works if your Internet e-mail address in your mail client corresponds to the
STMP address of your Xpressions mailbox.
