Sending
Fax automation has never been simpler. With RELAY Client-Server you can send faxes from any Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 application.

The RELAY server software on the host is accessed via TCP/IP or DECnet so you can also enquire about the status of your messages directly from your PC. You can create and maintain Personal Address Books to provide quick and easy access to regularly used numbers.

Sending a fax message is just as simple as printing. Create your message in any Microsoft Windows application, click on FILE and PRINT to select the RELAY fax printer driver and the RELAY basic dialogue box will be displayed.

You only need to provide the destination number or phone address book short code before clicking on the 'Send' button to put your fax into the RELAY queue

An advanced dialogue box lets you change your default transmission values as long as you have the necessary privilege.

Finally, a log number is displayed so you know your message has been successfully accepted. Once your fax has been transmitted RELAY can also send a confirmation message to your VMS Mail inbox.

Queue enquiry

The RELAY Queue Enquiry window shows the current status of your messages. Here you can see at a glance whether they have already been sent or are still awaiting their turn. With the correct privilege levels you can also see the status of faxes belonging to other RELAY users.

Address Book

You can use the RELAY Address Book to store regularly used numbers under a short name for quick access and selection at message send time. Each short name can hold both a main and alternative fax number. Entries are personal or system wide and, for mailshotting applications, can be linked into distribution lists to allow the same fax to be sent to multiple destinations in a single operation.
