This manual explains how to install the Winprint HylaFAX fax program on your computer. Installing the program will enable you to send and receive faxes on your computer through your 1A-server.
Winprint HylaFAX is a virtual Windows printer designed to send its output directly to a HylaFAX Server. Once installed, you can print to the HylaFAX Server on your 1A-server from any application. Winprint HylaFAX is not intended to be a all encompassing fax machine, it is just a quick and easy way to send faxes from any Windows application.
In order for Winprint HylaFAX to work you need to install the software on your computer. Next you need to install and configure a virtual printer, so HylaFAX can communicate with your 1A-server to send the faxes.
