Virtual FAX / RightFax
RightFax is a fax software application that makes faxing easy by
allowing users to send and receive faxes directly from the desktop.
Open the document you wish to fax and select the “RightFax Fax
Printer” option from drop-down list of printers. A cover sheet
automatically pops up requesting the recipient’s name, fax number
and other key information. Use the Cover Sheet notes to type any
text you wish to add to the fax and click Send.
Faxes – inbound and outbound - can be viewed from the desktop
application.
