Java question on faxing?

Question

Does anyone know how to write a program in java that will auomate the process of archiving incoming and outgoing faxes?

Answer 1

Hello,

The only way I could think of automating FAXING on a pc and archiving them. Is if you create your own Fax client. A Fax is simply sending an email (kinda). So when you fax your document, you save the attached locally and do whatever you wish to do. Same thing with incoming.

Basically, many of my colleagues used this API.

It is basically what you are looking for, it saves the fax as a buffered image, and you can save that locally for your archiving purposes and receive as a buffered image as well for archiving purposes. Whatever you do during those process is up to you.

So take a look at that API, it is very nice and easy to learn.

Good Luck
