Introduction to the FAXmaker API's

FAXmaker allows you to submit faxes automatically to the queue from your application via 3 methods:

  1. The Netprintqueue2FAX feature
  2. The Text API
  3. The FAXmaker client COM API.
NetPrintQueue2FAX

The Netprintqueue2FAX feature allows you to embed the fax number in the document to fax. This way, you can print to fax from almost any application, from anywhere in the network, without having to enter the fax number separately in the FAXmaker fax form or Outlook.

This feature is especially handy for accounting applications – simply by embedding the fax number in the document, for example an invoice, a fax can be sent. No application integration or development is required. For more information on this API, please see the NetPrintQueue2FAX chapter.

FAXmaker Text API

The Text API allows you to send out text files automatically by submitting a text file with fax options into a directory.

FAXmaker client COM API

It is possible to submit faxes programmatically using the FAXmaker client COM API. However, we recommend using the NetPrintQueue2FAX feature instead. The FAXmaker client COM API information is available from the GFI FAXmaker knowledgebase. Note that the FAXmaker COM API is not supported – i.e. we cannot analyze your code and explain why it's not working for you.
