What's New in ExtraFax for Microsoft Exchange 3.1
* New features and enhancements - This version contains the following useful new features and enhancements:
- Support Windows Server 2016
- Support Brooktrout 6.7.5 driver
- Support using ABBYY Recognition Server to generate searchable PDF files for sent and/or received faxes
- Support sending and receiving faxes with TE-SYSTEMS XCAPI
- Brooktrout Fax: Improve fax success rate by disabling V.34 modulation automatically when retrying to send a fax job
- In the Port Configuration, you can designate a fax port as an Express Line.
Fax jobs whose number of recipients exceeded the maximum value in the port will not be assigned to the Express Line.
This prevents bulk faxing from utilizing all the fax ports and blocking other transmissions.
- In the Port configuration, the setting "Allowed to Dial the Same Fax Number with Different Ports Concurrently" is enhanced so that this setting also works in multiple Port Servers environment.
If this value is "No", ExtraFax will assign recipients with same fax number to the same fax port.
- In the System Configuration, you can configure email notification settings so that if ExtraFax fails to connect to port servers within specified time interval,
emails will be sent to specified email addresses.
- Support billing for inbound faxes.
- Capability to calculate fax charges by page.
* New fixes and updates - ExtraFax for Microsoft Exchange 3.1 contains several fixes and updates:
- Avoid using GhostScript for rendering dynamic XFA PDF form
- Port Server: Fixed not all ports being displayed in the ExtraFax Log viewer
