Client Overview
The Interpage OutFax Client is designed to work in conjunction with the
OutFax service to facilitate seamless integration between a local PC/Mac or office
network of PCs and/or Macs and the Interpage OutFax service.
With the Fax Client, Interpage OutFax customers may send faxes from their
PC's desktop or from within Microsoft word by simply clicking on the client,
and entering a destination phone number.
Office networks and other LANs may freely copy the Fax Client to all networked
machines so that all workstations/employees may use the same Interpage OutFax
account to send faxes using the Fax Client.
High-volume Tier V customers may apply to have the OutFax Client customized
for their specific office needs, such as locking out certain phone numbers,
time of day restrictions, and private label/logo branding.

To download the OutFax Client, click the download
link, below, and save the file to your desktop or another folder where you
can readily locate it after the download is complete.
When the download finishes, double click on the installer file (eg, what you
just downloaded), and follow the instructions to install the OutFax Client
on your system.
Some warning messages may result if you do not have Microsoft Word or Office
on your system, but you may ignore these and complete the installation and
still use the Client with other programs/file types. (The client makes a few
additions to a file folder in Word and Office; if it can not find those folders
it will generate a warning but it will not otherwise adversely affect the
installation of the Client software.)
If you are not a current Interpage OutFax customer, you will need to establish
an OutFax account in order to utilize the Client's features. Please contact
Interpage for further details on our fax services or if you have any installation-related
questions.
