Softpedia Editor's Review for Snappy Fax
|
Send and receive faxes from your computer, use your scanner for faxing
Written by Mihaela Citea on January 9th, 2012
Snappy Fax is a desktop fax program that provides beginners with a user-friendly interface, yet offers many useful features that meet the needs of an advanced user. First, the program asks you to configure your modem's COM port, in order to establish the connection. After that, you can easily organize your incoming and outgoing faxes, as well as set scheduled tasks.
One advantage of Snappy Fax is that it can archive sent faxes for later use. You can retrieve them whenever you want, in order to process them again. Moreover, you can write annotations on the document, which enables you to mark it up and send it back to the initial sender.
When sending a new fax, Snappy Fax enables you to prepare the fax job, by filling in the fax routing method, recipient information, sender details, dialing properties and fax signature. You can assign a cover page to the fax, which can also include a custom message: 'Urgent', 'For review', 'Please comment / reply / recycle'. Furthermore, the program includes an integrated cover page designer that you can use to create your own templates.
Another plus is the Schedule feature, which really comes in handy if you have multiple faxes to send. Any document can be queued and saved for sending at a user-defined date and time.
In order to easily manage your contacts, Snappy Fax allows you to create an address book, where you can store all fax machine numbers and contacts' detailed information. An advantage is that you can import address book entries from other applications.
With the help of Snappy Fax, you can also repair or optimize your data files, as well as generate customized fax reports, using the in-built report designer.
As stated above, Snappy Fax provides you with a lot of useful features, which makes it a complete and useful solution for fax messages management.
