Downloading received faxes

Received faxes can be downloaded to a folder on disk using the GFI FaxMaker Online Client Inbox tool. A downloaded fax is stored on disk in the format configured in the GFI FaxMaker Online user settings. An XML file is also downloaded containing the fax metadata, such as the sender's number, sender's CSID and date/time of receipt.

To use this method of receiving faxes, your administrator must configure your GFI FaxMaker Online account to receive faxes using Inbound Web Services. If the account is configured to receive faxes via email, this method does not work.

A received fax can either be received via email or downloaded using this tool. We recommend to use this method only when using third party software to automatically pick up received faxes.

Using the GFI FaxMaker Online Client Inbox tool

To launch the GFI FaxMaker Online Client Inbox tool, open the GFI FaxMaker Client installation folder, example C:\Program Files\GFI\FaxMaker Client\ and open FMOnlineClient.exe.
