NowForms™: Fax Module

The NowForms Fax Module seamlessly integrates into the NowForms server allowing your company to intelligently route documents to be printed or faxed. Save time and money by faxing transactional documents that are typically mailed. Your organization easily defines the NowForms logic for determining which documents are printed or faxed and can be set up. These rules can be set by customer, type of document or any other data associated with the print file.
