Fax Modem  (250-3581)            View Fax              Faxback Doc. # 5896

View Fax lets you view receive faxes from your screen.  If you want a hard
copy of a fax, you can also print a fax to your printer.  From View Fax,
you can also rename and sort fax files.

OPENING VIEW FAX

To open View Fax, type the following command at the DOS prompt:

    VIEWFAX

And press [ENTER].  The View Fax Utilities menu will appear with a list
or receive faxes.  You can also open View Fax from the Communication
Functions Menu by selecting Utility Functions and then choosing View
Fax.

When BitFax receives a fax, it names the fax file according to the time
and date it was received.  For example, if you receive a fax at 2.33 p.m.
on July 23, BitFax would name the fax:

    07231433.TIF

The first pair of number indicates the seventh month, of July.  The
second pair represents the 23rd day.  The last four number represent the
time (in the 24-hour format) BitFax received the fax.

You can use the arrow keys to scroll through the fax image.  To see the

zoom in on a portion of the fax image, press [F5].  To zoom out, press

NOTE:  If you are using an LCD monitor and you are having trouble viewing
       the fax, you can reverse the screen (make black white and white
