=> FaxJet  LaserJet PCL to FAX Converter <=

It often seems like every document writer uses a different word pro-
cessor or desktop publishing system.  That's fine - everyone should use
the package they are most confortable and productive with. But how can
you improve productivity by letting your users FAX their documents
electronically, without having to print them and then wait in line for
the FAX machine?

Hmmm... all of those word processors and desktop publishers have one
thing in common- they can produce output for the most popular laser
printer in the world, the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Series II.  There
should be a way to electronically FAX that output...

There is a way.  Use our FaxJet conversion program and our FaxiX UNIX
Facsimile system on your network or workstation.  FaxJet can convert
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Series II Printer Control Language (PCL) into
a format which can be used by our FaxiX software (and other computer
based facsimile systems) to send a document in PCL format to a fac-
simile machine.

Features

FaxJet has the following features:

   o Converts PCL to Tag Image File Format (TIFF), at native (300x300
     dots per inch), high resolution facsimile (200x200 DPI) or low
     resolution facsimile (200x100 DPI) resolutions.
   o Complete emulation of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Series II
     Printer Control Language (PCL).
   o Compatible with the PCL output of popular word processing and
     desktop publishing packages, such as Word Perfect, MS Word,
     Pagemaker, and JetRoff.
   o Includes the standard Series II internal fonts.
   o Can be preloaded with soft fonts and/or cartridge font emulations
     from popular soft font vendors such as HP, Bitstream, Soft Craft,
     SWFTE, and Digi-fonts.

Requirements

FaxJet requires that you already have or can get the following:

   o INTERACTIVE 386/ix 2.x, SCO UNIX 3.2, or UNIX System V/386
     Release 3.2
   o Soft font equivalents for any cartridge fonts that you want to
     emulate.

Samples

If you received this advertisement through your FAX machine, it was

mat.  You can expect comparable output quality from your own word pro-
cessor or desktop publisher.  If you did not get this advertisement
through your FAX machine, send us your FAX telephone number to get
sample product output.
