Your Faxxis service delivers faxes and voicemails to your email as attachments. To open these attachments you will need software.

Most Windows operating systems include TIFF viewers. Multi-page TIFF viewer software is required to view faxes sent as TIFF files, and Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view Faxxis faxes sent as PDF files.  Audio player software is required to listen to voice messages. Although software is not provided by Faxxis, we have assembled a list of third-party software products for your convenience.

TIFF Viewer Software

Windows (Windows 95 (B release*), Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows NT 4.0) - If you are using one of these operating systems, Windows Imaging software should already be installed on your computer. To open the Windows Imaging program, go to your start menu and select Programs, then select Imaging from the Accessories menu.  If you are using one of the operating systems listed above and Imaging is not already installed on your computer, you can install it from your original system CDs by using the "add/remove programs" feature in the Windows control panel.

* To find out what version of Windows 95 you are using, right click once over the ‘My Computer' icon on your desktop, and select properties from the pull-down menu. A ‘System Properties' window will open up; make sure the ‘General' tab is selected. You should see the word “System”, with the version of Windows you are using listed below it. If you are using Windows 95 B, the letter B should appear after Windows 95. If not, you do not have the Imaging software installed and you will need to download and install it before viewing faxes.  

Windows 95 users only - you may download the Imaging software at http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/tool/1.0/W95/EN-US/imginst.exe

Windows XP users - Windows XP has the built-in ability to view multi-page TIFF files via its Image and Fax Viewer. This will automatically launch when you double-click on the TIFF file. 

Mac – We recommend receiving your faxes as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. You may choose to have your faxes sent as PDF files by changing your preferred fax file format in your account settings.
