Integration with Microsoft Office 2007
New MFP integrations include Ricoh, eCopy, EFI and Sharp
New User Interface
MORGAN HILL, CA – January 22, 2007 - Castelle (Nasdaq: CSTL), a
leader
in ‘all-in-one’ network fax solutions for the business and enterprise
markets, today announced the release of FaxPress™ 9.0, the newest
version of software for its FaxPress family of network fax servers.
“FaxPress 9.0 was developed with both new and existing FaxPress
customers in mind,” said Scott McDonald, President and CEO of
Castelle. “The FaxPress 9.0 software suite has a new look and feel
similar to our FaxPress Plus™ software suite, and includes
compatibility with Windows Vista and Office 2007. With the release
of
FaxPress 9.0, Castelle is one of the first fax server manufacturers
to
provide fax software designed to work with Microsoft Vista and Office
2007. We also continue to provide compatibility with the leading
copiers and multi-function printers, allowing our customers to rely
on
such devices in lieu of costly fax machines.”
FaxPress 9.0 client and server software has been enhanced for greater
fax server reliability and performance. New features include:
Windows Vista and Office 2007 Compatibility
The FaxPress 9.0 client is compatible with all versions of Microsoft
Windows Vista as well as Microsoft’s new Office 2007 suite.
New Multi-function Product (MFP) Integrations
FaxPress 9.0 includes integration for Ricoh GlobalScan, eCopy 4, EFI
and Sharp OSA-enabled multi-function devices. Integrating a FaxPress
fax server with a multifunction device provides copier, scanner and
multifunction users with immediate access to an intuitive, user-
friendly fax interface. Paper documents are converted easily to
electronic fax files with the touch of a button, and once a document
is scanned, the copier, scanner or multifunction device is
immediately
free for further use since all fax retries occur at the FaxPress.
New User Interface
One of the significant changes in FaxPress 9.0 is the user interface.
The FaxPress 9.0 client now has the same easy-to-use, intuitive
interface as FaxPress Plus.
MSI Installer
Network Administrators can now automatically install the FaxPress
client on networked workstations using the built-in Group Policy
features of Windows Server or by custom login scripting.

Flexible and easy to use, Windows Fax and Scan helps you save time.
Windows Fax and Scan, available in the Business, Ultimate, and
Enterprise editions of Windows Vista, makes it easy to send and
receive faxes, scan documents and images, and share those items with
others-right from your computer.
Windows Fax and Scan in the Windows Vista operating system provides
flexible, integrated faxing and scanning capabilities that make it
easy to send and receive faxes, scan documents and images, and share
those resources with other users. Whether you are a home user or a
business professional in a small or medium-size business, the new
enhancements in Windows Fax and Scan can help you send information,
handle documents, and save time.
Easy-to-use Fax and Scan
Windows Fax and Scan is on the main All Programs menu of the Windows
Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate editions. It can be
installed as an optional component in Windows Vista Enterprise.
Windows Fax and Scan enables you to perform all faxing and scanning
tasks and manage all of your faxes and scanned documents from one
location.
Windows Fax and Scan offers several preset categories and folders to
help you organize your faxes and scanned documents more easily, and
it
enables you to create customized folders. To file faxes and scans,
drag them into the appropriate folder, just as you file and organize
e-
mail in Microsoft Office Outlook. Terminology and functionality
familiar to users of other Windows applications make using Windows
Fax
and Scan simple and intuitive. In addition, Windows Fax and Scan
supports multiple user accounts on the same computer. This is
particularly useful for small businesses that have several employees
sharing a single computer. Different employees can log on to the same
computer to send faxes, and each one will be appropriately recognized
and identified as the sender of his or her own faxes. Instead of
receiving generic faxes from the business, customers and suppliers
will get the personal touch.
Faxing
With Windows Fax and Scan, sending and receiving faxes is as simple
as
using e-mail. Just select New Fax from the File menu to get a fax
template with all of the fields you need.
The To line in the fax template links directly to your address book-
either the address book in Outlook or the Windows Address Book. Just
click the name of the contact to whom you want to send a fax, and
Windows Fax and Scan retrieves the fax number. If you prefer, or if
you are sending a fax to someone not listed in your address book, you
can type in the fax number instead. Next, you fill in the Subject
field and type any notes you want to add to the fax cover sheet.
Attach the document you want to fax, just as you would add an
attachment to an e-mail message, and the pages of the attachment
become the pages of your fax. You can send more documents in the same
fax by adding more attachments.
Scanning
Windows Fax and Scan offers one-click scanning of documents and
images
from locally connected or network-connected scanners and
multifunction
print/scan/fax devices. Windows Fax and Scan lists all of your
scanned
files plus other useful information, such as the scanner used to
create the file and the day and time the document was scanned.
You can adjust the settings for documents you are scanning, selecting
the correct paper size and controlling colors and resolution, and
then
store those settings as a scan profile. With Windows Fax and Scan you
can create and store multiple scan profiles to make it easy to get
consistent quality every time you scan, without the need to reselect
all of your settings for different types of documents and images.
Before you do a full scan of a document, you can use the Live Preview
feature to see how it will appear on your computer after the final
scan. Live Preview creates a low-resolution cached image of the
document that you can easily modify. You can use it to experiment
with
changes and view them instantly.
Earlier versions of Windows offer scan support, but only for scanners
connected directly to your PC. Windows Vista improves scanning in
three key ways. First, it supports scanners that are connected across
a network, making it easy for you to share scanners with your family
members or colleagues. Second, it offers an enhanced user experience
by providing integrated support for scanning, faxing, and e-mail so
that all three features work together smoothly. Third, it enables you
to easily manage documents after you have scanned them into your
system.
Sharing scanned documents
Windows Fax and Scan enables you to set up routing lists for scanned
documents. From the File menu, choose Set Up Routing, and then
designate the e-mail addresses and server shares that should receive
your scanned documents. Whenever you scan a document from that
scanner, you can choose from among the routing lists you previously
set up.
For later sharing, right-click the icon for e-mail or faxing (both
are
built in to the task bar of Windows Fax and Scan), which brings up an
e-mail or fax template, respectively, with the scanned file attached.
>From there, you can send the e-mail message or fax as you normally
would.
Microsoft has a long history of including various applets with
Windows. Some of these applets, such as Notepad and maybe even
Solitaire, are virtually indispensable parts of the operating system.
Other applets, such as the Character Mapper, remain relatively
obscure. Microsoft is including a new applet with Windows Vista
called
Windows Fax and Scan. Although there is nothing especially remarkable
about this new applet in and of itself, it is definitely worth paying
attention to. In this article, I will explain why.
What is Windows Fax and Scan?
Windows Fax and Scan is a new applet included with Windows Vista that
will allow you to send and receive faxes and to scan documents or
images. As I said in the introduction, there is absolutely nothing
remarkable about these capabilities. It has been possible to send and
receive faxes from a computer for many years now. In fact, most of
the
time, if you buy a modem it comes bundled with desktop fax software.
The same thing can be said about scanning images or documents. It has
been possible to scan images and documents into a computer for well
over a decade. On the surface, the only thing that’s even remotely
remarkable about Windows Fax and Scan is the fact that Microsoft is
now integrating fax and scanning software into the Windows operating
system. This means that you will no longer be dependant on third
party
software for faxing or scanning (although you will most likely want
to
continue using third party software since most third party scan or
fax
applications are more full featured).
Of course if Windows Fax and Scan was really as mundane as
