Fax to directory to ECM capture disk sweep

If you have a multi functional device, you might have the capability of saving incoming faxes to an attached PC or storage device. The fax can usually be saved as a PDF or TIF. The folder where you save the fax image is based on your ECM's scanning configuration. This configuration is scheduled to "sweep" the folder location periodically to import the images. The processing of these images is preset, meaning that the images might have barcodes to be read for indexes, or be routed to a workflow. This type of processing is common in companies that have MFDs that are dispersed. It can save on licensing fees and scales.
