NEW FAX
A VANCOUVER company has
come out with a new form of fax
machines,

With the JetFaa 2. faxes can be
received on laser printers on plain
bond paper rather than the curled
thermo faxes some machines pro-
duce.

In addition, the JetFax 2 has 60
pages of memory to store faxes if
the printer is unavailable.

According to J.W.G.
Distributors, who are marketing
the JetFax 2, the JetFax 2 faxes
cost’ less than half! of thermal
paper faxes while at the same time
avoiding Ure expense and labor of
copying faxes onte plain paper.

The company adds that cus-
tomers who use the JetFax 2 can
also share a single telephone line
for sending from a thermal fax
unit while at the same time com-
plementing existing equipment.

The JetFax 2 is described as
allowing customers to receive
plain paper faxes on their nearest
laser printers, eliminating trips to
the central fax machine or waiting
for mailroom deliveries.

JetFax 2 also makes multiple
copies cf incoming faxes, saving
time at the copier machine.

The device also sizes incoming
faxes to fit onto a letter or A4-
sized sheet, or selects the proper
tray if you have a dual bin print-
er.
A second device being marketed
by the company is the JetFax PC.
This unit allows customers to load
software onto their PC or file
server and print to the nearest
JctFax-equipped laser printer.

The JetFax performs all the
dialing and transmission functions
and delivers faxes with most pop-
ular laser printer foms and granh-
ics.

JetFax units, call J.3V.G.
