FAX RESOURCE PRINT+SHOW  -  PRESS RELEASE

Resource Partners, Inc. (Wakefield, NH) announces Print+Show as the 
latest addition to the Fax Resource Product Suite.  Print+Show is actually 
two products in one!  It's the versatile Print-2-Image printer driver that 
creates fax-ready images in many popular file formats, combined with ShowFax, 
a Microsoft Windows executable to view and annotate fax images.


PRINT-2-IMAGE
The Fax Resource's Print-2-Image (P-2-I) is a powerful print-to-image 
utility and imaging tool kit.  Installed as a Windows printer driver, 
you can turn the output of any Windows program (i.e., a Word document, 
a Lotus spreadsheet) into "fax-ready" image files.   You have complete 
control over where the image is created on your hard drive, what filename 
is used, and which file format the images are generated as. 

Your spreadsheets or documents may look great on paper, but if you want to 
fax your documents, you must create a hard copy and walk to the fax machine.  
Print-2-Image removes that extra step - it creates a faxable image from the 
source document on your PC with no lost resolution, no wasted time, and 
no wasted paper.  

If you've worked in Windows, or if you've used a fax board under Windows, 
you know how easy it is to select a printer from the "Printer Setup" menu 
within any Windows program.  By selecting "Print-2-Image on FAX" as your 
printer,  you can easily create a "fax-ready" image file in a directory
of your choice. 

Print-2-Image supports all of the leading fax-ready image formats:
-       PCX and DCX (INTEL CAS)                 [Multi-page PCX]
-       Tiff T4, CCITT Group 3-1D and 2D        [Multi-page TIFF] 
-       Tiff T6, CCITT Group 4-1D               [Multi-page TIFF]
-       Tiff GAMMA Group 3 1D and 2D            [Single-page TIFF]
-       Tiff Huffman CCITT, & Uncompressed      [Single-page TIFF]
-       BMP - Windows bitmap                    [Single-page BMP]


SHOWFAX
The Fax Resource's ShowFax is a Windows executable file.  ShowFax can be 
launched from an application and be used to open or close selected documents 
using documented Windows messages. Optimized for speed, ShowFax lets you 
display and manipulate almost any single-page or multi-page image file 
including fax formats PCX, DCX, and TIFF.

With ShowFax, specific annotation features include the ability to add text 
notes in any Windows font to the image, in an opaque or transparent frame, 
with visible or hidden borders.  Additional tools include arrows and frames.  Pages can also be added or removed at will (such as a cover page of a fax received), copied to the clipboard and pasted on a different image, or copied to any Windows application.  ShowFax even allows you to clean-up a fax image with an eraser-like tool.

Other ShowFax options include long and short menus; hidden, floating or 
fixed toolbar; and image enhancement.  Annotated images can be saved as 
two separate files, with annotations saved as re-editable objects, or they 
can be merged permanently into the original image.  

To make an image from ShowFax, simply specify the file name and a supported 
file format including: Group 3 TIFF, Group 4 TIFF (compressed), and DCX. 
Once displayed, the image can be rotated (4 ways), zoomed (3 levels, + fit 
in frame width), and annotated.

	
Who can use Print-2-Image and ShowFax? 

Fax-On-Demand, Fax-Back, Voice Processing, E-Mail and Fax Distribution 
Systems need an easy and reliable way to create images -- and Print+Show 
is the answer.  Print+Show can also be mail-enabled for VIM and MAPI.

If your company develops custom Windows applications, then you probably 
need to integrate fax and imaging into your systems.  Print+Show easily 
integrates with any Windows programming environment  -- just set the 
current printer to "Print-2-Image on FAX" and print.  The image format and 
resolution, paper size, orientation, and other features are easily 
programmable through a simple INI file.

Print+Show can be integrated into programs built with the leading 
application development tools including:

-       Microsoft's Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Access
-       Powersoft's PowerBuilder
-       Gupta's SQLWindows
