CORPORATION INVENTS REVOLUTIONARY LINE OF FAX ENHANCEMENTS.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1995--Fax users can now face the future, thanks to a revolutionary line of fax utilities from CFAX Computer Fax Technologies Ltd. CFAX has developed fax software utilities now available for license by vendors of fax products or to subscription fax/fax-on-demand services. CFAX Vice President Dov Kellerman said the utilities address the five common problems in business fax use: -0- o Quality o Security o Authentication o Data Integration o Management Control

Quality -------

"Fax printouts commonly contain obvious flaws," Kellerman stated. These flaws include random spots; horizontal or vertical lines; and "squeezed", skewed, or smeared text.

In response, CFAX offers: -0-

FaxFix -- removes common distortions caused by line noise.

Fax DeSkew -- straightens images.

FaxFlip -- restores inverted images.

CFAX Cleaner -- enhances images by removing spots and lines, whether

they were caused by scanner errors or were present in the original

document.

Security --------

"Payroll data, financial projections, marketing plans -- when you fax these things to someone you have no way of knowing if they are just lying around," Kellerman warned.

Thus CFAX offers Ciphax encryption software. The Group 3 protocol's imaging encoding is untouched, but the image itself is turned into a hash of black and white lines, which can only be decoded with a keyword.

Authentication --------------

Authentication assures the recipient that the message came from the stated source. "The lack of an authentication feature makes the use of faxed pages as legal documents problematic," Kellerman said. "In almost all cases the 'terminal identifier' line inserted by the sending machine at the top of each page is programmable, so the sender could be anyone. Until there is a standardized authentication system, fax documents will be treated with suspicion," he said.

Kellerman stated the CFAX is currently developing such a system.

Data Integration ----------------

Text and fax files are transmitted as binary data, but fax files are stored as graphic images, with their text inaccessible until processed by OCR software. "Unfortunately, OCR processing is generally poor," Kellerman noted.

CFAX, however, has achieved 100 percent accuracy by realizing that most computerized faxes are sent from Windows in scaleable outline TrueType fonts. Consequently, CFAX-Ultimate-OCR (available Q3 1995) processes faxes as binary files containing fonts from Windows applications. CFAX also offers ReadFaxD for fax-on-demand, OCR Engine for conventional OCR, and Read InfoCard for OMR of faxed magazine response cards.

Management Controls -------------------

"Management must account for fax use just like any other resource," Kellerman said. With Fax Compression, a document can be transmitted efficiently, saving you valuable connection time and reducing costs dramatically. The phone charges generated must be tallied. But management will also need data such as time of day, destination, and transmission speed.

CFAX's retail product, CFAX Pro 4.0 (MSRP: $129), includes these features, also adding the above enhancement, encryption, and OCR utilities to Delrina's WinFax software.

Prices ------

For OEM products and service providers, price will vary by platform, by the price of the vendor's product, by application, and level of customization and support.
