Facsys Desktop Tray Icon

By default, the Facsys Desktop is installed in the Windows startup group and launches as a background process when Windows starts. As a result, a Facsys Desktop icon is displayed in the Windows System Tray.

While the Facsys Desktop icon is in the Windows system tray, the Facsys Desktop application is running in the background and is available for processing fax events and communicating with the preferred fax server.

By right-clicking on the Facsys Desktop tray icon, the Facsys program menu is displayed. Choose the commands on this menu to do the following:

• Open Facsys Desktop - Choose this command to open the Facsys Desktop application. This action also occurs when the 'tray icon' is double-clicked.
  
  
• Create Fax Message - Choose this command to display the New Fax Message window in which a user can define and send a new fax.
  
  
• Options - Choose this command to display the Options dialog box in which the settings that affect the default Facsys fax server connection and default Facsys Desktop options are defined.
  
  
• Close - Choose this command to end the Facsys Desktop process and remove the tray icon from the Windows taskbar. When the Facsys Desktop icon is removed from the System Tray, the background connection to the fax server is terminated. To send faxes from the desktop, a user must first restore the connection by logging onto the Facsys server.
