Thanks for sharing. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>My recommendation would be to use the fax-to-email functionality to HylaFax to email incoming faxes. These can then be either emailed to an Alfresco folder or Ephesoft for OCR and then releasing into Alfresco. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Also, now you can run Alfresco and HylaFax on different servers. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ainga</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 29 May 2012 20:26:03 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hylafax-alfresco-integeration-with-stamping-date-time/m-p/248015#M201145 zaizi 2012-05-29T20:26:03Z Re: HylaFax , Alfresco Integeration , with stamping date & time https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hylafax-alfresco-integeration-with-stamping-date-time/m-p/248016#M201146 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks Ainga</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I will try to do that, but how could we manage stamping the fax&nbsp; with the date and time, before checking into Alfresco Share </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Joseph John</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 30 May 2012 05:15:36 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hylafax-alfresco-integeration-with-stamping-date-time/m-p/248016#M201146 bisana 2012-05-30T05:15:36Z
