In order to send a text saved in a text file (in this case:Fax.txt) as a fax to a specific recipient (in this case: Recipient with the fax no. +044 1213 4567 890), switch to the directory in which SwyxFax Client is installed and enter the following command via the command line:
FaxClient.exe /f:fax.txt /n:”+44 1234 567 890"
or
FaxClient.exe /f:fax.txt /n:+441234567890

FaxClient.exe /f:fax.txt /n:+441234567890 /q
If SwyxFax Client has already been started, any additional calls will be ignored.
