Save as digital document
OfficeBridge is a management system that enables highly functional document
management by connecting with computers on the network.
Managing Faxes as “Digital Documents”
OfficeBridge can manage received faxes as “digital documents”, in a similar manner to
e-mail.
Normally, the content of faxes is checked by printing them out to paper, but OfficeBridge
enables the content of faxes to be checked as images on a computer.
The content of faxes can also be saved as a PDF file.
This enables you to save storage space because the images can be saved to a hard disk or
CD-R, etc. without using a binder as with traditional paper documents.

Received faxes can be re-used on a computer.
For example, received order forms and invoices can be forwarded to other employees in
the same company without printing them to paper (paperless reception).
Sharing Information
Information can be shared by distributing scanned documents to specific members.
