TGX Printer: Printing Now Means Sending
The virtual printer for Windows, macOS, and Linux sends documents from any application as a fax, letter, Secure Email, or Fax2Phone.
By TruegateX Support Team
Until now, the shortest route from an open document to its recipient was: export as PDF, upload to the customer center, type in the recipient, send. With the TGX Printer this route shrinks to a single print command.
What the TGX Printer is
After installation, the TGX Printer appears in your system's printer list, right next to the real office printer. The difference: it does not print on paper, it opens a sending dialog.
You work in Word, in your ERP, in your accounting software, or in the browser, press Ctrl+P (macOS: Cmd+P), choose the TGX Printer, and then decide:
- Fax to a fax number, with a cover page if you like
- Letter: we print, envelope, stamp, and hand it to the postal service
- Secure Email: the recipient gets a protected link by email
- Fax2Phone: the protected link arrives by SMS on their phone
Which systems does it run on?
The TGX Printer runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. There is no printer driver on smartphones, but the share menu gives you the same effect: open a PDF in any app, share it, choose TruegateX, pick the channel.
What happens to the document?
The document is transmitted encrypted and deleted from your computer right after sending, so no local copy remains in the spool folder. You will find the sending status and the delivery report in the customer center as usual.
Typical use cases
The medical practice faxes reports straight from the practice software, without the detour via the paper printer and the fax machine in the hallway.
The law firm posts deadline-critical letters as registered mail without anyone walking to the post office.
The accounting team sends dunning letters right out of the ERP, each one with a documented delivery status.
