About MyMessages

Administrators can set up MyMessages for Device and WebApps client users. This enables users to select their messages, attachments including faxes, and print from a device or web client. Authentication is required. Inbox and History filters are set up during configuration for users to access via the View MyMessages button. Custom filters can be added specific to your workflow requirements. In addition, users can run a report that shows the status of print jobs by job id.

Before you begin

Administrators must complete the following installations and tasks.

  • Server installation
