Exhibit 23.1

NOTICE REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provides that if any part of a registration statement at the time such part
becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any
person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among others, every
accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or certified any part of the registration statement, or as having prepared or certified any report or valuation which is used in connection
with the registration statement, with respect to the statement in such registration statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the accountant.

This
Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into Omtool, Ltd.'s filings on Form S-8 Nos. 333-39571 and
333-91659 (collectively, the "Registration Statements") and, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, is deemed to be a new registration statement for each
Registration Statement into which it is incorporated by reference.

On
June 28, 2002, Omtool, Ltd. dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent auditors and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent auditors.
Omtool, Ltd.'s understanding is that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that it will not accept consents from Arthur Andersen LLP if the engagement
partner and the manager for the Omtool, Ltd. audit are no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. Both are no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. As a result, Omtool, Ltd. has been unable to
obtain Arthur Andersen LLP's written consent to the incorporation by reference into the Registration Statements of its audit report with respect to Omtool, Ltd's financial statements as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the years then ended. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits Omtool, Ltd. to file this
Form 10-K without a written consent from Arthur Andersen LLP. As a result, however, Arthur Andersen LLP will not have any liability under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any omissions of a material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you
would be unable to assert a claim against Arthur Andersen LLP under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any purchases of securities under the Registration Statements made on or after the
date of this Form 10-K. To the extent provided in Section 11(b)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, however, other persons who are liable under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act, including the Company's officers and directors, may still rely on Arthur Andersen LLP's original audit reports as being made by an expert for purposes of establishing a due diligence
defense under Section 11(b) of the Securities Act.
