Screenshot 55 - The advanced line/device options

This tab allows you to configure auto print, backup location & format options and number of DID/MSN digits to capture.

Screenshot 56 - Auto print set-up

The auto print option allows you to automatically print faxes received on this line. Optionally you can setup a different printer for different fax sizes (A4, Letter or Legal). To select the printer(s) click on `Set-up printers'. If you want your faxes to be auto-fitted, select `Nearest Size, otherwise select a specific paper size. If you have chosen `Nearest Size', you must set up a printer (this can be the same printer) for each page format. If you have chosen one page size only, you must set up a printer for that format.

NOTE: Printing of outgoing faxes is configured in the Sending options node.

Backing up faxes

Backup faxes received on this line: Creates a copy of all incoming faxes in a directory of your choice.
Backup faxes sent on this line: Creates a copy all outgoing faxes in a directory of your choice.

DTMF/DID routing options

Here you set-up routing options specific to this fax line. Note that the main routing configuration is done from the routing node.

NOTE: Some of these options will appear grayed out depending on what device you are using. Note that standard fax modems have no routing capabilities.

Number of DTMF/DID digits to capture: Length of DTMF string/number that caller or PBX must generate. For example, if you are going to use from 1-9 only, enter 1; up to 99, use 2 digits; up to 999, use 3; and so on. Be aware that if you enter a certain amount of digits, the sender must enter all the digits for the fax to be routed correctly. For example, if the digits are set to 3, and the DTMF number is 6, the sender must enter 006 not just 6. Another option would be to enter 6# (the # implies number complete).

Generate beep before capture: specifies that the fax device should give a beep when it answers the call as a signal to the user to enter the DTMF number. It is recommended that this option is always selected. The tone of the beep may be selected from the drop down box. The tone can be a DTMF tone or a frequency from the selected range.

Flash after DTMF capture and before tone: This option is used only for Multitech modems. When this option is enabled, after successfully detecting tone, the fax server goes 500ms on hook (flash) and then start receiving the fax.
