FAX options when using your email application

If you want to send a fax using fax options that differ from the default settings set by either your administrator or yourself, you can do this by using the fax options described in this paragraph. The fax options should be typed in at the top of the body of the email message, preceded by a double colon. Please note that the recipients of the fax will not be able to see these specifications in the received text. The following options can be used:

To specify a cover page

::C=cover page name

For example: ::C=cover1

‘Cover page name’ stands for the name of your cover page. If you do not want to send a cover page, but by default a cover page is added, you can override this option temporarily by specifying ‘none’ instead of a cover page name. This will cause FAXmaker not to add a cover page.

NOTE: Remember that the cover page must be stored and configured on the server first.

To specify high or low resolution

::'H' or 'N'

For example: ::H

‘H’ stands for high resolution (200 * 200 dpi) and ‘N’ for normal resolution (200 * 100 dpi).

To specify a front cover page

::F=cover page name

For example: ::F=cover2

To schedule a fax

::nn:mm

For example: ::23:15

‘nn’ equals hours and ‘mm’ equals minutes. If you want to send a fax at a scheduled date or time, this option can be used.

To specify a billing code

::B=nnnn

For example: ::B=5

‘nnn’ can be replaced by any number. This number will be added in the log file and can then be used to apportion costs.

To specify priority

::p=low/high/l/h or priority= low/high/l/h

For example: ::p=low

‘P’ stands for priority. You can enter low, high or l or h. This option is handy when you have submitted a large fax mailing and you wish to send out this fax immediately.

Multiple options

When you are using multiple options in a message, you must type them on the same line, separated by a comma.

For example;

:: c=cover1, 23:15, B=5
