General fax server options General FAXmaker options To configure general fax server options, right-click on the General node and select properties. You can configure the following options: Auto print Auto print outgoing faxes if successful: This option automatically prints all outgoing faxes that are sent successfully. Auto print if failed: This option automatically prints all outgoing faxes that fail. When you check one of these Auto print check boxes, the auto print set-up dialog will automatically pop up: Auto-fit If you want your faxes to be auto-fitted, select Nearest Size. If you are sure you are only going to receive one fax format/size, you can select that format: A4 only, Letter only or Legal only. If you have chosen Nearest Size, you must set up a printer (this can be the same printer) for each format. If you have chosen one format only, you must set up a printer for that format. Auto print report if successful: If this option is activated, FAXmaker will print a transmission report and a miniature of the fax after successfully sending a fax. Auto print report if failed: If you select this option, FAXmaker will print a transmission report and a miniature of the fax after an outgoing fax has failed. When you check one of these Auto print check boxes, FAXmaker will include 6 fax pages on one printer page (except for the first page as this includes a transmission report and 5 fax pages). Auto print set-up dialog Scan folder for text files (Text API) In the general fax server options dialog you can also specify a folder, which FAXmaker must scan for faxes to be sent out. Scan folder for text files: This folder is used by the TEXT API. It allows you to send faxes programmatically, by posting a correctly formatted text file in the 'scan directory'. This allows you to integrate FAXmaker with another application. For more information on the TEXT API please see the TEXT API chapter. Format text using cover page: This option allows you to specify a cover page onto which the text in the text file must be formatted. Advanced Options General options - Advanced tab Fax transmission options Enhance fax image when sending low resolution faxes: By enabling this option, the quality of low-resolution faxes is improved. Receive *.tif attachments instead of *.fax (for sent fax reports): This option will cause the FAXmaker server to attach fax files with the extension *.tif in the sent fax reports it emails to the users. Fax reception options Cut long faxes to pages: If a page is longer than 1.5 times the selected page size, the page is cut to the selected size, using an intelligent page-cutting algorithm. Paper size threshold: Select the paper size you wish to receive faxes in. If an incoming fax is more than 1.5 times the paper size, it will automatically be cut to the size you select here. Receive *.tif attachments instead of *.fax: This option will cause the FAXmaker server to name inbound fax files with the extension *.tif. This way faxes will be associated with a default tif viewer and therefore there will be no need to install the FAXmaker viewer on the user's machine. (Note that the user will not be able to annotate the fax)
