defined as an actual print queue on the system. See VMS System Manager documentation on managing
queues.
The / [NO]RECEIVE qualifier defines whether or not faxes are printed automatically upon receipt. The
received fax is in T4 format and CompuFax creates a PCL format print file for the printer currently
supported. After printing, the PCL file is automatically deleted. To prevent deletion of the T4 file after
conversion to PCL, specify the / NODELETE option.
The / RESOLUTION= nnn qualifier defines the resolution at which the printer will print the file. The size of
the printed image is not affected (just the sharpness of the image) if the / SCALE option is also used. If
/ NOSCALE is used, the size of the image will vary with the selected resolution. Valid values of nnn are 75,
100, 150, 300 and 600. Printing at lower resolutions is faster and uses less disk space, but image quality is not
as good. Recommended resolutions for printing faxes are 300 or 150 dpi.
The / [NO]SCALE qualifier determines whether or not the image is to be scaled to the same dimensions as
on a fax machine. If / NOSCALE is selected, the image is processed faster by the print program and the
dimensions of the printed image depend on the selected resolution (At 300 dpi resolution, the image's
dimensions are about 2/ 3 of that of a regular fax.) Note that for high volume printing it may be better to use
scaling at a lower resolution, since this reduces the size of the file to be sent to the printer and therefore
printing is faster.
The / [NO]SEND qualifier determines whether fax documents that are being sent out are also printed
automatically before being transmitted. The / SEND option may be used if it is desirable to have printed
copies of all faxes that are sent. Default is / NOSEND. You may override the / [NO]SEND setting for an
individual fax by using the SEND command with the new / [NO]PRINT qualifier.
The / [NO]SHEET_FEED qualifier determines whether or not each sheet of paper is to be fed manually.
Manual paper feed may be required to print on special sizes or quality of paper. When / SHEET_FEED is
enabled, the printer control panel will display a message requesting the paper to be fed into the printer.
The / SIZE= XXX qualifier defines the size of the paper on which the file is to be printed. Valid values for
XXX are LETTER_SIZE (8.5" x 11") LEGAL_SIZE (8.5" x 14") A4_SIZE (210mm x 297 mm)
EXEC_SIZE (7.25" x 10.5"). Note that the / SIZE qualifier defines the size of printable area on the paper,
which equates to the dimensions indicated above, less a half inch (a quarter inch all around.) For letter size,
for example, the printable area is 8" x 10.5". The / SIZE qualifier does not verify that the correct paper size is
actually loaded in the printer.
The / [NO]TRAILER qualifier specifies whether or not a trailer page is printed after a fax file has been
printed. Default is / NOTRAILER. See VMS System Manager documentation on managing queues for more
information about trailer pages.
The / TYPE= XXX qualifier provides the opportunity for future support of more than one printer type.
Currently, the only type supported is PCL, which is the default. This will print the specified T4 file and then
delete it. The / [NO]DELETE qualifier in this command overrides the printer setup delete option. If this
qualifier is omitted, the printer setup determines whether or not the T4 file is deleted after printing.
5.3.1 Fax Print er Set up
The fax printer is normally set up in the FAX.OPTIONS file, using the PRINTER command as covered
above, but may be omitted if no changes to the system default values are needed. Additionally, printer settings
may be changed dynamically from the FAX> command prompt, using the SET PRINTER [/ options...]
command. Qualifiers are the same as for PRINTER in the FAX.OPTIONS file. Command line changes are
