Instead of printing automatically, fax files may be printed later, using the CompuFax PRINT command.

For example:

FAX> PRIN T FAX$:REC_DIR:RAC1B9E6_1_8182485253.T4 / DELETE

5.4 View ing Faxes

Instead of printing every received fax, the CompuFax VIEW command may be used to view a received fax or
other T4 file. However, since T4 files are graphics files, they cannot be displayed on terminals that are only
capable of displaying text.

For the VIEW command to work, you need a VT330 or similar terminal, capable of displaying sixel graphics.
Also, Operator privilege is required to use the viewing facility. The command file CF_REC_TOOLS.COM
has been provided as a customizable tool, to facilitate the viewing of T4 files and then print, delete, move, or
otherwise dispose of them.
