/ FON T
Format:

/ FONT[= filespec]

Description:

This qualifier specifies the font to be used when converting a text file into T4 format. The

font file must exist in the logical directory FAX$FONT_DIR, which is normally the same directory as
FAX$DIR and must have a .FNT file extension. This qualifier expects only the file name, without path name
or extension; for example: # # FONT 132 refers to font file FAX$FONT_DIR:132.FNT. When this qualifier
is used without a file name, the active font reverts to the default font file,
FAX$FONT_DIR:STDFONT.FNT. Only HP LaserJet (TM) compatible soft font files can be used as font
files. If this qualifier is given without a filename, the logical file name FAX$ASCII_FONT is used as the
default. As shipped, FAX$ASCII_FONT is defined in FAX_SYSTARTUP.COM as
FAX$DIR:STDFONT.FNT. The file 132.FNT, which is also shipped with CompuFax, allows 132 characters
per line in Landscape orientation.

/ FORMAT
Format:

/ FORMAT= file_format

Description:

This qualifier is used to override the default file type for files being sent. The file format may

be one of the following:
POSTSCRIPT or PS
FAX or T4
PRIN TER or TEXT

POSTSCRIPT and PS are synonyms. FAX and T4 are also synonyms, as are PRINTER and TEXT. Printer
format is the normal default for ASCII files. See the File_Types help for a description of the supported input
file formats.

/ LAN DSCAPE
Format:

/ LANDSCAPE

Description:

Specifies that the current document is to be rotated sideways. This qualifier is positional: if it

occurs before the name of the first file to be sent, it applies to all the files to be sent with this SEND
command; otherwise it applies only to the file name that immediately precedes this qualifier. / LANDSCAPE
and / PORTRAIT apply only to Printer Format (ASCII) files. This qualifier is ignored for other file formats.
If the orientation of the document is not otherwise specified it will be sent at the orientation set by the System
Manager for the device it is sent on. The device default orientation is a part of the SHOW DEVICE/ FULL
display. / LANDSCAPE and / PORTRAIT are mutually exclusive. A # # LANDSCAPE or # # PORTRAIT
file directive takes precedence over this qualifier.

/ LOGO
Format:

/ [NO]LOGO

Description:

When present, the logo appears at the top of the first page of the fax that is being sent. If the

System Manager has defined a default logo file to be automatically prefixed to outgoing faxes, the
/ NOLOGO qualifier will prevent the logo from being sent with the outgoing fax. The default is / LOGO
which causes the logo file to be included in the outgoing fax, provided CompuFax has been set up to do so.

/ LOOKUP
Format:

/ LOOKUP= string

Description:

Specifies a database lookup key to use to get the phone number for the FAX. The first

matching database entry is used. If this is specified it overrides any specification within the file. The format
and meaning of this string is defined by the particular database application being used. The meaning of this
key for the database application supplied with CompuFax is documented with that application. If a user-
supplied database application is being used, the meaning of this key will be defined by that application.
/ LOOKUP and / NUMBER are mutually exclusive.

/ MAIL
Format:

/ MAIL [= username]
