Description:

Specifies that the current file is to be a Breakup file, which means that selected portions of

the file are to be treated as though they were separate files, which may have different fax phone numbers.
This directive must occur in the file, prior to any non-directive text lines. See also # # NEWFAX and
# # ENDFAX directives. Only one of the files in a FAX can be the Breakup file.

CHARACTER_SIZE
Format:

# # CHARACTER_SIZE [ DOTS | INCHES | MILLIMETERS [Height [Width ]]]

Description:

This directive specifies the space between text characters, vertically and horizontally. If width

or height is not specified or is smaller than the space required by the current font, the font's default character
width and/ or height is used. If only one number is specified it is assumed to refer to height.

Example:
# # CHARACTER_SIZE MILLIMETERS 4.0 3.0

This will space text lines 4 millimeters apart and character spacing within a line is set to 3 millimeters.

EN DFAX
Format:

# # ENDFAX

Description:

Indicates the end of a section of text that is to be sent to a given destination. This directive

must be used in conjunction with the # # BREAKUP directive and the # # NEWFAX directive.

FON T
Format:

# # FONT [filename]

Description:

This directive permits a change of font during the conversion of a text file. The font file

must be contained in the logical directory FAX$FONT_DIR, which is normally the same directory as
FAX$DIR, and must have a .FNT file extension. The # # FONT directive expects only the file without a path
name or extension; for example:

# # FON T STDFON T

Only HP LaserJet (TM) compatible soft font files can be used as font files. If this directive 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$DIR:STDFONT.FNT. FAX$DIR:132.FNT, which is also
shipped, allows 132 characters per line in Landscape orientation.

LAN DSCAPE
Format:

# # LANDSCAPE

Description:

Specifies that the current document is to be rotated clockwise. For this directive to apply to

the page in which it is issued, it must occur in the very first line of that page, otherwise its execution is
deferred until the start of the next page. Description: This directive overrides a / PORTRAIT qualifier in the
SEND command.

LOOKUP
Format:

# # LOOKUP lookup_key

Description:

Specifies a database lookup key to use in sending the document. The syntax of this is the

same as the / LOOKUP qualifier on the SEND command.

N EWFAX
Format:

# # NEWFAX

Description:

Indicates the start of a section of text that is to be sent to a given destination. This directive

must be used in conjunction with the # # BREAKUP directive and the # # ENDFAX directive.

# # NUMBER phone_number
