Distel 5000 Fax Machine - Faxing Directly Fro |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Users want to fax through a Distel 5000 fax machine directly from WP 6.0 DOS or Office 4.0. This fax machine was developed by a Belgium telephone company and supports up to 20 phone lines. Every workstation loads the Distel CAS-TSR and a fax software package to send faxes to the Distel 5000. On the workstation, users load the Distel CAS-TSR and the FAXB driver from WP. This makes Fax Services accessible from within WP. When trying to send a fax, WP creates the necessary files in the CAS directory and also a fax file. However, the CAS command file describes the fax file as being type 0, ASCII (0=ascii, 1=pcx, 2=dcx). The CAS Gateway software from the Distel 5000 fax can handle type 1 or 2. When it looks at the fax file, the CAS command file isn't ASCII, but is a TIFF file. This means that WP says (incorrectly) that it is an ASCII file and outputs a TIFF file instead. Is there a way to configure the type of output file? The Distel software needs PCS or DCX file formats. Solutions: No. WordPerfect can send faxes only through the FaxBios driver from WordPerfect as a T4 (TIFF level 4 - multiple page TIFF) file. This is the standard that was defined for FaxBios. However, all network fax machines should have a print capture utility that captures output to the LPT1 or LTP2 port and redirects it to the network fax machine. This should allow users to fax data directly through WP 6.0. |
