Problem

Symptoms: How do fax boards handle graphics? Which ones does WPCorp support? Solutions: Most fax boards require that the document or graphic be in a bit-mapped format. For a user to be able send information through the fax board to someone else, they must have the software that allows them to do this. The manufacturer of the fax board often does not provide the software. Users must go to a dealer and purchase it.

The fax software is what controls how the information is sent to the fax board. As an example, most fax software comes with a fax driver, much like a printer driver. Currently, there are no DOS printer drivers for fax software; they are all Windows printer drivers. In WP, a user would select this fax driver, then print the file. At that point, the fax software takes over and the file is sent. Sometimes a print to disk file is required. Other fax software requires a print to disk file with an HP LaserJet II printer selected. Some of the fax drivers do not support faxing graphics.

Basically, if users are running into problems, they need to consult the documentation that came with the faxing software, check with their software vendor to see if there is a more current release, or check their fax driver log that the software keeps for errors or instructions.
