Managing Files
Eclipse FAX SE uses several different file types (a file type, also called a file format, is a method of compressing and storing bits of information). Comprehensive information on file types is outside the scope of this User's Guide, but you might find the information in the table below helpful.
Remember that every time you send or receive a PC fax, every time you fax a document to Eclipse FAX SE and save it as a file, and every time you choose File/New Page from the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, a file is added to your disk. Over time, these files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. Therefore, we recommend that you delete unwanted files frequently.
File Type | Filename | Explanations |
Extension | ||
DCX | .DCX | A document file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for sent and received PC faxes. This is |
|
| also the file type created when you choose File/New Page from the Eclipse FAX SE |
|
| menu bar. This file type is also used by other applications. |
PCX | .PCX | A page file type used by various applications for |
|
| save files in Eclipse FAX SE with a PCX file type to use or edit in other applications |
|
| that support this file type, such as Paintbrush, the graphics program that comes with |
|
| Windows. A PCX file can contain only one page, so if you save a |
|
| with this file type, Eclipse FAX SE will create one PCX file for each page. |
TIF | .TIF | A |
|
| SE to use in other applications that support this file type. (There are several variations of |
|
| the TIF standard, so other applications are not always able to read TIF files created in |
|
| Eclipse FAX SE.) |
Cover Page | .CVR | A file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for cover pages. (You cannot add a new cover page |
|
| by creating a file of this type, because each cover page requires an accompanying .CCF |
|
| file with specially coded information.) |
Letterhead | .LHD | Save files with this file type in order to use them as letterhead in Eclipse FAX SE. |
Second | .SND | Save files with this file type in order to use them as second sheets in Eclipse FAX SE. |
