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.

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 single-page graphic images. You can

 

 

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 multiple-page file

 

 

with this file type, Eclipse FAX SE will create one PCX file for each page.

TIF

.TIF

A commonly-used file type for graphic images. Save files as TIF files in Eclipse FAX

 

 

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.
