3.15 Setting Priorities

Some faxes are more urgent than others and sometimes you may want to push a certain fax to the head of the queue. CompuFax uses priority values to determine what fax to process next. These values range from 0 through 255, with 255 the highest and 0 the lowest priority.

When you send a fax without the / PRIORITY qualifier, it is assigned a default priority of, say, 100. Whether or not you are be able to set a higher priority depends on how the system has been set up, but you can certainly set it lower if you have fax to send that is less urgent than the others. In the example below, three faxes are submitted at different priorities:

$ FAX SEN D TESTFAX.2

$ FAX SEN D TESTFAX.2 / PRIORITY= 40 $ FAX SEN D TESTFAX.2 / PRIORITY= 120 $ FAX SHOW QUE

CompuFax queue report as of 10-JUN -1995 19:22:57.78

The time should be entered in the same format the DCL SHOW TIME command shows the date and time, except that if you enter both date and time, you must either have a colon between the date and time or, if you use a space instead, you must use quotes.

For example,

/AFTER= 12-FEB-1996:12:15 or / AFTER= "12-FEB-1996 12:15". Device TTA1: (Class 2), index 1:

ID User Priority State Activation Time 3 P_SMITH 120 Pending

1 P_SMITH 100 Pending

2 P_SMITH 40 Pending

3 FAX server queue entries

As you can see from the queue display, the queue entry with the highest priority is at the top of the queue and the entry with the lowest priority is at the bottom.

3.16 Logos and Letterheads

When sending official faxes, you may want your company's logo or letterhead to show at the top of the first page. Your System Manager may have defined a logo file that you can use for that purpose 8 .

The System Manager can configure CompuFax to add the logo to every fax, by default. If the logo is added by default, you can omit it with the / NOLOGO qualifier.

For example:

$ FAX SEN D TESTFAX.2 / N OLOGO

This chapter familiarized you with most of the SEND command options. The next chapter will add some other useful commands to your repertoire.

A logo file must always be T4 format and must be defined in the FAX$OPTIONS file.
