/ DEVICE Format:

/ DB Format:

Description:

/ DATABASE Format:

Format:	/ CONVERSION (D)
	/ NOCONVERSION
Description:	This qualifier controls the display of the queue of entries which are waiting for the

conversion of one or more of the files involved in the FAX. When a FAX containing one or more PostScript files is sent the files must first be converted to PostScript format. Depending on the FAX devices being used it also may be necessary to convert files which are in printer (ASCII) format. The FAX is placed in a separate queue for this and will not show on the device queue display. When the conversion is complete the resultant file will be queued to an individual device and will show in the device queue.

/ DB (D)

/ NODB

This qualifier is a synonym for the / DATABASE qualifier.

/ DATABASE (D)

/ NODATABASE

Description: This qualifier includes the database queue in the report. / NO-DATABASE excludes the database queue from the report. FAX maintains a queue, where requests that involve a database lookup are kept. When the database application has satisfied a lookup request, an entry is made in the device queue for the device where the FAX will actually be sent. A single lookup request can result in multiple device queue entries. The default shows only the device queue entries.

/ DEVICE= (n, ...) (D)

/ NODEVICE

Description: This is used to limit the report to specific fax devices. The fax index is that shown on a SHOW DEVICE report. If this qualifier is not present, all devices are shown. / NODEVICE excludes the device queues from the report. The State field in the SHOW ENTRY display shows what each queue entry is doing at the present time.

The states are:

Aborting: The entry has been deleted and is in the process of being removed from the queue.

Idle: The entry is in the queue waiting for the opportunity to become active.

Lookup: The entry has issued a database lookup request and is waiting for a response.

Dial: The phone is being dialed for this entry.

Xmit: The document is currently being sent.

Done: The entry is complete and is in the process of being removed from the queue.

Convert: The file format of one or more files in the entry is being converted.

The currently active entry will show Lookup, Dial, Xmit or Convert.

/ FULL
Format:	/ FULL
	/ NOFULL (D)
Description:	This qualifier is used to request a long format report. The default is a summary report.
/ OUTPUT
Format:	/ OUTPUT= filespec
Description:	This is used to redirect the output of the SHOW command to a file. If this qualifier is not

present, the output is displayed on the screen. If a log file is already open, it will be closed first. The LOG_OUTPUT command can also be used to open a log file.
