5. Receiving faxes
Receivinga fax is simpler than sending one. It does not require any special effort
bythe user. The faxmaster receives faxes in the background and sendsa message
to the systemadministration and possibly other users when this is done. The fax
is placedin a queue for received faxes and can be printed out with the command
faxprint.
What is alsonecessary is that the reception function is included in your license
agreementand that the keywords SEND_ONLY are not shown in the configura-
tion file, ETCDIR/config.

5.1 Automatic printing of incoming faxes

Incomingfaxes can be automatically sent to a printer by defining the keyword
AUTOPRINT inthe configuration file. The format is AUTOPRINT=“com-
mand”,whereby command is something which can receive data and forward it to
a printer.E.g.:
AUTOPRINT=”| lp -d LASER”
this takesthe printer data and sends it on to the 1p command via a pipe.
The data can also be savedin a file or similar by
AUTOPRINT=”>>/tmp/file”
