5. I theabove works out OK, you should now be able to fax Postscript and PDF

files.If you are using XFAX 4.2a or later faxsend directly supportsfiles with .ps

and .pdf suffixrespectively. Please note that faxsend requires the Ghostscript

executable,gs, to be in the PATHand properly configured.

# faxsend 12345 test.pdf

If you are using an earlierversion you need to do the conversion separately.

# gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=xfaxhigh -sOutputFile=test.fax

test.pdf

# faxsend 12345 test.fax

10.2 Troubleshooting

If you areexpebriencing problems there are two common mistakes to be men-

tioned here:

1)You should run "make -f src/unixansi.mak install"so that the files Ghostscript

needsis placed in the proper locations. Among other files gs looks for gs_init.ps

in /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.00/lib.

2) Youneed the font files which are distributed in separatetar files. gs looks for

fonts in /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts.

The XFAXdriver for Ghostscript is provided "as is" without warranties and we

cannot guaranteesupport. However, we are helpful! Send your questions to sup-

port@nordicmessaging.se.
