Fax Mail Service

Overview

4.1.4Fax Logo

Your system administrator can provide you with various templates that appear on every page of a fax message. Like the cover page, different variable components can be added to the tem- plate. You can use the Client Assistant (see Section 2.9.12, “Fax Forms”) to define the template that is to be used in your faxes. Alternatively you can consult your system administrator in this regard.

The fax cover page and template can be combined.

This function only works if your Internet e-mail address in your mail client corresponds to the STMP address of your Xpressions mailbox and if the conversion of text to fax format is per- formed on the server.

4.1.5Fax Display

Incoming faxes are saved in Xpressions in an internal fax format. This fax format can also be displayed by the HiPath Xpressions client. Incoming faxes must be converted to a suitable for- mat, however, if these faxes are to be displayed by a different mail client. Your system admin- istrator configures one of the graphics formats listed below as the default conversion format on your system. This format is globally valid. An additional viewer software may be required if the mail client used cannot display this graphics format. You can have the system administrator set a different graphics format specially for your mailbox to facilitate access via IMAP4 or POP3.

You should always try to convert all mailbox data to the same graphics format since this places the least demands on the system.

The conversion process supports the following graphics formats:

BMP	Windows bitmap
BMP_COL	Windows bitmap with trilinear grayscale interpolation
DCX	Multi-page PCX format (standard Microsoft fax format)
JPG	JPEG format with 9 grayscales
TIF	One-page compressed TIF fax format
TIF_BMP	Uncompressed TIF bitmap format
TG3	Multi-page compressed TIF fax format
