—

—

-f fax_file

Specifies the name of the file you want to be queued for fax transmission

The field has the following requirements:

• You can specify the entire pathname of the file, or a file name under /usr/faxdb/FR/WORKFAX
• The file must be either in ASCII text or in TIFF Class F format
• A fax loaded through the Loading and Printing Screen is in the TIFF Class F format

-n delivery_number

Enter the telephone number to which the fax is delivered

A total of 32 characters can be entered for the delivery number.

The following characters can be used in the FAX Delivery Number field: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, asterisk ( * ), pound sign ( # ), comma ( , ), and hyphen ( - ).

Using a comma ( , ) causes a 1-second pause during dialing on lines in all equipment groups. For longer pauses, multiple commas can be used. For lines in analog equipment groups, using a hyphen (-) causes a short (0.1-second) pause during dialing. The hyphen (-) cannot be used on digital (T1) lines.

The pauses are useful in situations where a delay is required in the dial string, for example, when dialing out through a restricted trunk that requires a pause before input of a PIN (personal identification) number. For example, the following entry includes a 6-second delay between the dial string and the 5-digit PIN (12345): "9-6145551212, , , , , , 12345"

-t delivery_time_in_hhmm

Enter the time the out-of-call (as opposed to the current call) fax should be delivered

Specify a 2-digit hour ( hh ) and a 2-digit minute ( hhmm ) using the 24-hour clock, or use the string immediate.

If it is practical, specify a fax delivery time that is outside normal business hours to reduce transmission costs.

-i retry_interval_in_minutes

Enter the interval (in minutes) between fax retries for a failed fax delivery

—

-c retry_count

The string must be contained in quotes
