NAME irFAXPrint, irFAXPrintText, irFAXBPrintText, irFAXPrintImage - queue a FAX for printing SYNOPSIS #include <irapi.h> int irFAXPrint (channel_id cid, const char *file); int irFAXPrintText (channel_id cid, const char *file); int irFAXBPrintText (channel_id cid, const char *buf, int count); int irFAXPrintImage (channel_id cid, const ir_fax_image *image); DESCRIPTION The FAX print functions queue a FAX object for printing. The cid is the channel id for which FAX printing is intended. The function irFAXPrint queues a FAX file, specified through file for printing. The FAX file is assumed to be a TIFF 6.0 file. The function irFAXPrintText queues a text file, specified through file for printing. The text file is automatically converted to a FAX image. The function irFAXBPrintText queues a text buffer pointed to by buf of length count for printing. The text buffer is automatically converted to a FAX image. The function irFAXPrintImage queues a FAX image as described by the ir_fax_image structure: typedef struct { const char *image; int image_type; const char *background; } ir_fax_image; Where image is a path name to the primary image file, image_type is either IRA_TEXT or IRA_TIFF for a text or TIFF file respectively, and background is a path name to a back- ground image file. The background image file must be a TIFF file. The background image printing is currently unsupported. Any number and type of FAX objects may be placed on the FAX queue. Once queued, the FAX(es) may be sent immediately via irFAXEnd(3IRAPI) or queued for printing out of the current call either immediately or at some future time via irFAXOutOfCall(3IRAPI). When a FAX printing function returns successfully, the library moves to the IRS_FAXPRINT_QUEUED state. When irFAXEnd(3IRAPI) returns successfully and FAX resources are available, the library moves to the IRS_FAXPRINTING state; when resources are pending the library moves to the IRS_FAXPRINT_PENDING state. A FAX print function may be called after irFAXEnd is called while the library is in the IRS_FAXPRINTING state. This allows an application to send multiple FAX jobs per call and to receive indication of completion of each individual FAX request. If irStop(3IRAPI) is called from the IRS_FAXPRINT_QUEUED state and no FAX job has been previously started via irFAXEnd, the outbound FAX queue will be cleared and the library will be immediately returned to the IRS_IDLE state. If irStop(3IRAPI) is called from the IRS_FAXPRINT_QUEUED state and a FAX job has been previously started via irFAXEnd, the outbound FAX queue will be cleared and the application must wait for the IRE_FAXPRINT_DONE event for the previously started FAX to complete the termination pro- cess. If irStop(3IRAPI) is called from the IRS_FAXPRINTING or IRS_FAXPRINT_PENDING state, the FAX request will be ter- minated. Applications must wait for IRE_FAXPRINT_DONE. If FAX delivery is not intended for the current call, the function irFAXOutOfCall(3IRAPI) queues the FAX for out of call delivery to a specific FAX destination at a specified time, etc. The library returns immediately to the IRS_IDLE state. EVENTS An IRE_FAXPRINT_DONE event is generated when all FAX requests preceding the irFAXEnd(3IRAPI) complete or an interrupt occurs which causes FAXing to stop. Event_mod1 will contain the FAX completion status. A separate IRE_FAXPRINT_DONE event will be generated for each FAX job started via irFAXEnd. RETURN VALUE IRR_OK is returned if the request is successful. IRR_FAIL is returned if an error occurs. ERROR irError is set as follows if an error occurs: IRER_INVALID if the cid is invalid or if buf or file is the NULL pointer. IRER_SYSERROR if a driver call or system call failure occurs (see irSysError for additional information) SEE ALSO irFAXEnd(3IRAPI), irFAXOutOfCall(3IRAPI), IrPARAMETERS(4IRAPI), IrEVENTS(4IRAPI).
