The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax, version 3.0
SUMMARY
The Microsoft Mail Gateway to Fax transmits mail messages from Microsoft
Mail to fax machines and receives items sent from fax machines.
MORE INFORMATION
While the gateway is running, it uses the polling option set in the
PROFILE.GLB file to poll the FAX gateway mailbag and poll the fax
board for incoming messages.
If the gateway detects any items queued in the mailbag, it will
extract all the items queued (up to a maximum of 50), and place them
in the fax board queue one at a time. From there, the fax board will
transmit the items.
What the gateway does when it detects any items queued in the fax
board queue depends on the options set in the "FAXin" field of the
PROFILE.GLB file:
- Field is blank: The gateway leaves any incoming faxes in the fax
board queue. You can use the fax board software to manage the
queue.
- Select View in "FAXin": The gateway extracts all the items from the
queue and places the items in the mailbag defined in the
"Administrator."
- Select Spool in "FAXin": The gateway extracts all the items from
the queue and spools the items to the printer.
- Select View+Spool in "FAXin": The gateway sends mail items to both
the defined mailbox and the print spooler.
The print spooler is a program called PPB.EXE, located in the mail
executables directory. Before an incoming fax can be printed, a
printer driver must be generated by running the display program,
DISPLAY.EXE, from the directory where the fax gateway will be run. If
this is not done, the gateway will be unable to print.
