An HP LaserJet or equivalent printer is required to print T4 files.

a FAX SHOW LICENSE command (or a FAX SHOW CONVERSION command.) Use the FAX SHOW
DEVICE/ FULL command to see whether or not the / RECEIVE option is enabled on your fax device(s).
If you have several fax devices, you may not wish to enable Receive on all of them, since most installations do
