This will send the file called: DEMO.PCL to two fax numbers. The first number will only be
sent over FaxPress line 1. The second fax number can be dialed on any available FaxPress
line. Note that the actual fax to both these numbers will appear exactly the same, since
they both share the same settings parameters.
Example #3
Multiple attachments per job are supported via multiple ##FILE or ##FILENAME direc-
tives. Every recipient will receive every file. in the following scenario
##FILE attachment1.doc
##DIAL 14088521234
##FILE attachment2.doc
##DIAL 14088524567
Both files will be sent to both numbers.
Job Data Files
After the FaxPress has been configured to query a drop directory, the application can put
the job data and control files in the directory. The data files should be put into the directory
before the control files. This sequence of the data files being deposited into the
Drop Directory before the control files is crucial, and cannot be emphasized
enough. The names of data files must be DOS format (up to 8 characters long, followed
by an extension of up to three characters). The originators of drop directory jobs must en-
sure that names assigned to the control and data files are unique within their directory
for at least the duration of the job’s processing. The job data files in a drop directory are
distinguished from the other types of files in this directory by their filename and extension.
Each job data file consists of one or more pages of fax image data in TIFF format. It can
also be in any native file format that the FaxPress Premier conversion service can handle.
Specific applications associated with these file formats must be installed on the Premier.
Job Notice Files
During the processing of each drop directory job, a FaxPress provides status feedback to
the originator through ASCII job notice files. Each job notice file uses the name of its job
control file, and a three character decimal extension. These extensions start with 000 and
continue up to 999 in chronological order. Every status (Failed, Retry, Sent and Active)
is reported in a separate notice file. At the end of a notice sequence, the FaxPress will cre-
ate a drop directory file with the control file name and the special extension: DAT. The
.DAT file contains the serial number of the FaxPress that handled the job. The appearance
of the .DAT file signals the conclusions of a notice file sequence. The originating application
is responsible for cleaning up these notice files.
The format of a notice file is:
