QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1
I ran COMTEST.COM and read the COMTEST.TXT file that it generated.
What does all that "gibberish" mean?
A1
OUT: mean OUT to your Fax/Modem. That is the way FaxMail for Windows
talks to your Fax/Modem.
IN: mean IN from your Fax/Modem. That is the way your Fax/Modem talks
to FaxMail for Windows.
Typical dialog between FaxMail for Windows and your Fax/Modem follows:
OUT: AT+FCLASS=? }FaxMail for Windows to Fax/Modem; What Class are you?
IN: 0,1,2 }Fax/Modem to FaxMail for Windows;
}I am Class 0 (Data,BBS), Class 1 Fax and Class 2 Fax.
IN: OK }Means your Fax/Modem supports said function.
IN: ERROR }Means your Fax/Modem does not supports said function.
See A8.
Q2
When I am booting and while my AUTOEXEC.BAT is loading I hear two BEEPs
and the Fax/Modem-Driver says it is not loaded.
A2
If your Fax/Modem is turned-off or hung, or the Fax/Modem-Driver you
chose is not compatible with your Fax/Modem or computer, the
Fax/Modem-Driver will make a BEEP and fail to load.
Q3
FaxMail for Windows does not run or does not run properly.
A3
If you are currently using another Fax-Program, you will have to
disable or remove it before using FaxMail for Windows as two
Fax-Programs can not share the same Fax/Modem or run concurrently.
Q4
None of the Fax/Modem-Drivers work.
A4
Be sure you have the latest Version. FaxMail for Windows is being
updated continuously. We may have a new Fax/Modem-Drivers that will
work for you.
Q5
I set the sound/volume/retries but my Fax/Modem ignores my changes.
A5
The DoveFax and some other Fax/Modem do not support volume and
speaker manipulation.
Q6
I did the INSTALL.EXE and re-booted, but the Fax/Modem-Driver didn't
even attempt to load from my AUTOEXEC.BAT.
A6
FaxMail for Windows put a Fax/Modem-Driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Look
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and see if you have a menu or jump command ahead
of the Fax/Modem-Driver. If you do, move the Fax/Modem-Driver to a
place in your AUTOEXEC.BAT where they will load, preferably, first.
The Fax/Modem-Driver looks something like this:
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
NOTE: If you are using the FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class
Fax/Modem-Driver, there will be nothing placed in you AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Q7
I removed or commented the Fax/Modem-Driver from my AUTOEXEC.BAT and
now when I try to run ant Windows program that has a print-routine in
it, I get a message saying:
This Function requires a Fax/Modem-Driver to be
loaded before entering Windows.
1. Did you re-boot after installing FaxMail for
Windows? If not, re-boot the computer now.
2. You may have to use the FaxMail for Windows
Change Fax/Modem-Driver command and install
a different Fax/Modem-Driver.
A7
If you had a power failure while in Windows or you crashed out of
Windows while FaxMail for Windows was active, your
Default-Printer-Driver may have been replaced with the FaxMail for
Windows Fax-Converter ("Convert to Fax").
Solution:
Close the FaxMail for Windows "Control" Program by clicking on the
<System> button, <QUIT> button. Load the Windows Control Panel
(found in "Accessories" Group or "Main" Group), select Printers and
choose the Printer-Driver that you want as your Default-Printer-Driver.
Then reload the FaxMail for Windows "Control" Program
Note:
When you have the FaxMail for Windows Control loaded and the PRINTER OR
FAX TOGGLE is toggled to FAX, Windows swaps from your Default-Printer-
Driver to "Convert to Fax". When you toggle back to PRINTER or exit
Windows, Windows swaps back to your Default-Printer-Driver. If you
crash out of Windows, Windows does not get a chance to swap back, so
the next time you enter Windows it thinks that "Convert to Fax" is your
Default-Printer-Driver and when FaxMail for Windows makes it's swap it
swaps "Convert to Fax" for "Convert to Fax".
Q8
I do not know what kind of Fax/Modem I have. Who made my Fax/Modem?
I want to know more about my Fax/Modem. Is it Class 1, Class 2, etc?
A8
To learn more about your four COM-Ports (COM?-IRQ?), exit Windows and
run FaxModem Wizard, COMTEST.COM, after reading "USING COMTEST.COM"
in the FaxMail for Windows README. COMTEST.COM is included with
FaxMail for Windows.
Q9
I tried the Fax/Modem-Driver that was suggested for my Fax/Modem, but
it did not work.
A9
Run: FaxModem Wizard, COMTEST.COM and read the COMTEST.TXT report it
generates. See A8.
Notes:
*The Universal Fax/Modem-Drivers are designed to overcome special
Problems.
*You should turn your Fax/Modem off-on just before each test. In the
case of an internal Fax/Modem, turn your computer off-on.
Q10
I called the ElectraSoft Fax phone number 713-499-5939,11,11,11,11
and it did not work.
A10
Call voice 713-261-0307 first to make sure that it is available and
not being used for R&D. BTW, the ,11,11,11,11 tells us to route the
call to our Fax/Modem. If you want to call our Computer Technical
Support (CTS) BBS dial 713-499-5939 without the ,11,11,11,11.
If you have a pulse-dial-phone, use 713-499-8423 to fax ElectraSoft.
Q11
I am in Windows and I try to print but the FaxMail for Windows
"FaxMail Convert to Fax" intercepts the print-job and wants to send it
to a remote Fax-Machine.
A11
Click on the <System-Button> and then on the
<PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button.
Notes:
*If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button has a check by it and it says
"FAX IS ACTIVE", then the print-job will be printed on a remote
Fax-Machine. If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button is not checked and
it says "PRINTER IS ACTIVE" the print-job will be printed on your
default printer.
*When you toggle the PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE, FaxMail for Windows swaps
the Print-Driver found in your WIN.INI form your normal default to the
'FaxMail for Windows Convert to Fax(FM_PN_DX.DRV)' Print-Driver.
So...If the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button is set to the Convert to Fax
("FAX IS ACTIVE") mode and you re-boot with a (press <Alt+Ctrl+Del>),
turn the power off-on or power failure, the Convert to
Fax(FM_PN_DX.DRV) will be left in your WIN.INI file. As a result,
toggling the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> button will switching "back and
forth" between the Convert to Fax and Convert to Fax Print-Driver and
your actual default Print-Driver will be lost.
Solution:
If/when this happens:
1. Click on the <System-Button>
2. Click on the <QUIT> FaxMail for Windows button.
3. Load the Windows "Control Panel" program.
4. Load the "Printers" program.
5. Highlight your normal Printer-Driver.
6. Click on <Set As Default Printer>.
7. Click on <Close>.
8. Load the FaxMail for Windows "Control" program to reload FaxMail for
Windows back-ground operation again and all will be normal again.
Q12
As I am using FaxMail for Windows, a message keeps popping up; asking
me if I want to allow the system to write to FM_DS_IN.CFG and the
FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver FAXMODEM.CFG file.
A12
You have a Virus detection program that is not working properly.
Solution:
Remove the "Virus detection" software from your AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or
elsewhere.
Note:
The FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver and Windows to
Fax/Modem-Driver Interface both write to configuration(.CFG) files
during each session to track the ever changing "dynamically-flowing"
defaults that make it easier for you to operate.
Q13
U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4 Class 1 Fax/Modem Problems and Solutions.
A13
There are several Fax/Modem sold by U.S Robotics that are sold under
the name of U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4 Class 1. For that reason
there are more than one method of solving the problems, depending on
which one you have.
First:
a. Use a text editor, such as Windows Notepad or SYSEDIT, to open your
SYSTEM.INI file. For Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11, under [Boot],
be sure it looks like this.
[Boot]
COMM.DRV=COMM.DRV
There are other high performance Modem drivers that can be used
such as COMM.DRV=CYBERCOM.DRV. You can get a high performance
Modem driver from the ElectraSoft BBS in the FaxMail for Windows
Support file section.
b. Under [386Enh] add these lines.
[386Enh]
COMBOOSTTIME=30
COMnFIFO=2
COMnBUFFER=4096
COMnTXSIZE=16
COMnRXSIZE=8
COMnPROTOCOL=XOFF
COMnTXFIFO=1
COMnRXTRIGGER=8
Where n is the COM-Port that your U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4
Class 1 Fax/Modem is on.
c. Save the changes, exit Windows and re-enter Windows. Upon
re-enter Windows, the changes will be in effect.
Method 1
Select <Fax>, <SetUp> and change the <Extended Fax/Modem
Initialization String> to: AT&F&C1&D2&H1&R2S7=60S36=0
Method 2
Select <Fax>, <SetUp> and change the <Extended Fax/Modem
Initialization String> to: AT&F&C1&D2&H2&I2S7=60S36=0
Note:
There are several versions of the U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4 Class 1
Fax/Modems that may not work properly with FaxMail for Windows. To
find out if you have one of these Fax/Modems.
Load a terminal program such as the Windows Terminal program. Set
terminal to the COM-Port where your U.S. Robotics Sportster 14.4
Class 1 Fax/Modem is, and type:
ATI7 <Enter>
Part of the response will be the Supervisor Date for the firmware of
the Fax/Modem. If you receive any one of the following dates:
2/18/94, 4/21/94 or 6/27/94
call U.S. Robotics at (708) 982-5151 and ask for a firmware update.
If the Supervisor Date is:
10/29/93 or 11/16/93
remove the phone wire from the back of your Fax/Modem and type:
AT+FCLASS=1 <Enter>
ATX3D <Enter>
You should hear the Fax-Tone every three seconds. If you do not,
call U.S. Robotics at (708) 982-5151 and ask for a firmware update.
Q14
I am prone to losing dialog boxes behind other boxes and windows.
A14
If you lose a dialog boxes while using FaxMail for Windows, simple
reload from button or ICON. Actually when you try to reload a lost
dialog box, the new instance detects the old instance and sends a
message to it that brings it to the top and then does not load itself.
Because you get back the one you lost, you do not lose any of your
work.
Q15
I have pulse-dial-phone and can not get tone dial in my area.
A15
Click on the "SetUp" button and you can select "Tone Dial" or "Pulse".
Q16
I Viewed a Fax but when I tried to Print it, the paper came out of my
Printer blank.
A16
Be sure your printer is set to Portrait and *not* Landscape.
Q17
When I use the FaxMail for Windows Cover-Page feature; How wide can I
make it? And; What about the left and right margins?
A17
No more than 72 characters wide. You do not have to concern
yourself with the left or right margin as there is a 3/8" left and
right margin built into FaxMail for Windows NotePad for you. This
will permit compatibility on Fax Machines as well as Fax/Modem to
Fax/Modem to Printer supports.
Note:
Do *NOT* use the <Tab> in the a Cover-Page file (*.CVR).
Q18
When building a Cover-Page; Where should I put the Logo?
A18
Go into the FaxMail for Windows NotePad and open a Cover-Page file
(*.CVR) and put your cursor on the first line. Select Fields and Logo.
Be sure that the <Logo-Field> is on the first line in the Cover-Page
file, by itself, with no other text on that line. When the Send-Fax
program processes the Cover-Page file, it will use the information on
that line and then remove that line, so your second line will become
the first.
Q19
When I want to Fax, I have to go to the <System> button and toggle the
<PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> to FAX and when I want to Print to my default
Printer, I have to toggle the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE> to PRINTER. Why
couldn't that be done automatically?
A19
Some Windows applications get a HANDLE to the Printer-Device-Context
upon entry and when you go to print, they use that HANDLE. If we were
to suddenly swap from the default Printer-Driver to the
"Convert to Fax" Driver, the current application would crash when it
tried to use the obsolete HANDLE.
Note:
FaxMail for Windows does send out a global message to all applications
every time it swaps from the "Convert to Fax" to your
"Default-Printer-Driver" or back again, but not all applications pay
attention to it, so you may have to toggle the <PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE>
before loading these applications.
Q20
My Fax/Modem-Driver loads all right but when it tries to send/receive;
the Fax/Modem hangs up immediately.
A20A
You may have the phone-line plugged into the wrong jack on the back of
your Fax/Modem.
A20B
You may have to Change Fax/Modem-Drivers.
A20C
You may have a hardware conflict. If so, call ElectraSoft and they
will help resolve it.
Q21
I went into a Windows application and tried to send a Fax using the
FaxMail for Windows <CONVERT TO FAX> option, but the application just
wants to print to my default printer.
A21
AMI Pro, WordPerfect and some other Windows applications have their
Printer-Driver information stored in an ?.INI file and are not willing
to swap their Printer-Driver on the fly.
Solution:
Before using the <CONVERT TO FAX> button, go to <Files>,
<Printer Setup> and choose "Convert to Fax" as your Printer-Driver.
Now the <CONVERT TO FAX> will work.
Q22
I chose
"Universal, Hayes, Rockwell, Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM" the first time I
installed FaxMail for Windows and everything worked fine. I noticed
that when I chose "Hayes" that the INSTALL.EXE used FM_ROCK1.COM
Fax/Modem-Driver. Later, I installed FaxMail for Windows on another
computer, it also had a Hayes. This time I chose "Universal, Rockwell,
Class 1 -- FM_ROCK1.COM" because this selection uses the same
FM_ROCK1.COM Fax/Modem-Driver but it would not work.
A22
When the Fax/Modem-Driver is being installed, it is modified by the
INSTALL.EXE. These modifications will differ from one manufacturer to
the next.
Solution:
Select the Fax/Modem-Driver by manufacturer rather than by name and be
sure to use the INSTALL.EXE to install rather than coping the Drivers.
If you copy the files onto your HardDrive, FaxMail for Windows will
not work.
Q23
I ran FaxModem Wizard, COMTEST.COM. When I read the COMTEST.TXT report
that it generated, I found a lot of OUT:s to my Fax/Modem but no IN:s.
After installation the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Drivers will not
load. See A8.
A23
OUT: mean OUT to your Fax/Modem. That is the way FaxMail for Windows
talks to your Fax/Modem.
IN: mean IN from your Fax/Modem. That is the way your Fax/Modem talks
to FaxMail for Windows.
Check with your Fax/Modem manual and make sure that you know for sure
which COM-IRQ is selected. Also check for COM-Port and IRQ Conflicts.
COM-Port Conflicts, assuming we are working with internal Fax/Modems:
You can not skip COM-Ports when installing "COM using" devices. For
example, if your computer came with a COM1-IRQ4 and a COM2-IRQ3
(very common) and you, now, buy a Fax/Modem; you can not configure
your Fax/Modem for COM4. You must put it on COM3-IRQ?(find and use an
unused one) or disable COM2 on your IO-Board and configure your
Fax/Modem for COM2-IRQ3.
IRQ Conflicts present themselves when for example you have a mouse on
COM1-IRQ4 (the proper configuration) and you configure your Fax/Modem
for COM3-IRQ4. Normally COM3 should/would use IRQ4; but it assumes
that COM1 is not using IRQ4 and that nothing else is using IRQ4. If
this type of "IRQ Conflict" happens to you; simple set your Fax/Modem
to: COM3 and use another UN-USED IRQ such as COM3-IRQ5, COM3-IRQ7,
COM3-IRQ2. IRQ4 is usually used by COM1 so you should *not*, normally,
use COM3-IRQ4. For details, read "USING COMTEST.COM" in the README.
To configure your COM-Ports or Fax/Modem you will have to remove (or
get a professional to) your device, get the manual and move jumpers or
set DIP-switches. For details on this subject, read the FaxMail for
Windows "USING COMTEST.COM" section of the README.
Q24
My Fax/Modem is *not* listed in the FaxMail for Windows installation
Fax/Modem Selections. I ran COMTEST.COM. I know that I chose the
correct COM-IRQ yet when I read the COMTEST.TXT file, that COMTEST
generates, I find that it only OUT:s to my Fax/Modem but did not IN:
from the Fax/Modem.
During installation I tried some of the other Fax/Modem-Drivers yet
when I boot, the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Drivers will not load.
The Windows Dynamic All Class Fax/Modem-Drivers doesn't work either.
See A8.
A24
Some Fax/Modems do not have Fax capabilities built in their firmware.
These Fax/Modems have programs that you load into them just before
using them. Before using the Fax/Modems, you select and load the
appropriate PRE-FAX-PROGRAM and then load the Fax/Modem-Driver.
FaxMail for Windows puts its Fax/Modem-Driver on the first line in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT; so you will have to move the line(s) that load the
PRE-FAX-PROGRAM into your Fax/Modem ahead of the FaxMail for Windows
Fax/Modem-Driver. Read the next Question and Answer for a specific
example.
Q25
Digicom Connection 14.4+Fax or P. C. LOGIC FAX144C, FAX144DM
A25
Unlike most Fax/Modems, {Digicom Connection 14.4+Fax} does not have
its Class 1 capabilities in its firmware but rather it is loaded.
The software to TRANSFORM this Fax/Modem into a CLASS 1 Fax/Modem
come with the Fax/Modem. It has to be loader each time you boot your
computer and *BEFORE* you load the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver
(FM_ROCK1.COM) that is found in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Because this
installation places FM_ROCK1.COM in you AUTOEXEC.BAT on the first line,
you will have to go into your AUTOEXEC.BAT and move the lines that load
the TRANSFORMation software so it will be loaded before the
FM_ROCK1.COM Fax/Modem-Driver. When you are finished, your
AUTOEXEC.BAT should look something like this:
Example 1:
CD \SMODEM {Change Directory to where Digicom keeps files
DL FAX144C1.DSI {Download Class 1 TRANSFORM software to Fax/Modem
CD \ {Change Directory back to the Root Directory
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK1.COM{Load the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver
Example 2:
CD \DMODEM {Change Directory to where P.C. LOGIC keeps files
DL FAX144C.CAR {Download Class 1 TRANSFORM software to Fax/Modem
CD \ {Change Directory back to the Root Directory
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK1.COM{Load the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver
Q26
My GVC, FM-144HVBIS/R1, V1.61, won't work properly with any of the
Fax/Modem-Drivers.
A26
If you have a GVC, FM-144HVBIS/R1 and the version is below V2.00, call
GVC Tech-Support at (201) 579-2954 and they will upgrade your
Fax/Modem.
To find out what "Model, Revision, Version" you have, run COMTEST.COM
included with FaxMail for Windows, read the COMTEST.TXT file that it
generates and look for the following lines:
OUT: AT+FREV? }Ask Fax/Modem, what Factory Revision.
IN: AT+FREV? }Fax/Modem echoes back (acknowledge).
IN: FM-144HVBIS/R1 V1.61 }Model, Revision, Version. (Defective)
IN: MODEM CHIP : ROCKWELL RC144DP}Rockwell Class 2 Fax/Modem Chip.
IN: FAX CLASS 2 }Rockwell Class 2 Fax Support.
IN: OK }Command processed ok.
Note: The Version here is V1.61 which is less than V2.00. This
customer needs an upgrade. See A8.
Q27
My "Supra FAX Modem" does not work right.
A27
Maybe you chose the wrong Fax/Modem-Driver. Some Supras work best on
"Supra FAX Modem, Class 1,2(1) -- FM_ROCK1.COM"
and others work best on
"Supra FAX Modem Plus, Class 1,2(2) -- FM_ROCK2.COM"
If you feel you may need to change the Driver, look in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT to see which you chose and then run Change
Fax/Modem-Driver and choose the other when you get to the
Fax/Modem-Driver selection Window.
Q28
My "HP Deskjet 500C" takes 30 minutes per page to print a Fax. ! HELP !
A28
The slowness is due to the "HP Deskjet 500C" Printer-Driver.
Use the Microsoft Windows "HP Deskjet 500" Printer-Driver for printing
Fax. The suffix C stands for color. Faxes are black and white and
should only take about 30 seconds per page on the "HP Deskjet 500"
Printer-Driver.
Q29
Does the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver LH (LoadHigh)?
A29
Yes, the "LH " tells your computer to load the Fax/Modem-Driver high:
LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
If you want them to load into conventional memory, remove the "LH "
to make it look like this:
C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
Q30
Windows keeps asking if it should take control of the COM-Port that I
have my Fax/Modem on?
A30
Load the Windows Control Panel (found in "Accessories" Group or "Main"
Group), select 386 Enhanced, high-light your COM-Port and select Never
Warn.
( ) Always Warn.
(*) Never Warn.
( ) Idle (in sec.)
Q31
My Modem seems to have some sort of conflict while in Windows.
A31
Check your Windows COM-IRQ setting. Here is the step-by-step
directions:
Load <Control Panel (Found in Accessories on Main Group)>,
<Ports>,
select your port,
<Settings>,
<Advanced>,
Set <Base I/O Port Address> to:
If your Fax/Modem is on COM1, Set to: 03F8
If your Fax/Modem is on COM2, Set to: 02F8
If your Fax/Modem is on COM3, Set to: 03E8
If your Fax/Modem is on COM4, Set to: 02E8
Set <Interrupt Request> to:
If your Fax/Modem is on COM1-IRQ4, Set to: 4
If your Fax/Modem is on COM2-IRQ3, Set to: 3
If your Fax/Modem is on COM3-IRQ5, Set to: 5
If your Fax/Modem is on COM4-IRQ7, Set to: 7
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. . . . . . . . . .
OK,
OK,
Close.
Q32
When using "FaxMail Convert to Fax" with programs such Notepad the font
is replace with a substitute.
A32
When the Windows FM_FAX.DRV (Print Driver) Scans for a font, it may
select the wrong one if they have similarities. To avoid this you
need put your fonts in alphabetical order. To do this, open your
WIN.INI (usually in C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI. Your fonts are listed under
[font] like this:
[fonts]
Arial (TrueType)=ARIAL.FOT
Arial Bold (TrueType)=ARIALBD.FOT
Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)=ARIALBI.FOT
Arial Italic (TrueType)=ARIALI.FOT
Courier (TrueType)=GSTCOURM.FOT
Courier Bold (TrueType)=GSTCOUBD.FOT
Courier Bold Italic (TrueType)=GSTCOUBI.FOT
Courier Italic (TrueType)=GSTCOUIT.FOT
I saw this problem occur in a WIN.INI that was as follows:
[fonts]
WP Greek Courier (TrueType)=WPCO08N_.FOT
. . .
. . . (Dots symbolize more lines)
. . .
Courier (TrueType)=GSTCOURM.FOT
Courier Bold (TrueType)=GSTCOUBD.FOT
Courier Bold Italic (TrueType)=GSTCOUBI.FOT
Courier Italic (TrueType)=GSTCOUIT.FOT
. . .
. . .
. . .
Q33
I have a problem that is not covered here.
A33
Most likely there is either a solution to your problem, or a newer
version of FaxMail for Windows does not have the problem. Contact
ElectraSoft at 713-261-0307.
