.8 Parameter "Images"

A substantial function of our fax software is the possibility to include a footer or/and header graphic created from a text editor or from CoMa´s own editor, which will then give a professional look to your documents. If you have your own letterheads these can be scanned into the programme and used. This will create a great impression on those receiving your mail.

We have included 4 header and footer logos which you can mix and match at your will, or as said before create your own. A point of interest is that your signature can be a footer logo by using a scanner. All adjustments, (paths and offsets), are made in the dialogue box CoMa/Images, this will avoid text being mixed with the header or footer. 

Offsets are given in Pixel which makes placing the graphics more exact than lines because the width of the line differs from font to font.

 

Adjusting the Header and Footer

To adjust the header and/or footer logo which you want to use proceed as follows:

At first set the path for the graphics.

For this explanation we will assume that you have prepared a text using the text editor, now proceed as follows: Leave via the "enter key" from the number block. The text will be displayed in a fax window still without the graphics. Open the pull-down-menu "Fax Image" and select with a single click of the mouse button the header and footer that you require. These will be displayed in future as the default until such time as you change them. Once you have selected the header and footer and made any adjustments to the margins you may require you must select "save parameter". You can now leave via the ok button.

Now a few tips to create these graphics:

CoMa can only use graphics in PICT format.

If you use more or less than 200 dpi CoMa scales the graphic to 200 dpi.

Creating a header with Claris Works

First create your header/footer using a document of Claris Works and store it as a graphic in PICT format. If you use a claris draw-document all the text will be saved as vector-grafics. So it is no problem for CoMa to scale this document as a fax page.

Creating a header/footer from an EPS-file

A very elegant way to a Pixel graphic is the graphic format Encapseled PostScript. Many DTP programmes like QuarkXpress can export the pages in EPS-format. The page can then be read by Photoshop and stored as a PICT-file. Photoshop asks in which resolution the conversion to pixel graphic should be made. To make sense, use here 200 dpi!

A page created by QuarkXpress can therefore be easily converted into a header/footer, a fax page or advertisment for your polling folder.
