-
- --- Checking modem compatibility
-
- GFI does not recommend using class 1 modems as fax server devices. If you wish
- to use a particular modem, you must check whether it is a class 2 or 2.0 compatible
- You can do this by issueing the AT+FCLASS=? command in terminal. If it returns 2 or
- 2.0 as one of the supported modes, it is either class 2 or class 2.0 compatible.
- If it returns only 0 and 1, then you can not use this modem with FAXmaker.
-
- ------ If you are using the cover page feature....
-
- FAXmaker's cover pages are created from RTF files (32 bit server only), using
- a feature of windows which can contain a bug. This results in text being clipped
- during conversion. You can solve this bug by following the steps outlined below,
- or you can switch on scaling in the general setup dialog of the server.
- However it is preferable to follow the steps below, because if you do *NOT*
- use scaling you get a better quality and performance.
-
- To solve the problem if your fax server runs on Windows NT
-
- Install service pack 4, available from Microsoft's web site.
-
- To solve the problem if your fax server runs on Windows 95
-
- Install service pack 1, available from Microsoft's web site. Then ensure
- that when designing your cover pages, that your message text is justified.

-
- --- Installing and ISDN board as a fax device
-
- To use an ISDN-board, Faxmaker needs an ISDN-interface provided by your ISDN board
- manufacturer. This DLL is the interface between Windows and the ISDN board. It is used
- by faxmaker to send and receive faxes. Usually, the dll is called 'CAPI2032.DLL'.
- In case it has another name, faxmaker has to know it. You can do this by changing the
- mserver.ini file located in the <faxmaker>\system directory by changing
-
- [Capi20]
- DllName=CAPI2032.DLL
-
- into
- [Capi20]
- DllName=<dllname to be used>
-
- Be sure that this dll is installed in your windows\directory or windows\system directory.
