- Try within the DosFax Lite Administrator the
- RECEIVE menu, then
- RECEIVE LOG ... then select the fax to be printed and
- PRINT FAX ... and select the pages to print.

- Perhaps the parameters in the file printer.cap didn't match the printer
- exactly or the init string or emulation mode is wrong. Especially the
- horizontal resolution/line length could cause this effect, as some
- printers switch to text mode after line wrap, if graphics would exhaust
- the line length.

-
- Get a VGA adapter and monitor and try WinFax Lite, which is bundled with
- the Scout plus too.
