Subject: Using Screen Savers with WinFax
Situation:
==========
When sending and receiving faxes with a screen saver (or sceen blanker)
running, any of the following problems may occur:
- Your sent fax arrives muddled or garbled at the recipient's end.
- Automatic Reception is enabled, but WinFax does not pickup
incoming fax calls.
- When attempting to view received faxes, WinFax displays "Image
contains invalid data" periodically.
- WinFax displays "No communication from fax/modem" periodically.
Solution:
=========
Most screen savers work by monitoring the communication ports for
activity, which can disrupt WinFax operations. To avoid disruptions,
you must disable IRQ monitoring for your screen saver.
For example, to disable the monitoring feature in the Afterdark screen
saver:
1. Click on When in the Afterdark 1.0 dialog, or Setup in the
Afterdark 2.0 dialog.
2. Disable the system IQ activity monitor.
You cannot disable IRQ monitoring for all screen savers, such as the
Windows 3.1 screen saver, and the current releases of Intermission and
Idlewild. In these cases, turn the screen saver off while running WinFax.
For example, to turn off the Windows 3.1 screen saver:
1. Open the Control Panel in Windows Program Manager.
2. Double click on the Desktop icon.
3. In the Screen Saver section of the dialog, pull down the list of
screen saver names and select None.
4. Click on OK to save your change and exit the dialog.
To determine if your screen saver uses IRQ monitoring, and whether or
not you can disable this feature, contact the screen saver manufacturer
or its technical support department.
