- <B>RightFAX NT v4.02 README (11- Sep-95)
-
- <R>============================================================================
- <R>This version has some major additions:
- <N>
- New Print Driver Technology
- Previously, RightFAX had NO PM print driver, NO NT print driver nor
- any Win95 print driver. Now all 3 have print drivers! All three
- require running a setup routine, located in the respective
- \RIGHTFAX\CLIENT directories located beneath the RightFAX structure.
- These installs will make changes to your local configuration to allow the
- print drivers to work correctly.
-
- Now in a Microsoft Network environments, Lan Manager, Lan Server and
- NTAS, NO QUEUE, SERVER or print queue TYPE need to be defined, e.g. you
- can have RightFAX service an unlimited number of servers and print
- queues. All the queues you want RightFAX to service, need to
- PRINT TO: \\.\pipe\rightfax. For remote servers, this will also
- work via, CONNECT TO PRINTER, or by having the queue
- PRINT TO: \\server\pipe\rightfax.
-
-
- <R>============================================================================
- <R>Helpful Tips
- <N>
- When using the Export/Report function from FaxAdmin for Windows, we
- strongly recommend that you set your TEMP environment variable in the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT to C:\TMP and create a C:\TMP directory.
-
- The RightFAX Windows Print Driver supplied in version 3.50 and 3.51 will
- continue to work with RightFAX 4.02 servers. The Driver will not be updated
- nor is it included with RightFAX 4.02 -- the PowerBar has replaced the
- Windows Print Driver.
-
- In order to Print or Preview reports from FaxAdmin for Windows, the
- "current directory" must be writable. In other words, you may have to
- set the Working Directory for the FaxAdmin icon to point to a directory
- on your "home" or local drive.
-
- The PowerBar is not compatible with Windows NT workstations. There is
- software included for Windows 95 in the CLIENT\WIN95 directory.
- Print drivers for Windows NT are not included, though FUW and FAW work.
-
-
- <R>============================================================================
- <R>RightFAX Windows-95 Client Package
-
- <N>This package includes all software necessary to support Windows-95 clients
- with the RightFAX NT 4.02 fax server. The FaxUtil and FaxAdmin programs are
- similar to the Windows 3.1 versions. The PowerBar, which is available on
- Windows 3.1, is not available for Windows-95 as the PowerBar framework does
- not fit the new interface of Win-95. A similar pop-up interface has been
- developed for Win-95 which allows any Win-16 or Win-32 application to fax
- using an HP LaserJet III or PostScript driver. By using a standard PCL-5 or
- PostScript driver, documents are maintained as they would print in the most
- exacting specifications. TrueType, PCL-5, and Adobe fonts are all supported.
- Like RightFAX on Windows 3.1, the fax processing is all handled by the fax
- server and the client workstations are all free to go about their work.
-
-
- <R>============================================================================
- <R>General Overview of the RightFAX OS/2 PM Print Driver
-
- <N> The RightFAX PM print driver provides the user with a pop-up dialog in
- which fax destination information may be entered. This service can only
- be provided for OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM) applications.
- Character-based OS/2, DOS, and Windows applications will *NOT* benefit
- from this driver. In order to print from such applications, please see
- the options below. Windows applications running under OS/2 may also use
- the RightFAX Windows print driver which is shipped with the RightFAX
- package.
-
- Using this driver allows the user to fax directly from a PM application
- without having to separately start the RightFAX client utility (FAXUTIL).
-
-
-
- <R>============================================================================
- <R>RightFAX WindowNT Client Package
-
- <N>This package includes all software necessary to support WindowsNT clients
- with the RightFAX NT 4.02 fax server. The FaxUtil and FaxAdmin programs are
- similar to the Windows 3.1 versions. The PowerBar, which is available on
- Windows 3.1, is not available for WindowsNT as the PowerBar framework does
- not fit the new interface of WinNT. A similar pop-up interface has been
- developed for WinNT which allows any Win-16 or Win-32 application to fax
- using an HP LaserJet III or PostScript driver. By using a standard PCL-5 or
- PostScript driver, documents are maintained as they would print in the most
- exacting specifications. TrueType, PCL-5, and Adobe fonts are all supported.
- Like RightFAX on Windows 3.1, the fax processing is all handled by the fax
- server and the client workstations are all free to go about their work.
