AFTER INSTALLATION:
After installation, you will have several icons in the 32bit Fax Group.
Please note the following icons:
 Manual          (MANUAL.TXT)
 Read Me         (README.TXT)
 Q and A         (Q_A.TXT)
 32bit Fax Tutor (32BFTUTR.WRI)
 32bit Fax Help  (32BF.HLP)
These should be read before using 32bit Fax. There is also
[Contact-Sensitive Help] buttons, throughout 32bit Fax, for your
convenience.

Everything is explained thoroughly in the 32bit Fax help system, which
may be called upon from anywhere in 32bit Fax.

If you want to use 32bit Fax from within any Windows Application and/or
take advantage of *ALL* the power 32bit Fax has, load 32bit Fax from the
32bit Fax Group before loading any other Windows Applications.

After the 32bit Fax program is loaded, click on the [Configure] button and
SetUp and configure things *YOUR WAY*. I suggest that if you are not sure
of something, leave the defaults set as it came to you. Make a printout
of the defaults in case you change something you do not understand yet.

For more details, read the readme.txt file that is included with this
program.

Date format
During installation and later in the 32BF SetUp you will have the
opportunity to set the fax header date format to MM/DD/YYYY - USA,
DD.MM.YYYY - UK  or YYYY-MM-DD - WORLD.


Item 3, Chapter  3 - Send Fax


Sending faxmail from existing Fax
You may send a Fax Format file already stored on disk. Summon the Send
Fax dialog box by using [FaxBar], [Send Fax]. From the Send Fax box,
select [Get Fax] and the Select Fax for Sending box will appear within
which you may select an existing fax.

When using this selection, you are choosing a fax file that is already
converted to a fax format. Only files with a DCX or PCX extension may
be selected from this menu choice. Colored PCX files can not be faxed.

Select the desired file by highlighting the drive, path, and file in the
list boxes, or type the full file specification in the edit box. Select
[Select] to return to the Send Fax box. The file selected will be
displayed in the Send File edit box.

Follow the normal sending operation procedures in the Send Fax box, and
select [Send Fax] to send.

Send Faxes Using Your Program's FaxBook system (API)
You will need a comma delimited file called:
?:\32BITFAX\SEND2FAX.DEL
Where the ? is the drive that you installed 32bit Fax on.

SEND2FAX.DEL Format:
3 or 5 field comma delimited file with the following format:
"Y/N(header at top of fax)","Recipient","FaxNumber"
or:
"Y/N(header at top of fax)","Recipient","FaxNumber","Scheduled Date",
"Scheduled Time"
HeaderYN:
A 1 character field consisting of either Y or N
Recipient:
A 31 character field consisting of the Recipient
FaxNumber:
A 46 character field consisting of a Fax Number
The next 2 fields are optional...
Scheduled Date:
A 10 character field consisting of the day to send the Fax
Scheduled Time:
A 10 character field consisting of the time to send the Fax
Example:
"Y","Jon Krahmer","1-281-499-5939"
or:
"Y","Jon Krahmer","1-281-499-5939","07-15-2002","10:30:00am"

32bit Fax must be running in the background. The ?:\32BITFAX\SEND2FAX.DEL
file must be create in the 32bit Fax directory. Print to the ElectraSoft
Print to Fax. The ElectraSoft Print to Fax will create a ?:\TOFAX file.
32bit Fax will see this file, convert it to a fax and call the Send
Fax box. The Send Fax will see the ?:\32BITFAX\SEND2FAX.DEL file and
instead of it's normal routine, it will work invisibly to send the fax as
per the ?:\32BITFAX\SEND2FAX.DEL file and then delete
?:\32BITFAX\SEND2FAX.DEL. The next time you load the Send Fax box, it will
work as normal.

Code example:
LOOP:
 o CREATE the SEND2FAX.DEL file
 o PRINT document to: ElectraSoft Print to Fax
 o WAIT until 32bit Fax deletes SEND2FAX.DEL
 o If done EXIT else back to LOOP
EXIT:

Item 4


Selecting a Recipient
The fax number and person to whom the correspondence or file is being
sent is selected from the FaxBook Entries box. Select [Recipient] and
the FaxBooks Entries box will appear.

Note: If you send a fax to the same area-code area that you are in, you
may need to go to the [FaxBook Entries] box and chick [Edit Entry] and
remove the 1 from the fax number. In some areas you will need to remove
the area-code also. IE: If you live in the Houston Texas area, and want
to send a fax to ElectraSoft, remove the 1 from the fax number, as
ElectraSoft is in the Houston Texas area.

Viewing the Fax being Sent
To view the fax before sending, select [View Fax]. A full screen
display of the bitmap file will appear. View the full page by using the
scroll bars. View another page by selecting [Page]. A menu of pages
will appear, listing each page number in the document. Click on the
page you want to view.

Saving or Deleting the Bitmap file
Send and Save
Occasionally it is beneficial to save the bitmap version of your file,
if you will be sending it again in the near future.

If disk space is at a premium you may feel free to delete the bitmap
file, knowing that you may always send your correspondence again,
directly from your original file from the Windows application where it
was created, using the ElectraSoft Print to Fax command.

Send and Delete
When sending faxmail, select [Send Fax and: ( )Save  (*)Delete]  in the
Send Fax box to delete the fax file after it has been transmitted. Fax
files are large and occupy considerable disk space, so erasing them when
they are not needed for sending again, is prudent.

Select the Delete Option button and the bitmap file will be marked for
deletion. You may purge the files marked for deletion with [Purge Send
+ Deletes] from the Events Log Window.

Cover Page Options
Making selections regarding Cover Page action is a matter of choosing
from a series of option buttons. Clicking on the selection will
highlight and activate that choice. If you have selected the default
Cover Page in the SetUp box, the appropriate selection will already be
highlighted. Use the SetUp command to set the default condition for all
Cover Page Options.

Since more than one Cover Page may be created and saved in the 32BF
NotePad Window, a listing of Cover Pages will be displayed. Click on the
Down Arrow button to display a list of Cover Pages which you have created.

Highlight the desired Cover Page by clicking the left mouse button on
the appropriate filename. The list box will close displaying the
selected Cover Page filename.


Item 5


Choices for Cover Page action
No Cover Page
[(*)No Cover Page] ignores a Cover Page in the faxmail sending process.
Only the fax is transmitted.

Include Cover Page
[(*)Include Cover Page] causes 32BF to send the selected Cover Page,
followed by the selected fax

Cover Page Only
[(*)Cover Page Only] causes 32BF to send the selected Cover Page and
ignore the fax file.

Since the Cover Page can include any text you desire, as well as Field
Data to be extracted from the computer and FaxBook, it may be used for
sending memos and short correspondence. When sending Cover Page Only,
there is no need to type addresses for Recipients each time, as they are
included automatically in the sending process.

Another benefit of using the Send Cover Page Only feature is that the
Cover Page is created in ASCII text and does not require the generation
of a bitmap file on your computer.


View Cover Page
[View Cover Page] will open the default cover page and read the logo,
date and time, text, and any FaxBook fields it finds embedded in the
text. It will use the results to create a temporary bitmap file that is
identical to what the recipient of a fax would see if you send it.

Scheduling for Future
Sending The current date and time are displayed in the Schedule box of
the Send Fax box. If you desire to schedule your faxmail for sending at
a future time, change the date/time.

Edit the date/time boxes by positioning the cursor in the edit box and
use the BACKSPACE key to delete characters to the left of the cursor,
the DELETE key to delete characters to the right of the cursor.

With the edit cursor in the box, enter the new data desired, being sure
to format the data as it originally appeared:

For Date: MM/DD/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY - UK  or YYYY-MM-DD - WORLD
For Time: HH:MM:SS (am/pm)


Item 6


Selecting Fax Resolution
The Send Fax dialog box presents you with two choices of fax resolution.
Select the desired choice by clicking on the appropriate radio button.
The center of the radio button will turn black, indicating the choice is
active.

What is Fax Resolution
Fax documents may be sent in either Coarse or Fine Resolution This
setting determines the number of DPI (Dots Per Inch) to be used in
sending the BITMAP file that is transmitted by fax. A higher DPI
usually means better quality.

Coarse Fax Resolution
Coarse Fax Resolution is 100 X 200 DPI. Only every other scan line is
sent. The receiving fax machine prints each received line twice. This
resolution transfers faster than fine.

Fine Fax Resolution
Fine Fax Resolution is 200 X 200 DPI. All data is sent over the phone
line. Use Fine Resolution when you desire the best resolution and
clarity in your faxmail.

Initiating the Send
With the appropriate parameters set in the Send Fax box as desired, you
may send your correspondence by selecting [Send Fax]. If you desire to
cancel the sending operation from the Send Fax dialog box, select
[Cancel] and the dialog box will close without sending the Fax.


Item 7


Sending faxmail to a Group
You may direct faxmail to all entries in a group with a single command,
just as you would to a single recipient. Mass broadcasting your faxmail
to many recipients.

Selecting the Group
As with sending faxmail to a single recipient, select [Recipient] from
the Send Fax box and the Display FaxBook Entries box will appear.

Two combo boxes exist, one displaying the FaxBooks in the system, and
the other displaying the Groups that you created within each FaxBook.
Select the desired FaxBook by clicking the down arrow button to the
right of the combo list box in the 'Make and Edit FaxBook, [Make]'. A
drop-down list of FaxBooks will appear. Highlight the desired FaxBook
and the list will disappear displaying the selected FaxBook.

Select the desired Group by clicking the down arrow button to the right
of the combo list box in the 'Make and Edit Group Sends, [Make]'. A
drop-down list of Group will appear. Highlight the desired Group and
the list will disappear displaying the selected Group.

Send Fax File Dialog Box
Select [OK] and you will be returned to the Send Fax box to initiate the
send operation. Notice that the Recipient is now the name of the Group
to whom your are sending your faxmail.

Select [Send Fax] and the sending operation will be performed for each
member of the group just as if each had been singularly entered.

Personalizing Group faxmail
You may individually personalize your Group faxmail by use of a Cover
Page with the Group Send. Each Cover Page will be personalized with the
information from the individual FaxBook entries as each new recipient is
selected from the 'Make and Edit Group Sends, [Make]' and sent.

See Generating Documents and/or Cover Pages, for more detailed
information.


Item 8, Chapter  4 - Receiving faxmail


Background Operation
The less expensive FaxModems have no resources of their own and rely
wholly upon the CPU and memory of your PC to perform their tasks. As a
result, when an incoming document is being received, all current program
operations will be stopped, the PC is needed for the fax operation.

When a FaxModem card possesses it's own resources, it will operate in
the background, while you are operating your normal software. This full
background operation means that your current application is not
interrupted upon receipt of incoming faxmail.

When the 32BF Control Program is loaded, portions are running as a
memory resident program and operating in the background. As long as
your computer is turned on, regardless of what activity you are engaged
in, incoming fax transmissions will be received into your computer,
automatically.

Default Setting for Receiving Options
Incoming Directory
The drive letter and path to the location on your hard disk in which
incoming faxmail will be stored. This is the default setting, which you
may override from the Notification box.

The incoming directory is the drive and directory path into which you
wish to save the incoming files to disk. This is the default path
only. If you have selected Auto-Save, the faxmail will be routed into
this subdirectory. When you have selected Notify, this path will be
presented to you along with the file name for saving. You may route the
file into any directory you desire, however, by changing the path and/or
filename from the Notification box.


Item 9


Receiving Options
There are four options pertaining to the handling of incoming faxmail
once it is received into your computer. Select one of the four options
by clicking in the appropriate option button. You may return to this
Default Configurations box at any time to select a different choice when
it best serves your present circumstances.

Hold
Selecting this option causes the incoming faxmail to be held in a
Receiving Queue. Your current work is not interrupted, and you may
handle your faxmail at another time, when it is more convenient to you.

To extract faxmail out of the Receive Queue, summon the Events Log
Window by selecting [FaxBar], [Events Log], [Receive Queue].

If you have faxmail, you will be Notified and presented with options for
handling the incoming correspondence. A separate Notification box will
appear for each piece of incoming faxmail held in the Receive Queue.

Notify
Select [(*)Notify] if you want 32BF to notify you each time faxmail is
received. When the incoming file is fully received into your computer a
Notification dialog box will appear on your screen, regardless of where
you are in the Windows environment. The box will inform you of the
receipt of faxmail and give you a variety of options for handling the
incoming file.

Auto Save
Choose this option if you desire to have all incoming faxmail
automatically stored in the default incoming Directory. You are not
interrupted by faxmail, and may then manage all incoming correspondence
at a more convenient time.

Auto Print
This feature will cause your computer and printer to act like a normal
fax machine with the added benefit of improving the quality of your
faxmail image, particularly if you are using a laser-jet printer.
Select [(*)Auto Print] if you choose to have your incoming faxmail
automatically sent to the printer upon arrival. Auto Print works, only,
in conjunction Auto Save Notice that the Auto-Save option button will be
automatically selected when you choose Auto Print. The file is saved to
disk, and then printed.

Once the faxmail is received into your computer, the file will be given
a date-stamp name and saved to disk in the default incoming directory.
Then the document is sent to the printer. A Print Progress dialog box
will appear, informing you that the file is received and is printing.
Cancel the printing process, if you desire, with [Cancel].

You may also direct the printing process to be performed in the
background, multitasked so that you may proceed with the work at hand.
To do so, select [Background]. For more information on this process,
see a discussion on Printing from the Notification Box. Use the Events
Log to manage files which have been automatically saved to disk upon
receipt.


Item 10


Notification Box Options
When you choose to be notified of incoming faxmail, or you handle
correspondence in the Receive Queue, you will be presented with a
Notification Box, offering you a variety of options for dealing with
each piece of correspondence.

The Notification Box Options are:

Hold All
Hold this and all future correspondence in the Receive Queue.

Extract faxmail out of the Receive Queue, by selecting [FaxBar],[Events
Log], [Receive Queue].


Item 11


Print Fax
Print the faxmail file.

Fax Viewer
By selecting [View Fax], you may display your fax correspondence in the
Fax Viewer Window. See Fax Viewer for a more detailed explanation of
the Fax Viewer Window.

Save Fax
Save the file in the directory and under the filename as displayed. This
box may be edited so that the fax may be saved to disk in any directory
and under any name desired, as long as you don't change the file
extension.

Delete Fax
If you have viewed or printed your incoming faxmail and determined that
you do not need a permanent copy, you may delete the fax by selecting
[Delete Fax]. A dialog box will appear prompting you to verify that you
choose to delete the fax. Select [OK] and the fax will be deleted.
Choose [Cancel] if you wish to return to the Notification box and not
delete the fax.

Printing a Fax from the Receive Queue Select the [Print Fax] and the
print fax dialog box will appear. The dialog box will indicate the
active printer and the number of pages in the faxmail document.


Item 12


Selecting a Printer
To select a different printer driver, select [Setup Printer] and the
Windows 'Control Panel' will be displayed. Select [Printers], and the
Windows Printer Select routine will be activated. Select the desired
printer and close the window. You will be returned to the Print Dialog
box. See the Windows Users Guide for more information on use of the
Printer Selection Routine.

Printing Selective Pages
The Print dialog box will display the number of pages in the document.
The default setting for the page(s) to be printed is all page(s). The
Print Page(s) selection boxes will display the first and last page
number. To print selected page(s) only, change the page numbers in the
page edit boxes to those desired.

Select [Print] and a printing progress box will appear while the file is
being sent to the printer. This dialog box will display the page number
being printed. If for any reason, you choose to abort the printing
process, select [Cancel] and the sequence will be aborted.

Choosing a Printing Method
Since bitmap files contain large amounts of data, printing multiple-page
fax can consume time, depending upon the printer and the printer driver
being utilized. To make your work more efficient, you may choose to
enter into a multitasking mode. This will cause the process of sending
data to your printer to occur in the background, allowing you to proceed
to other tasks.

Select [Background] and the printing process will continue in the
background, simultaneously with your other work. The Print Progress
dialog box will disappear, however, to still give you access to
canceling the print routine, the Print Progress box will be minimized
into an Icon on the Windows desktop.

Canceling Background Printing
To cancel a background printing operation, double-click on the printing
Icon on the Windows desktop and the Printing Progress dialog box will
reappear. Select [Cancel], and the print job will be aborted.


Item 13


Naming and Saving your faxmail
Faxmail Naming Convention
When using a printer driver, such as 32BF does, to convert your program
file into a format which is understood by the FaxModem, the Windows
environment does not give access to the file name.

Also, upon Receiving faxmail, raw data is transported over the telephone
lines, from one facsimile device to another, giving no access to a file
name.

In the absence of file names for fax format files, 32BF follows a file
naming convention that is based on a date-stamp and the number of
transaction for the day. The name given to both incoming and outgoing
fax files is as follows:

MMDD0000.DCX

Whereas:

MM is the Month, DD is the Day, 0000 is a counter, numbering the faxmail
events that day. DCX is an extension indicating that the file is in fax
format.

Names with date stamps give you reference to the time the file was
generated, but no reference as to the contents; as would be the case had
you determined it's name.

Fax Files
Most of the time you will want to rename your faxmail from the cryptic
date stamp to a more meaningful name based on your knowledge of whom the
file was from, or its contents. If renaming is performed from the
Notification box, then the more meaningful name will appear in the
Events Log, simplifying fax management later.

Use [Print Fax] or [View Fax] to print or view the fax. With
information about the content of the correspondence, name the file
accordingly.

The default directory will be displayed with the filename. However, you
may edit the drive, directory, and or filename by placing the cursor in
the edit box and use the Delete or Backspace keys to delete characters.
To delete the entire default filename, begin typing a new file
specification.

Select [Save Fax] and the faxmail will be saved to disk as directed. If
the filename already exists on your disk, you will be presented with a
warning, giving you the opportunity to overwrite the file or not.

If you choose to overwrite the existing file, select [OK] and the file
will be stored to disk, overwriting the older one. If you choose not to
overwrite an existing file, select [Cancel] and you will be returned to
the Notification box where you may enter a new file specification.


Item 14


Saving Fax upon Receipt
Select [(*)Auto Save] from SetUp if you do not wish to handle your
faxmail at the time it arrives. By choosing Auto Save, incoming
correspondence will be automatically saved to disk.

All correspondence will be saved in the default incoming Directory and
named according to a date stamp, See Faxmail Naming Convention for format.

Handling Auto Saved Events Later
A record of all your transactions will occur in the Events Log Window.
From the log, you may view, print, copy, delete, move, or re-send the
saved faxmail.

Naming faxmail Later
When using the Auto-Save feature and handling your faxmail at a later
date, you may use either the Events Log Window or Fax Viewer Window to
manage your correspondence. Each of these Windows possess the MoveAs
command which allows you to view your faxmail and move, as well as
rename it, to another directory. You may also delete any unwanted files
from these locations.


Item 15


Monitoring the progress of incoming faxmail Depending upon the FaxModem
installed and it's configurations, a tone can be heard when the modem
begins Receiving faxmail. If you want to inquire as to the sending
party or to monitor the progress of an event, you may do so by selecting
[FaxBar], [Event Monitor].


Item 16, Chapter  5 - Future Send Queue


When you schedule a transmission for some time in the future,
instructions pertaining to that event are placed into a queuing system,
awaiting processing. The computer's calendar and clock are checked, and
at the specified time, the transaction is processed by the FaxModem.

This holding area is referred to as the Future Send Queue. If you are
broadcasting faxmail to a group, multiple transactions are entered into
the Future Send Queue, one event for each recipient in the group.

At times, it may be necessary to make changes, modifications or
deletions from this list. The Future Send Queue can be accessed and
each item in the queue may be acted upon.

Managing faxmail in the Future Send Queue
Display the Future Send Queue by selecting [FaxBar], [Future Send Queue]
and a dialog box will appear within which all tasks scheduled for future
sending will be displayed. These are the send fax events that you sent
form the Send Fax box using [Schedule], [Send Fax], after changing the
date or time into the future. The following information is displayed
for each event in the queue:

Date, Time, Resolution, Recipient, FileName

Selecting an Event in the Future Send Queue
Scroll through the listings in the list box until the desired entry is
located and highlight it. You may now perform any of the provided
actions on that event.


Item 17


Re-Scheduling an Event in the Queue
With the desired event highlighted, select [Re-Schedule]. A dialog box
will appear within which you may change the time and date of the
transmission. The current time and date will be placed in the
appropriate edit boxes. Edit the time/date to your choosing and select
[OK].

To re-schedule an event to be sent immediately, select [OK]. To cancel
the Re-Schedule operation without changing the time or date of the
event, select [Cancel].

Deleting an Event from the Queue
With the desired event highlighted, select the [Del] button. A Deletion
Options dialog box will appear and present you with two methods of
deletion.

Delete Entry
This selection will delete the selected task from the Future Send Queue
and the sending event will not take place.

Delete Entry and File
This selection will not only delete the task from the Future Send Queue,
but will also delete the Fax file scheduled to be sent.

Viewing the Fax
With the event entry selected, select [View]. A full screen display for
the fax will appear. View the full page by using the Scroll bars. View
additional pages, if any, by selecting [Page]. Return to the Future
Send Queue dialog box by selecting [Exit].

Refreshing the Future Send Queue Box
Refreshing the Future Send Queue may become necessary if sending
operations are taking place while you are in the Future Send Queue
dialog box. Selecting [ReFresh] will update and redrawn the list box,
minus any completed events.


Item 18, Chapter  6 - 32BF Control Program


32BF Control Program has a windows that can be minimize or sent
background by clicking on the [Go Background]. Operating in the
background, 32bit Fax can be accessed from it's toolbar. 32bit Fax is
designed to integrate faxmail into the entire Windows environment. Fax
functionality literally becomes a part of every Windows program, just as
if each program was designed with fax functionality initially.

BBS Mode
Selecting BBS Mode will initialize your FaxModem to BBS Mode, and
disable the FaxModem Driver, 32bit Fax and all programs associated with
32bit Fax. If your FaxModem is already in BBS Mode, it will
re-initialize it and leave it in the BBS Mode. Use this before calling
a BBS such as Internet, AOL or CompuServe. There are many ways to switch
to BBS Mode.

1. Select [FaxBar], [QUIT].

2. Select [FaxBar], [Event Monitor], [BBS Mode].


Item 19


General Information
This section assumes that you have generated a document or file in a
Windows program.

Most Windows programs (applications), especially the more sophisticated
ones, communicate with a Windows message center while loading. The
programs asks Windows, not only which printer driver is loaded, but asks
for the characteristics of the printer. This communication informs the
program of page, fonts, and graphics support.

If you forget to load the 32BF Program before the application, your
document or file will be composed for your printer instead of [ElectraSoft
Print to Fax]. When you, then, select [ElectraSoft Print to Fax], the
more sophisticated programs will alert you that the file was not composed
for that driver, and will recompose the document for you.

If you have selected a font from the Windows font library, or soft fonts
which are scaleable or dynamic fonts, you should not experience any
difference in the image, whether you compose your document with your
printer loaded or ElectraSoft Print to Fax.

Bitmaps
When you send a document by fax from any Windows program, 32BF must
first convert your document or file into a format which fax technology
can transmit. A second file will be created for this purpose. This FAX
FILE bitmap will be denoted by the three character extension of DCX.

This file does not interfere with your original document in any way. It
makes a compatible copy for fax transmission. Upon transmitting your
correspondence your original file saved by the application, and the DCX
file both exist on your hard disk.

DCX files are quite large files and when kept, can consume a
considerable amount of disk space. If you have plenty of disk space or
find it acceptable to occasionally spend time managing these files, you
may want to save them.

However, if disk space is low and you do not continually refer to your
fax correspondence, it is quite acceptable to choose the [Send Fax and:
Delete] setting as the default so all fax files tagged for deletion can
be deleted with one command, [Purge Send + Deletes], from the Events
Log. You can always return to your original file documents for
reference and re-faxing.


Item 20


Generating Documents from Windows
First, load the 32bit Fax Control Program so that the [FaxBar] will be
available to you from the top left corner of the Program Manager and all
your Programs.

Load a Windows word processor or graphics program with which you are
familiar. You probably had one in mind when purchasing 32BF for
Windows. If you have no particular program in mind, load Windows Write
or Windows Paintbrush from the Windows desktop. Make sure that the
screen is maximized. Do so by clicking on the up arrow button in the
extreme right corner of the window.

Experiment with your favorite applications, composing a document with
your printer driver loaded and another with ElectraSoft Print to Fax. This
may only be an issue when high precision or quality is required such as in
the case of detailed graphics. As a general rule, if you know you are
creating a document for faxmail purposes, you may want to make
ElectraSoft Print to Fax active while the document is being composed.

Also, see the section on font selection later in this chapter for more
detailed information on the selection and use of fonts.

Create a document or file in the Windows program you've chosen. Upon
completion, save the file as you normally would using the [File],
[SaveAs] or equivalent.


Item 21


Sending a Fax Directly from an Application To send faxmail directly from
your Windows program (application), select the [File], [Print] and print
to the ElectraSoft Print to Fax print drive.

You will be presented with the program's normal printing sequence. Most
Windows applications will display the target or selected printer. The
32BF fax driver will be one of these:

ElectraSoft Print to Fax on C:\TOFAX
ElectraSoft NT Print to Fax on C:\TOFAX

Select any printing options which you desire, such as selected pages,
etc., and use your program's Print routine. The ElectraSoft Print to Fax
will convert your document file into a fax, and save it to the hard disk
for transmission.

Send Fax Box
Once the fax file is created, the Send Fax box will appear so that you
may determine recipient and sending parameters. Select [Recipient] to
choose the addressee to whom the faxmail is to be sent. You will be
presented with the FaxBook Entries box. Select a new addressee then
select [OK].

CONVERT TO FAX and PRINTER OR FAX TOGGLE

Swapping Drivers
Use your editor's [File], [Print Setup].

If you plan to send a fax from an application, it is sometimes better to
make ElectraSoft Print to Fax the default driver before you enter the
application. This is done because some applications do not sense a
printer driver being changed after the program is loaded.


Item 22


Converting to Fax
To start the send process Select [File], [Print]. The application's
normal printer dialog box will appear within which you should insure
that the active printer is the ElectraSoft Print to Fax on C:\TOFAX. You
may choose to send all or only a portion of the document pages, just as if
you were directing the data to a printer.

Finish the print sequence as if you were printing to your printer.

Windows and Printer Drivers
Windows allows you to install multiple printer drivers, for multiple
printers. One of these printers is then selected as the default printer
and is automatically loaded and used from each Windows application when
you choose to print. See your Windows User's Guide for more detailed
information on installing and managing printers from the Windows Control
Panel.

The [ElectraSoft Print to Fax] is handled as just another printer
driver. It is loaded as the active driver when you print to remote Fax
Machine.


Item 23, Chapter  7 - Event Monitor


Last or Current Event Monitor

Choose this command to monitor a send/receive event while it is in
progress. A dialog box will appear within which you may monitor
information being sent from the FaxModem while it is sending or
receiving a fax. The following information and more is available:

Remote ID
Information about the remote fax machine. Could be sender's name,
company ID, phone number, fax number, etc.

File name
The unique name of the file, assigned by 32BF, being sent.

Fax Number
Fax number of recipient receiving fax.

Transfer Type
The resolution, (fine or standard fax resolution) will be displayed.

Number of Pages
The page number being transmitted and the total number of pages will be
displayed.

Page Size
Page length in inches.

Status
This display will indicate the current state of the FaxModem operation.
Examples of terms displayed are:
No Event Yet
Idle...
Waiting to be Processed
Dialing...
Connecting...
Sending...
Receiving...
Successfully Completed
Event was Aborted
Remote Machine is BUSY
NO ANSWER from Remote Machine
Transmission Warning

Time
This display will indicate the elapsed time of the transmission.

Number of Errors
This display will indicate the number of transmission errors occurring
in a fax. Some FaxModems possess error correction capabilities and
therefore, will not display errors. A few error can occur with little
harm to the fax.

Fatal Error
If the fax transaction ends without a complete cycle, the fatal error
will indicate where the communication breakdown occurred. A list of
Fatal Error can be found in the Q and A file.


Item 24


Aborting an Event
If, for any reason, you choose to interrupt the send/receive operation,
you may do so by selecting [Abort Event]. This will cause the
transmission to be terminated. The entry in the Events Log will display
"Abrtd" (Event was Aborted).

Answer Now
This option allows you to force 32bit Fax to answer
the phone immediately and try to receive a fax even if the phone did not
ring.

Examples of use:
Set 32bit Fax to answer on the twenty-fifth ring. When the phone rings,
answer it with the phone. If you here a fax-tone, select [Answer Now].
When you here 32BF pick up, you hang up the phone. 32BF will take over
and receive the fax.

Monitoring an Active Event
You may want to watch the Event Monitor at least long enough to ensure
that you have made a connection and your faxmail is being delivered.

The Event Monitor will inform you of the following:

 o Type of operation, whether sending or receiving
 o To whom the fax is being sent, or from whom it is being received

100x200 DPI, Fine Fax 200x200 DPI and 300x300 DPI Printers with no
degradation. The Krahmer Fax Font is close to 100% recognizable by OCR.

Note: In Coarse Fax resolution, every other horizontal scan-line is
sent and the next discarded, so fonts that are only one pixel thick,
horizontally, will lose an average one half of their definition. To
summons OCR select [FaxBar], [Fax Viewer], [Edit], [OCR (Optical
Character Recognition)].


Item 45, Chapter 11 - DCX to PCX BreakUp


Converting a Multiple Page Fax to PCX Files
DCX to PCX BreakUp will take a DCX fax file and break it up into
individual pages of PCX that can be imported into most applications for
easy editing. To summons DCX to PCX BreakUp, select [FaxBar], [View
Fax], [Edit], [DCX to PCX BreakUp] and the DCX to PCX BreakUp dialog box
will appear with the default DCX fax file name displayed.

Type in a one to four letter seed name, select [BreakUp], and there will
be one PCX file created for each page found in the DCX file. Lets
assume we have a three page DCX file called PICTURES.DCX. If we were to
use a seed name of PIC, BreakUp would break it up into the following
three PCX files.

PIC0001.PCX
PIC0002.PCX
PIC0003.PCX

To view a PCX file from the Fax Viewer, select [File], [Open], [PCX].

Converting Multiple Faxes into One Fax
You can not fax a file. You have to convert it to a fax first, by
printing it to the [ElectraSoft Print to Fax].

Print to fax:

If you can print it to your printer, you can print it to the
[ElectraSoft Print to Fax] and fax it.

While in a program that has printing capabilities,such as Excel, MS-Word,
etc; select the [ElectraSoft Print to Fax] as your printer, and print to
it. The [Send Fax] box will appear, allowing you to fax it wherever you
want to.

All the Fax Machines in the world are your printers with this ElectraSoft
fax software.

If you want to Scan and fax, load your [scanner copy to printer] utility
and select our ElectraSoft Print to Fax as your printer.

Send Multiple Faxes to One Fax Number
Build Multiple Faxes into Multiple Page Faxes:

Create the two or more faxes separately and combine them using this
ElectraSoft fax software.

With this ElectraSoft fax software, instead of sending the fax, do a
[View], [Edit], [BreakUp] from *.DCX to *.PCX on any fax you create or
receive. Then you can use the [View], [Edit], [Build] command to build a
*.DCX fax up to 1023 pages from these pages you broke out; or use the
*.PCX files as you see fit.

These PCX files can also be used as logo files for your cover pages:-)

Build Fax from PCX file(s)
Take selected page(s) form a Fax (DCX) file and build another Fax.

1. Load the 32BF Fax Viewer, select [Edit], [DCX to PCX BreakUp] and
   break one or more Fax file(s) into PCX file(s).

2. Select [Edit], [Build Fax from PCX file(s)] and select the
   PCX file(s) you want in the new Fax.

3. Select [Build] and the new Fax file will be built, displayed, and
   will become the default DCX file for sending, viewing, etc.

See: Fax Viewer Program.


Item 46, Chapter 12 - Zoom/Edit Fax


Zooming in on a Fax
Zoom/Edit Fax lets you make changes to a page in a fax. It extracts a
page from the DCX file, converts it to PCX and calls Windows
Paintbrush. Upon exiting Paintbrush, Zoom/Edit rebuilds the DCX,
replacing the original page with the modified page. To summons
Zoom/Edit, select [FaxBar], [Fax Viewer]. Select a fax and the page you
want to Zoom/Edit and select [Edit], [Zoom/Edit Fax].

See: the Windows manual for direction on how to use Windows Paintbrush.


Item 47, Chapter 13 - The Events Log Window


You may summons the Events Log Window from the 32BF menu by selecting
[FaxBar], [Events Log] and the Events Log Window will appear. This
screen gives you access to the full range of faxmail events, regardless
of the current status.

Past Events
The main Events Log list box presents a one line display of each past
transaction in the 32bit Fax system. You may view both incoming and
outgoing transactions, as well as those which were successfully
completed and those transactions which failed to transmit.

Pending Events
Pending events represent instructions which have been received by the
fax system, but are yet to be acted upon. They are stored in a holding
area called a Queue until processed. Pending events are divided into
two queues, one for sending and another for receiving.

Future Send Queue
You may display all events that are currently in the Future Send Queue
awaiting outgoing transmission.

Receive Queue
You may display all incoming faxmail which has been stored in the
Receive Queue. The Receive Queue contains faxmail only when you have
selected the [Hold] option for managing incoming faxmail.


Item 48


Relationship between Log Entry and 32BF It is helpful to understand the
relationship between an Events Log entry and the actual transferred file
to which it pertains. The listings of faxmail events are dynamic,
meaning that, not only is each listing a historical statement of the
faxmail event, but, for easy management, each event listing is linked to
the actual file associated with that entry.

This feature allows you to use the Events Log Window to manipulate your
faxmail files. You may highlight an entry in the Events Log and perform
several operations on the entry listing itself and/or its associated file.

Caution: Care should be taken when deleting these elements so that you
do not mistakenly erase files which you desire to keep.

The following deletion options are available:

Entry Only
The Events Log Entry will be deleted without deleting the transferred
file itself.

File Only
The Transferred File will be deleted while saving the Events Log entry.

Both
Both the Entry and the Associated File will be deleted.

Events Log Entries Completed Events
Information on each Entry
The main Events Log Window is a display of completed events. See other
sections for information on displaying events yet to be completed, those
in the Future Send Queue and Receive Queue.

Each Log Entry includes the following information:
Date, Time, Type, Event Status, Fatal Error, Connect Status, Transfer
Type, Recipient/Remote ID, Subject, Concluded Date and Time, File Name

Date: Event Date

Time: Event Time

Type:
Snd == Send fax

Move/Save Events Log
Move/Save Events Log will Open (If it does not exist it will Create) the
file called ELOG0001.TXT and append all the Events that are in the
current list-box to it.

If ELOG0001.TXT is 25000 bytes or larger, Move/Save Events Log will
Open/Create a file called ELOG0002.TXT and use it. Move/Save Events Log
will go up to ELOG9999.TXT. That is 9999 files times 25000 bytes each
is 249,975,000 bytes of Events Log before running out of space.


Item 49

Item 51


Re-Sending faxmail from the Events Log
You may re-send any fax file directly from the Events Log Window by
highlighting the entry in the list box, and select [ReSend]. Upon
selection, the Send Fax dialog box will appear.

You may modify any data you choose to conform to your original sending
parameters.

Select [Send Fax] to send the fax, and the Event Monitor dialog box will
appear. Select [Close] to close the Event Monitor box, and you will be
returned to the Events Log Window.

Purging Failed Events
Events which have ended in a failure, such as an Aborted Event, or one
which ended in a Transmission Error, may be of no value to you in the
Events Log, once you have taken appropriate corrective action. You may
choose to re-send a failed sending event and, having a record of the
completed transaction, desire to delete log entry of the failed attempt.

To delete all failed events from the Events Log, select [Purge Failed
Events]. All failed events will be deleted from the log entries and the
log will be refreshed, listing only the successful transactions.

Purging Send and Delete Files
Files which have been marked for deletion in the Send Fax dialog box
cannot be deleted immediately upon sending due to a variety of reasons.

Event Failed
If the attempt to send the file ended in a error and was not
transmitted, you may want to attempt to send the file again.

Aborted Event
If you chose to abort a sending event during the transmission for some
reason, you may want the file to be present to re-transmit.

Group Send
If you schedule a file to be sent to members in a group, the file cannot
be deleted at any time during the group, because some of the attempts
may have failed.

To avoid the loss of a file at an inappropriate time, the bitmap file is
tagged for deletion later. The Purge Send and Delete files provides a
method of deleting these files from your hard disk with one command.

To erase all files marked for deletion, select [Purge Send+Deletes] and
the files will be erased from your hard disk.


Item 52


Managing Pending Events
A pending event is any event where an instruction has been received by
the fax system, but is yet to be acted upon. There are two types of
Pending Events:

Send Queue
Any future send instruction which has not been transmitted and is
awaiting its turn, is stored in the Future Send Queue.

Receive Queue
Any faxmail which was received during the time that the system was
configured to HOLD incoming correspondence. The faxmail in the Receive
Queue has not been saved to disk, or acted upon in any way.

Once action has been taken on an event in either of the queues, i.e.,
the transaction has been sent from the Future Send Queue or you have
taken the transaction out of the Receive Queue, an entry of that event
will appear in the Past-Events log. See: 13. The Events Log Window,
page 47

Managing faxmail in the Receive Queue
The Receive Queue contains faxmail only when you have chosen to HOLD all
incoming faxmail for later handling.

Faxmail in the Receive Queues is managed from the Events Log Window.
Select [Receive Queue]. Action is taken on faxmail in the Receive Queue
through the use of the incoming Notification Box, since it contains
options appropriate to incoming correspondence.


Item 53


You may take any action which you desire from the Notification Box,
acting on each piece of faxmail in the Receive Queue, individually,
until all have been managed. If you choose to return to the Events Log
without acting on all correspondence in the Receive Queue, select [Hold
All] and the remainder of the incoming events will remain in the Receive
Queue for later handling.


Item 54, Chapter 14 - FaxBook Entries


The 32BF FaxBook system is an extensive Rolodex or Card File System
providing a record of all fax numbers that are frequently dialed along
with individual profiles of each entry.

The 32BF FaxBook system allows multiple FaxBooks. Each FaxBook is
capable of being divided into multiple Groups as a subgroup of the
FaxBook. Each FaxBook and its GroupBooks are assigned names for easy
reference. The number of FaxBooks are limited only by the amount of
disk space in your computer, however the number of listings in a single
FaxBook is limited to 1000 FaxBook Entries including Groups.

To maintain FaxBooks in the system, select [FaxBar], [FaxBooks], and the
FaxBook Entries dialog box will appear and you may perform the following
operations:

Search
Search any or all fields of the selected FaxBook.

Once you select the item you wish to search, you will be asked for a
[search string] or phrase.  This [search string] is the text you are going
to search for.

You can choose [Whole Field Only] to search for the text of a whole field,
or you can choose [Field or Phrase Within the Field] to search for either
the whole field or text within a field. You are also able to specify if
you want the search to be case sensitive or not.

There are three search buttons to choose from. [Find First], [Find Next],
and [Find Down]. If you click [Find First], it will search down from the
beginning of the Faxbook you are in. If you click on [Find Next], it will
search down from the last Faxbook entry that was found in a search. If you
click [Find Down], it will search down from the entry you have selected.

If you are searching for a phone number, hyphens within the phone number
are not considered in the search. For example, if you wish to find the
phone number in a FaxBook entry: [281-499-5939], you can search for
[2814995939], [281-499-5939] or [2,81-499-5-93=9], and the entry will
be found.

Creating a FaxBook
To create a new FaxBook, select [Make and Edit FaxBooks [Make]]. You
will be presented with a Maintain FaxBook box which lists all current
FaxBooks in the system.

If this is the first time you have performed this function, only one
FaxBook will exist, that being the SAMPLE book provided with 32BF.

To create a new FaxBook, select [New] the Create New FaxBook box will
appear within which you may enter the name of the new FaxBook.

In the text edit box, enter a FaxBook name using up to eight characters
with no spaces. You do not have to concern yourself with file
extension, as 32BF will automatically add the PBK file extension to your
FaxBook filename. Select [OK] and you will be returned to the Maintain
FaxBook box.

Notice that your new FaxBook name now appears in the FaxBook drop down
list box.

Creating a Shared FaxBook
A FaxBook by the name of GlobalXX can be shared by all Workstations.
Where XX can be any characters from A to Z or 0 to 9. Example:
GLOBAL
GLOBAL1
GLOBAL01
...
GLOBAL99
GLOBALAA
...
GLOBALZZ

All GLOBALXX FaxBooks must be on the [Server HardDrive] to be visible.
They will be placed there by the FaxBook system.

Note: If you, for instance, set [This Computers HardDrive] to C: and the
[Server HardDrive] to C:, create a FaxBook called GLOBAL, then change the
[Server HardDrive] to D:, the GLOBAL FaxBook in C: will become invisible.
This is because a GLOBAL FaxBook MUST be on the [Server HardDrive] to be
visible. You will need to manually move the C:\32BITFAX\GLOBAL.PBK to
D:\32BITFAX\GLOBAL.PBK.


Item 55


Making a FaxBook Active
32BF must know which FaxBook you are using at any given time. You can
make your new FaxBook the active one by highlighting it. The new
FaxBook name will appear in the Make and Edit FaxBooks drop down list box.

Close the Maintain FaxBook box by selecting [OK], and return to your
previous position. The active FaxBook will become the default FaxBook,
and will be displayed when the FaxBook Entries or Send Fax box is
called. You may change the Active or Default FaxBook in the FaxBook
Entries box.

Deleting a FaxBook
To delete a FaxBook from the system, scroll through the FaxBooks in the
list box and highlight the desired entry. Select [Del] and the Delete
FaxBook box will appear, displaying the name of the FaxBook chosen for
deletion. Select [OK] and the FaxBook will be deleted from the system.

Changing FaxBooks
Notice that the FaxBook name selected from the FaxBook Entries box
appears in the upper left portion of the screen, displaying the default
FaxBook. You may change the default FaxBook by selecting the down
arrow. This will cause a  list box to appear containing all FaxBooks in
the system. Select the desired FaxBook and the drop-down list box will
disappear, displaying the chosen FaxBook as the default.

The entries in the default FaxBook will be displayed in the entries list
box. 32BF will maintain this selection as the default until you change
it. All 32BF defaults will be kept active even when you reboot your
computer.

Sorting FaxBook Entries
Entries in the Entries list box can be sorted on one of two fields;
Recipient (usually the company or organization orPerson's Name) or Name.

The entries may be sorted on either field being alphabetized on the
first letter of the first word. To sort the listings, click [Sort By
[(*)Recipient] or [( )Name]]. This will not only re-sort the listings,
but the field on which the entries are sorted will become the first
field in the listings. This will be useful if you choose not to enter
any information in the Name.


Item 56

the default Recipient, and retained until later changed.

Adding Entries to a FaxBook
Select [Add Entry] and the Add FaxBook Entries box will appear.

The Recipient field is intended to represent the name of the company,
organization, or institution to which the faxmail is being addressed.
The remaining fields are then self explanatory.

If your entry involves an individual and not a company, place the
person's name in the Recipient field. You may then use the Name field
for notes or brief description, such as: Office Fax Machine, or Home
Computer.

Note: Recipient and Fax Number fields must contain valid data.

Enter new entries in the Add FaxBook Entries box by positioning the
cursor in the desired Edit Box and typing the data. Move from data
field to data field by repositioning the cursor with the mouse or by
pressing [Tab].

Complete the data entry for a listing and then select from either of two

select [Delete Entry]. The Delete FaxBook Entry box will appear,
displaying the Recipient or Company name, along with the entry to be
deleted. This allows you to verify that you are deleting the proper
entry. Select [OK] to delete the entry or [Cancel] to abort.

Maintaining Groups within a FaxBook
You may send faxmail to a group of recipients with a single command by
creating groups of listings within a FaxBook. You may then send faxmail
to all members in the group by selecting the Group as the Recipient when
you transmit your correspondence.

You may create as many Groups within any single FaxBook as you desire.
Each group may contain up to the total number of entries in the
FaxBook. You can put up to 999 entries in a FaxBook, create a group and
put all 999 in it. It is recommended that you put no more than 500
entries in a FaxBook.

When forming a Group within a FaxBook, you are not changing the entries
in the FaxBook. Each entry in the FaxBook is merely being tagged as
belonging to the particular Group that is being formed. You can still
send a member of a group singularly.

FaxBook Group example:
If the FaxBook is entitled CUSTOMER, then Groups might be formed so that
information might be sent to each geographical region of the country.
The Groups would be entitled, SOUTH, WEST, NORTH, MIDWEST, etc.

Item 61


Importing to FaxBook
Most X-Base programs like Microsoft Access, dBASE, Clipper and Etc. are
capable of Exporting "Comma-Delimited" text files. 32bit Fax can Import
these "Comma-Delimited" files. Remember that the data-text itself should
not contain double quotes (i.e.: ") because the Importer may consider it
to be the end of a field in a record. A field containing "," will, for
sure, fool the Importer into thinking it should end one field and start
another. The fields can vary in length but do have a maximum as shown
below. A FaxBook can have up to 1000 Entries and/or Groups.

Definition of one FaxBook Record:

                  Maximum
Field Name:       Field Size    Programmers Identity

Recipient         31            FE2_REC_EB            EQU 1

All fields (w/o commas)         515 Total

Do not concern yourself with the {Programmers Identity} as it is only
used by our Programmers and included to help you get a perspective.

You do not have to fill in all of the fields, but they must be there.
The only two mandatory fields are the {Recipient} and {Fax Number}. If
you fail to fill these two fields in properly, the Importer will report
an error.

Example of a valid minimal entry:
"Jon Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""
"Bill Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""
"Roxie Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""
If you crate a text file called import.txt and paste only these three line
into if, you will be able to import these three entries.

You can also import a list of fax numbers. Each fax number must be on a
line by itself. You can not skip a space. The number found on each line
will be put in the [Recipient] field and the [Fax Number] field. For
example if you import a file with the following line...
1-123-456-0001
...it will be the same as importing:
"1-123-456-0001","","","1-123-456-0001","","","","","","","",""

The Import function has some error-correction capability. For example the
following 10 records will import with no problem:
"Recipient 1","","","1-123-123-1234","","","","","","","",""
"Recipient 2",,,"1-123-123-1235",,,,,,,,
"Recipient 3","","","1-123-123-1234","","","","","","",,
"Recipient 4","","","1-123-123-1234","","","","","","","",
"Recipient 5","","","1-123-123-1237","","","","","","","",""
"Recipient 6","",,"1-123-123-1239","","","",,"","","",
1-123-456-0001
1-123-456-0002
1-123-456-0003
1-123-456-0004

Recipient:
One or more valid and unique characters of the alphabet. You can not
add two entries with the same "Recipient" field.

Fax Number:
Must start with a valid number from 0 - 9 and be made up of a valid
dialing string. -or-  Start with an m.

If a field is longer than the above specification, it will be truncated
to the specification, thus you will loss some data.

Name for example having a 31 character maximum length:
Firstnameislong Middlenameislonger Lastnamenameislongest
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

The above name field will be truncated to:
Firstnameislong Middlenmaeislon
FaxBook Format (Three Records to End Of File):

"First Recipient","Name","Position / Dept","Fax

Note: The three above records occupy more than one lines each in this
example, but in actuality, each record is all on the same line even
though they may be long.

Programmers Notes:
"Jon Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""LF CR
"Bill Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""LF CR

Values:
CR  is Hex 0Dh, Decimal 13, Binary 00001101b
LF  is Hex 0Ah, Decimal 10, Binary 00001010b
EOF is Hex 1Ah, Decimal 26, Binary 00011010b

Definitions:
CR;  Return to the far left.
LF;  Drop down one line.
EOF; End Of File.

Note: The EOF is usually put there by most X-Base programs, but is
optional.

From a text-editor, the CR LF pair and EOF will not be visible, but rather
they will determine where the line of text breaks and where the file ends.
They are not visible because they are control characters. In the examples
a space is shown between "control characters."  This is to help you
visualize.

There are no spaces in a record except between words. In a text-editor a
valid record looks like this:
"Jon Krahmer","","","1-281-499-5939","","","","","","","",""

If a field has no data, you may NOT skip it but rather you must leave
it empty. Example:
"Recipient","Name","","Fax Number","VoiceNumber","","Address Line1","",
                                      "City","State","Zip Code",""LF CR

How to export your own information to a comma delimited file using
MS Access:

In MS Access:
- Open the database file.
- Select the [tables] tab.
- Highlight the table that you want to export to our software.
  Note:  Before exporting, be sure that the fields are set up correctly:
         Make sure that the recipient's name is in the 1st field.
     Make sure that the fax number is in the 4th field.
     (The only required fields to be filled are the 1st and 4th)
         Make sure that there is no more and no less than 12 fields.
         You will need to convert all field's data types to text if they
         are not yet defined as text. To do this, look at the table in
         Design View. Change each field's [Data Type] to text.
- Click on [File], [Export...].
- At the bottom, be sure the [Save as Type:] is set to
  [Text Files(*.txt; *.csv;... etc)].
- Browse to the folder where you installed the fax program so you can
  easily open this file later.
- Click on [Save].
- Check the [Delimited - Characters such as...] check box if it is not
  checked, then click [Next].
- Where it says, [Choose the delimiter that separates your fields], choose
  [Comma].
- Uncheck the [Include Field names on first row] if it is checked.
- Make sure the [Text Qualifier] is set to ["], and click on [Next].
- Click on Finish.

The file has now been exported to a comma delimited file. Now you are able
to import this file into the ElectraSoft fax software. Please refer to the
import instructions in this documentation on how to do this.

If you want to export a data file from a program other than MS Access and
you do not know how, please contact the software vender and ask for help
on how to set up instructions that will allow you to export your data to a
comma delimited file with each field surrounded with double quotes.

selection box to list all available Groups. Click on the desired Group
to be able to send a fax to each recipient in that group.

Make FaxBook
Select [Make and Edit FaxBook [Make]], [New] to create a new FaxBook.
Each FaxBook can hold up to 1,000 entries. The FaxBook that comes with
32bit Fax is called SAMPLE. Do not use the Sample FaxBook as all of
your data in it will be destroyed when you re-install.

Repair Book
Under some conditions a FaxBook may become corrupt and stop functioning
properly. Before choosing the Repair Book button you should make a
backup of the FaxBook. This function does it's best to save all entries
that are still valid. All existing group lists will be destroyed and
will need to be re-established. You should only use this function as a
last resort if nothing else works.

Selecting a Recipient
After highlighting an entry or group (Recipient) Select [OK] to accept
it as the default for your next send. The next fax you send will go to
this recipient or group of recipients unless you change the default
before sending by calling the FaxBook Entries function again.

Note: If you send a fax to the same area-code area that you are in, you
may need to go to the [FaxBook Entries] box and chick [Edit Entry] and
remove the 1 from the fax number. In some areas you will need to remove
the area-code also. IE: If you live in the Houston Texas area, and want
to send a fax to ElectraSoft, remove the 1 from the fax number, as
ElectraSoft is in the Houston Texas area.


Item 65


Selecting a FaxBook
Click on the arrow to the right of the [Make and Edit FaxBooks]
selection box to list all available FaxBooks. Click on the desired
FaxBook to load it.


Item 66, Chapter 15 - SetUp Dialog Box


To configure your 32BF system to your liking, select [FaxBar],
[Configure]. You will be presented with a dialog box within which you
may enter information and set parameters. These system settings become
the default or active parameters.

You may experiment with these settings to determine which represents the
most commonly used conditions for you. These settings serve to create
default conditions which are consistent with the manner in which you
most often use 32BF. Some parameters may be overridden from other places.

FaxModem Initialization String
You will be selecting an initialization-strings for your modem. This
string command tells the modem what flow control to run. The [Flow
Control] command tells Windows what flow control to run. As you can
see, it is important that they (modem and Windows) both use the same
flow control, either Rts/Cts or Xon/Xoff.

The only difference between the strings are the flow-control characters.
If you can not find your modem in this strings list, look in your modem
manual under "AT COMMAND" and find the flow-control characters. Then
select a string from this list that contains these characters.

This software supports class 1, class 2 and class 2.0. If you do not
know what class your modem is running, load the 32BF Event Monitor and
look.

Note:
If you have distorted fax or part of the fax is missing, you most likely
selected the wrong string or the wrong [Flow Control].

Exit String
Upon exiting this fax program, a de-initialization string is sent to your
modem. This exit string is [AT+FCLASS=0 ATZ AT&F]. If you want to override
this exit string with one of your own, put it in the [Exit String] edit
box. Otherwise leave this field blank.

32bit Fax TopMost
If you want the 32bit Fax dialog boxes to be TopMost and not fall behind
other program windows, select [(*)32bit Fax TopMost]. If you want other
program windows to be able to cover the 32bit Fax dialog boxes, select
[( )32bit Fax TopMost].

Modem Speed
Modem Port Speed
The DTE-DCE(software-to-modem-to-software) port speed should always be
19200 - 38400. This port speed has nothing to do with the phone line speed
or the speed that the fax will be sent or received. The recommended
fax/modem Port Speed is 19200. While in fax mode, many modems become
unreliable at speeds other than 19200.

Modem Line Speed
Modem Line Speed, in part, decides the speed that the fax will be sent or
received. When faxing, the local fax/modem and the remote fax/modem decide
the linespeed. If the line quality is poor or one of the fax/modems is
slower than the other, the fax/modems will [bump] down from 14400 to a
lower speed such as 9600, 7200, 4800, or 2400.

Once the line speed is set, the data must flow precisely at that speed for
the duration of that session. If the meaningful data comes faster than the
receiving fax/modem can handle it, there will be portions of the fax that
it will be forced to discard. For this reason; when the line speed is
high, the sender must send some [0 fill] (data that has no meaning and is
discarded by the receiver). At lower line speeds less [0 fill] is needed,
thus the fax may still transfer at the same speed even though the phone
line baud rate is lower. The modems work out the most efficient method.

Consider this. If sending a fax to a receiving fax machine that is
printing on thermal paper, the receiving fax machine can only print [so
fast]. So, regardless of the line speed between the sender and receiver,
the sender must send the data to the receiver only [so fast].

How to Set Modem Speed
If you are getting a lot of error conditions such as [Transmission
Warning], [Fatal Error], and [FCERROR] that are not caused by wrong
numbers, busy signals, or no answers, you may want to try going to the
ElectraSoft fax software [Configure] dialog box, [Configure Modem], and
analyze the [Modem Line Speed] and [Modem Port Speed]. There are four
possibilities for setting these two options. Set the [line speed] and
[port speed] options to one of these four combinations. Experiment until
you find the combination that works best for your modem. All modems should
work well using any combination of these settings, but some modems are
temperamental and will only work certain ways. Some older modems need the
lower speeds. Some newer modems need the higher speeds.

Item 67


Silent Answer
Silent Answer requires the support and cooperation of the remote sending
FaxModem/Machine with your receiving FaxModem. If the sending
FaxModem/Machine does not support "Silent Answer" by sending the "CNG"
tone, you will lose that Fax!  Please read all of this area before
using "Silent Answer". If you still want "Silent Answer", here is what
it does and how to implement it. If [(*)Silent Answer] is grayed out in
the SetUp dialog box your modem most likely does not support "Silent
Answer".

Silent answer lets one telephone line be used for two purposes;
receiving faxes with the FaxModem, and receiving voice calls with an
answering machine or telephone. When set to this mode, the FaxModem
lets your answering machine answer all incoming calls. If it detects
Fax "CNG" tones, it routes the call to 32bit Fax. Otherwise, it just
sits silently on the phone line while you or your answering machine
takes the call.

When the phone rings and after the second ring your FaxModem will start
monitoring the telephone line. If it detects a Fax tone, it will
receive the Fax. If it does not detect a fax tone, it will do nothing.

Silent Answer hardware installation
When installing the FaxModem, DO NOT plug the answering machine into the
telephone jack on the back of the FaxModem. Instead, do one of the
following:

a. Plug the answering machine and FaxModem into different wall jack
   (i.e. jacks in different rooms).

b. Plug the answering machine into a wall jack and the FaxModem into the
   answering machine.

c. If your answering machine has some kind of phone-jack switching; use
   this method. You must locate the two devices on separate extensions
   to make silent answer work correctly. This means you can not plug the
   answering machine into the FaxModem or vise versa. You can split a
   single extension with a duplex jack adapter. Radio Shack commonly
   carries this part number 279-357 for $4.49.

Also, if you have an older answering machine that does NOT automatically
turn itself off when it detects that a person or the FaxModem has
answered the call, you need a $7.95 adapter from Radio Shack,
part#43-107. This adapter disconnects the answering machine from the
phone line when the call is answered. It goes between the answering
machine and the wall jack.

Note:
The device that is picking up the line initially, must answer after, and
not before, the second ring. This means you should set your answering
machine to three rings for best results. If no other device picks up
the line by the time the number of rings that 32BF is set to is reached,
32BF will answer it and process a Fax.

To activate Silent Answer Load the 32bit Fax 'Control' program and select
[FaxBar], [Configure], [(*)Silent Answer]. Set [Rings until we answer:
[4]] and set your answering-machine to three rings.


Item 68


Distinctive Ring

Setting fax software to answer Distinctive Ring

Go to [Configure], Configure [Modem]

Method 1:
If your phone sends one long RING for regular rings and two short RINGs for
Distinctive Ring, and if your modem passes the RINGs through to the fax
software, then set [Type of RINGs to Answer] to [Distinctive Ring].

Method 2:
Some modems converts the two short RINGs for Distinctive Ring into one RING
before passing it to the fax software. In this case, you need to set [Type of
RINGs to Answer] to [All Rings] and configure your modem to pass only
Distinctive Rings to the fax software. This may be as simple as adding something
the fax software's [FaxModem Initialization String]. Contact the manufacturer
of your modem for a solution.

Fax Printing Options
Scaling Factor
API:
32bit Fax lets the Windows API (Application Program Interface) deal with
the scaling factors. 32bit Fax tells the API the size of the Fax and
tells it to make it fit on the printer properly. You should choose this
option if your printer's resolution is anything other than 300 X 300 DPI.

Pre 300 X 300:
32bit Fax converts the image to 300 X 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) before
handing it over to the Windows API. Select this option if you know that
your printing destination is going to be 300 X 300 DPI.

HP 300 X 300:
32bit Fax converts the image to 300 X 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) before
handing it over to the Windows API. This option is like Pre 300 X 300
excepted it was especially made to work on 300 X 300 DPI HP LaserJets
and compatibles. Use this only if your printer is in the 300 X 300 DPI
mode.

Aspect
A fax machine is capable of reading and writing 8.5" wide. Many
printers are not capable of printing to the very edge of the paper.
These printers usually print from 7" - 8" wide. For this reason 32bit
Fax has two aspect ratios.

Scale to Printer:
If printing a fax actual fax size causes you to lose part of the fax on
the left or right margin then you will want to use this option to scale
the fax to fit in the printer's margins. Use this option only when
necessary because in the process of scaling the fax there will be some
degradation in quality and it will be smaller than the original image.

Print Actual FAX size:
You will usually want to print actual fax size because most Faxes leave
a half inch margin on the left and right. The fax will be printed the
same size as the original image.


Item 69


Dither
All Faxes are either 200 X 200 DPI (fine) or 100 X 200 DPI (standard).
Most printers do not use these resolutions. For this reason 32BF must
scale the original Fax image to your printer's resolution. In the
process of scaling up or down to your printer 32BF has to make a
decision whether to drop a white dot or black dot.

Text:
During the scaling process if 32bit Fax is forced to drop a dot it will
drop a white one rather than a black one if it has a choice, thus
producing brilliant text.

Graphics:
During the scaling process if 32bit Fax is forced to drop a dot it will
drop a black one rather than a white one as opposed to text dithering
where the white dot would be dropped, thus producing shades of gray.

Default Sending Options
In this configuration section, you are configuring your outgoing
faxmail. The options include an outgoing directory where all fax files
are stored when created due to sending from Windows applications; and
the automatic tagging of these fax files for later saving or deleting
after the fax has been transmitted.


Item 70


Outgoing Directory
This is the default path in which outgoing fax files are saved. You may
change the directory path, at the time of sending, from the Send Fax box
by selecting [MoveAs].

Note:
Send Fax and (Save or Delete)
Select [Send Fax and (*)Save ( )Delete] if you want the fax to stay on
your disk after sending or [Send Fax and ( )Save (*)Delete] if you want
faxes to be deleted after sending. You can override the default at send
time from the Send Fax box.

Remember that you have the original program file generated from your
application as the source file, and can always open it and Convert it to
Fax again.

Note: Since the sending operation may result in an incomplete
transmission, or in the case of a group send, the fax file must be sent
many times, the fax file is not deleted immediately after sending. It
is tagged for deletion, later. You may delete all faxes tagged for
deletion from the Events Log Window by selecting [Purge Send + Deletes].

Default Receiving Options
The receiving options allow you to set default conditions for the
incoming directory in which inbound faxmail will be stored. You may
also choose among the following options for handling incoming
correspondence:


Item 71


Incoming Directory
The incoming directory is the drive and directory path into which you
wish to save incoming faxmail to disk. This is the default path only;
meaning that when you are notified of incoming correspondence, this path
will be selected and presented to you along with the file name in the
Notification box. However, you may route the file into any directory
you desire.

When you modify this path in the SetUp dialog box you must re-boot your
computer immediately for the new directory to take effect.

Hold in Receive Queue
Select [(*)Hold] if you want to hold all incoming correspondence until
you choose to deal with your faxmail. 32bit Fax stores all incoming
correspondence in a Receiving Queue until you are ready to deal with it.

To handle your faxmail, summon the Events Log Window, and select
[Receive Queue] or select [FaxBar], [Configure], [(*)Notify]. A
Notification box will be presented for each piece of faxmail in the
queue. Act upon each one as you choose until the queue is empty.

Notify upon Receipt
Select [(*)Notify] if you want 32BF to notify you each time you receive
faxmail. You will be presented with a Notification box informing you of
the receipt of faxmail, giving you a variety of options for handling
each piece.

Auto-Saving Fax upon Receipt
Select [(*)Auto Save] if you do not wish to be notified at all of
incoming faxmail. By choosing Auto-Save, incoming correspondence will
be automatically saved to disk in your INBOX directory
(C:\32BITFAX\INBOX\00000001).

This selection can be dangerous because you will receive faxes but you
will not be aware that you have received them. If you use auto-save you
can use the Events Log or the Fax Viewer to find your faxes in the INBOX.

All correspondence will be saved in the incoming Directory and named
according to a date stamp, as follows:

MMDD0000.DCX

Whereas:
MM    o is the month,
DD    o is the day, and
0000  o is a numbering system denoting the number of files received that
        day
.DCX  o is a library of .PCX files (fax file)


Item 72


Auto-Print Fax upon Receipt
Select [(*)Auto Print] if you choose to have your incoming faxmail sent
to the printer upon arrival. This feature will cause your computer and
printer to act like a normal fax machine with the added benefit of
having your faxmail printed on regular bond paper, particularly if you
have a laser jet printer. After the fax has been auto-printed it will
be saved in your INBOX directory. You will receive no further
notification as to where the fax is.

Running as an NT Service
If you are running 32bit Fax as an NT Service, check:
[X]Running as an NT Service - Do not close at: [OnEndSession]

Running 32bit Fax as a Windows NT Service will allow 32bit Fax to be
active when there is no one logged on. People can log in and out of NT
without interrupting the sending and receiving of faxes.

To learn how to run 32bit Fax as an NT Srevice, go to:
http://www.ElectraSoft.com/srvany/srvany.htm

Your Name
Your Name (up to 31 letters) will appear on the fax header of each fax
you send unless you deselect [(*)Page Header] to override it from the
Send Fax box.

Modem ID
Modem ID, usually your fax number (up to 20 characters), will appear in
the Recipient's, Event Monitor identifying you as the remote sender.


Item 73


Default Cover Page Settings
The Cover Page configuration involves which parameter is to be used as
the default condition when sending faxmail. Remember that the Send Fax
box contains all Cover Page options too. You may select from among
them, overriding the defaults that you set here, at the time you send a
fax.

To select the desired default, click in the appropriate option button
and the circle will be blackened indicating the selection is made.

No Cover Page
Selecting [(*)No Cover Page] causes no Cover Page to be sent, unless
overridden in the Send Fax box.

Include Cover Page
Selecting [(*)Include Cover Page] will cause a Cover Page to be included
with all your faxmail, unless overridden in the Send Fax box.

Cover Page Only
Selecting [(*)Cover Page Only] causes only the Cover Page to be sent
unless overridden in the Send Fax box. Since text as well as data
fields can be placed onto the Cover Page, this is an efficient way to
create and send quick memos and notes.

Default Cover Page
A drop-down list box is provided which lists the Cover Pages present in
your system. To display the choices, click on the down arrow and a list
box will appear containing the Cover Pages you have created. Select the
Cover Page you would like to become the default and the list box will
close, displaying your choice.


Item 74


Default Fax Resolution
Fax documents may be sent in either Coarse or Fine Resolution. This
setting determines the amount of DPI (Dots Per Inch) to be used in
constructing the BITMAP fax file that is transmitted by facsimile
technology.

Coarse Fax Resolution
Select [(*)Coarse (100 X 200)]

Fine Fax Resolution
Select [(*)Fine (200 X 200)] Fine Resolution is 200 X 200 DPI. See:
What is Fax Resolution


Item 75, Chapter 16 - Faxmail Management


Importance of File Management
Managing your faxmail correspondence becomes an important consideration
as you rely more heavily on fax technology as a means of document
transfer. Much of the file management capability of 32BF is designed to
allow you to not only maintain a record of all faxmail transactions
through the Events Log, but to provide a simplified method of managing
faxmail.

Files in the System
Application Program Files Your computer generated documents, created in
your favorite Windows Programs, are your original documents. Manage
them as you have in the past maintaining the directories and
subdirectories which make most sense for you. Be sure to continue to
make backup copies of all important files for protection. Treat them
with the same importance as you would any SOURCE documents in your system.

Fax Format Bitmap Files
When you send a document by fax from any Windows program, 32BF must
first convert your document into a format which fax technology can
transmit. A second file, a Bitmap File is created for this purpose.
This FAX FILE will be denoted by the three character extension of DCX or
PCX.

This file does not interfere with your original document in any way, it
makes a converted copy for fax transmission. Upon transmitting your
correspondence, both files, your original file saved by the application
program, and the FAX FILE as a bitmap, exist on your hard disk.


Item 76


Managing faxmail Directories
Based upon your industry, and the tasks which you perform with your
computer each day, you probably implement a combination or variation of
several schemes for organizing information on your disk.

You will find it very useful to generate a philosophy which relates your
correspondence, document and file generation habits to fax information
delivery system.

Route Your Faxmail
You may route your faxmail to other locations that are appropriate upon
sending from the Send Fax box, using [MoveAs]. Direct your incoming
faxmail into the desired directory and under any name from the
Notification box, when receiving faxmail.

If you have not named and saved your faxmail at the time of sending or
receiving, you may do so from the Events Log Window or the Windows File
Manager.

Managing Fax Files
As described above, fax files are identified by a Date-Stamp name. In
order to make the file name more meaningful, use every opportunity to
rename the file.

Throughout 32BF, there are a variety of opportunities for saving fax
files under names of your choice.

Managing incoming Fax Files
Fax files are large and occupy a considerable amount of disk space.

The Notification box offers you a full range of options for handling
incoming files.

If your free disk space is low, you may try one of the following schemes
which will provide you with a sufficient level of comfort about deleting
the file:


Item 77


View and Delete
After you view incoming faxmail, if you determine that a permanent copy
is not needed, delete the file from disk.

Print and Delete
Make a hard copy by printing the faxmail and deleting the file from your
hard disk.

Backup and Delete
If you find it desirable to retain a permanent copy of incoming
correspondence, using File Manager or other means, copy your faxmail to
a floppy or tape drive for archive storage.

Naming incoming faxmail
View the file immediately upon receipt, and if you choose to save it,
you may then re-name and save it to the appropriate directory on disk.
The new name, which will be more meaningful to you than the cryptic
date- stamp name, will appear throughout the 32BF system, greatly
simplifying file management.

In this manner, you will be able to link the program file, the log entry
and the fax format file together.

Managing faxmail with Auto-Save
If you prefer Auto-Save to any of the Notification schemes, you may
choose to handle your correspondence through the Events Log Window.

Open the Events Log Windows by selecting [FaxBar], [Events Log]. You
may then delete, rename, move, copy, view, print, and re-send your fax.


Item 78


Managing faxmail from Events Log
If you have not taken any action on files at the time of sending or
receiving your correspondence, the Events Log gives you an opportunity
to completely manage your faxmail system.

Information pertaining to each faxmail transaction that you perform is
maintained in the Events Log, allowing you a variety of file management
options.

Managing faxmail from the Fax Viewer Window
The Fax Viewer Window contains a variety of file management routines.
Viewing the fax first will assist in determining how you choose to
manage the file. You may then re-name and save, print, copy, or delete
them.

Managing faxmail from Windows File Manager
Summons the Windows File Manager and locate the directory where the
faxes are and filter out all file except the ones with the extension of
DCX. This can be done by selecting [View], [By File Type] and the By
File Type dialog box will appear. In the Name edit box, type *.DCX and
select [OK].

Viewing a DCX Fax file with Windows File Manager
Double-click the DCX fax file with your left mouse button and the 32BF
Fax Viewer dialog box will appear displaying the selected fax.
See: Fax Viewer Program.

Printing a DCX Fax file with Windows File Manager
Double-click the DCX fax file with your left mouse button and the 32BF
Fax Viewer dialog box will appear displaying the selected fax. Select
[File], [Print] and follow the normal 32BF Print Fax routine. See
Printing a Fax


Item 79

button, drag the fax to the directory where you want it and drop it by
letting up on the left mouse button.
