NAME¶
recvq/fax* - received facsimile document format
DESCRIPTION¶
Facsimile received by
HylaFAX are placed in the
recvq
subdirectory. Each facsimile document is stored as a single Class F Tagged
Image File Format (
TIFF) file. This format includes the
following information:
• page width and length
• horizontal and vertical resolution
• page orientation
• phone number of the sender
• date and time document was received
• number of scanlines received with errors
• maximum number of consecutive scanlines received with errors
• whether or not bad scanlines were regenerated by the receiver
• make and model of the modem used to receive the document
• name of the host computer on which the document was received
Image data is written using either
CCITT T.4 or
CCITT
T.6 compression. By default data is written using the compression
scheme/data format negotiated by the sender and receiver. However, if
faxgetty(8) is configured to do copy quality checking then data is
written using the compression scheme defined by the
RecvDataFormat
configuration parameter; see
hylafax-config(5).
A scanline that is regenerated by the receiver because of an error is typically
just a copy of the previous good scanline.
The files in the
recvq directory are created with the protection mode
specified in the server configuration file(s). By default, files are created
with mode 0600 and owned by the
fax user, which means that they are
accessible only to the fax user.
To print a facsimile on a POSTSCRIPT® printer, the
fax2ps(1) program
can be used.
