EMBEDDED COMMANDS
177
Capabilities and limitations
The @+IMAGE and @+INCLUDE embedded commands must be all uppercase. The remainder of the embedded
image statement (e.g., file name, position coordinates, options, etc.) is case-insensitive.
The @+IMAGE and @+INCLUDE statements can only include single-page TIFF image files. Multi-page TIFF files are
not supported, and only the first page will be processed.
Embedded image statements can only refer to files in these directories:
$VSIFAX/lib/images
$VSIFAX/faxq/<user_ID>/images
You must use the vupload command to place image files in these directories. Copying and pasting the files is not
sufficient.
Because these files must be located in one of these directories, full path names are not required nor are they
supported.
Embedded tags
Using vfx Tags describes ways to use tags directly or to pass text files containing tag statements to the fax server.
There is yet another way to use vfx tags that does not require ASCII text files.
You can embed vfx tags directly into ASCII text, PCL, or PostScript files. If vfx encounters specific embedded tag
sequences in these files, it uses them to create the fax envelope.
Embedded tags are a good way to extend print-to-fax functionality and implement more powerful fax integrations.
Capabilities and limitations
Unlike the @+IMAGE command, embedded tags are scanned only if the file is piped or redirected to vfx as STDIN.
