The VSI-FAX server integrates via the Print command. This command is used to send a document to the default
printer. You can manually emulate this behavior by defining the "VSIFAX server" printer as default and right-clicking
on your document to choose "print". The server will not be able to image the document if you get any pop-ups here
(first time launch message for example). If this is working manually, you can launch a test conversion with the -o
option as with vfx.

debug = on
