Specifications
This forces a synchronization-lock, and starts the FAX displaying
regardless of what kind of signal is being monitored. Since this
synchronization lock was not sent by the transmitting station, the
picture will probably not be correctly positioned on the page.
Rather, it will likely appear to be split in half with the left half
of the picture on the right half of the page, and the right half of
the picture on the left half of the page.
To correct for this, a justification command has been included that
allows the user to shift the entire image to the left in 1/2 inch
increments. For example if the left-edge of the picture appears
roughly 4-1/2 inches away from the left edge of the paper, issuing the
command JUSTIFY 9 will shift the left edge of the picture to the left
4-1/2 inches (9 X 0.5 inch) correcting its justification.
The PK-900 will respond with:
JUstify now 9
This procedure will not be necessary if the PK-900 synchronizes from
the transmitted facsimile signal. This procedure is also not
necessary if you are using an AEA PAKRATT with FAX program. AEA
programs allow the image to be justified after it has been received.
To stop the display, you may either exit the facsimile mode by
changing to another mode or enter the RCVE command, which puts the
PK-900 back into facsimile standby receive. Standby receive is the
same as if you have just entered the FAX mode from another mode. The
PK-900 will wait until it receives the synchronization signal from a
facsimile station before beginning to display again.
9.6 Facsimile Operating Tips
If you are using an AEA PAKRATT WITH FAX program, consult the
program manual for more information and helpful hints.
9.6.1 Setting PRTYPE
Before FAX can be sent to your compute, you must choose the correct
"printer" type with the PRTYPE Command. AEA programs do this for you
automatically. The PK-900 defaults to the Epson format. See the
PRTYPE command in the Command Summary for the other types supported.
9.6.2 Printing Direction (LEFTRITE)
Weather FAX as well as most other facsimile displays from left to
right, but occasionally you may find a station that is reversed. If
you come across such a transmission, you may simply issue the command
LEFTRITE OFF to correct this. The PK-900 will respond with:
LEftrite now OFF
