PlanetPress Fax
PlanetPress Fax output tasks are used to make request to PlanetPress Fax, which creates faxes and
sends them to a faxing program.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Fax properties you configure in the task’s Properties dialog box,
there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Fax outputs processed by a given computer (See
"PlanetPress Fax Plug-In Preferences" on page 571). Note that those options are specific to each
PlanetPress Fax installation and that they are immediately applied.
Input
Any data file with a valid Emulation. Metadata is optional and can be used to specify the fax number and
information to send the file. Alternatively, a TIFFfile in the proper page size and compression (CCITT Group
4) can be used.
Processing
If a data file with metadata is used, the data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Connect document,
converted into a multi-page TIFF file with CCITTGroup 4 compression, and sent to the PlanetPress Fax
host specified in the properties. If the file is a TIFFfile in the proper format and the "Pass-through"option is
selected, no processing is done, the file is sent as-is.
Output
ATIFF in the CCITTGroup 4 compression, and information for the FAXserver to know where to send the
file.
