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 Design
document, converted into a multi-page TIFF file with CCITTGroup 4 compression, and sent to
the PReS 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.
