Operating DosFax LITE andWinFax LITE at the Same Time

WinFax LITE is the Windows version of DosFax LITE. Bothproducts look and work very much alike. In fact, they can sharethe same logs and phonebook on systems where both programsexist. Nevertheless, their operating environments-DOS andWindows, respectively-are very different. As such, you shouldonly attempt to operate in each environment with the productdesigned for that environment. For example, it is not recom-mended you use DosFax LITE for sending or receiving faxes inthe DOS window in Windows; use only WinFax LITE whenworking in Windows.

Note: If you use WinFax LITE and DosFax LITE together, do notload the WinFax (receive in DOS) TSR. The DosFax LITECommunication TSR, when loaded, will perform the re-ceive function in DOS. When you enter Windows, theDosFax LITE Communication TSR is temporarily dis-abled and will re-enable automatically when you exitWindows.


Sending Faxes 3This section explains in detail the process of sending a fax, anddescribes related activities including:

l monitoring the progress of faxes you have sent, and

l rescheduling or cancelling faxes.

DosFax LITE provides two methods of sending a fax.

n Sending from any DOS application

Generate a fax of the document you are working on in yourcurrent DOS application such as word processing, desktoppublishing, forms, spreadsheet or database. Add a cover page,if desired, before sending.

DosFax LITE’s Capture (print) and Communication (send/re-ceive) TSRs fit seamlessly into your DOS environment andwork easily with all your DOS applications.

w Sending from DosFax LITE Administrator

Sending from DosFax LITE Administrator is best suited tosending brief fax messages “on the fly”. Type or insert a shorttext block into a predefined DosFax LITE fax cover page.

These two methods share the same basic procedure with someminor differences. The following chapters highlight thedifferences.

The following tables tell you how to select program menus,commands, fields, options and list items using the keyboard andusing a mouse.

Sending from a DOS Application Sending Faxes

Sending from a DOS Application

After you load DosFax LITE Communication and Capture TSRs,you can send a fax without leaving the DOS application in whichyou prepared your document.

Normally, DosFax LITE Communication and Capture TSRs areloaded as part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file each time you startyour computer. However, if they are not already loaded, do allfollowing steps; otherwise, start at step 3 to send a fax.

1. You must first load the DosFax LITE Communication TSR. Goto the directory in which DosFax LITE resides and, at the DOSprompt, type . . .

FAXCOM

and then press ENTER. The following message appears on thescreen . . .

initializing ModemPlease Wait!

When the fax/modem is successfully initialized and theDosFax LITE Communication TSR loaded, confirmation ap-pears on the screen.

2. You must next load the DosFax LITE Capture TSR so you cansend your application’s print output for faxing. Type . . .

FAXCAP

and then press ENTER. When the TSR is successfully loaded,confirmation appears on the screen.

Notes: l The sequence in which Communication and CaptureTSRs is loaded is crucial. You must load FAXCOMbefore FAXCAP. Failure to do so may cause data inconventional memory above 320K to be swapped outtemporarily to EMS or XMS memory, or to disk. Inaddition, any network TSRs, such as IPX and NET3,must be loaded before DosFax LITE TSRs.


Sending Faxes Sending from a DOS Application

l To unload DosFax LITE Communication and CaptureTSRs from memory, simply add -U to the end of eachTSR load command. You must type and then ENTERthe following commands in this order . . .

FAXCAP -uFAXCOM -u

DosFax LITE TSR and Capture unloaded messagesappear on the screen.

l While the DosFax LITE Communication TSR is loaded,do not load any other communication TSR. If anothercommunication TSR is loaded, unload it beforecontinuing.

3. You can now start up a DOS application and prepare a docu-ment for faxing. When you are ready to fax your document, youmust first switch Capture on to redirect your print output. Holddown left CTRL and SHIFT keys simultaneously and then pressC. Three beeps sound.

Capture may be toggled on and off as necessary. Once Captureis on, it remains on until you:

t Cancel capture by holding down left CTRL and SHIFT keyssimultaneously and then press x (two beeps sound), or

l Send your document(s) as a fax by holding down left CTRLand SHIFT keys simultaneously and then press F.

While Capture is on, you can return to normal printing byentering the Capture Pause mode. Hold down left CTRL andSHIFT keys simultaneously and then press P to suspend capturetemporarily so you can print normally. Three beeps sound.

Capture Pause may also be toggled on and off as necessary.Once Capture Pause is on, it remains on until you use the samekey sequence-hold down left CTRL and SHIFT keys simulta-neously and then press P (or C) to return to Capture.

To view Capture/Pause status, at any time, hold down left CTRLand SHIFT keys simultaneously and then press I. Press any keyto continue.

Note: You do not need to capture data to send a fax from DOS.You can always send a cover page with a brief note at anytime.

6. Fill in the appropriate details in the Fax Send dialog box asfollows:

a) Recipient

TO - Type in the name of the intended recipient (a person,company name or a combination of the two). To select aname from your online phonebook, use the Select button.The To field is filled in automatically from your phonebookselection.

Number - Select the Number field and type in the faxtelephone number of the intended recipient. The actualnumber dialed by the fax system is formed by appendingthis number to the Prefix number. If you select a name fromyour online phonebook, this field is filled in automatically.



Prefix -The prefix is a digit or series of digits that must bedialed before dialing the actual fax number. The dial prefixcan be up to 9 characters in length.

For example, many PBX office systems require “9” be dialedto obtain an outside line. In this case, you select this fieldand type “9,“. (The comma adds a short pause before therest of the telephone number is dialed.) This dial prefixwould then always be dialed prior to calling the fax number.

The default value of the dial prefix is set in the Fax/ModemSetup dialog box that is accessible via the Setup command(refer to page 5-12). This value is automatically placed in theFax Send dialog box, and you typically will not need tochange it.

Select - Use this command to view and choose from entriesin your online fax phonebook. The Phonebook Entries dialogbox appears on the screen. (The following shows samplep h o n e b o o k s e l e c t i o n s . )

If you are using DosFax LITE for the first time, your pho-nebook might not yet have any entries in it. Refer to thePhonebook Record and Phonebook Group commands(pages 5-27 and 5-30, respectively) for instructions on set-ting up your online directory of fax recipients, numbers anddistribution lists.

When your phonebook is set up, the individual recipientsand groups of recipients are displayed. Select PhonebookRecord to view individual recipients and Phonebook Groupto view send groups and their members. From each dialog



box, you can select a different recipient or group by selectingthe appropriate name.

Select OK when you have chosen the desired recipient orgroup. The To and Number fields in the Fax Send dialog boxare then filled in automatically.

b) Time to send -This field displays the current time on yourcomputer. If you wish to send a fax immediately, do notchange the setting displayed here. If you wish to send thefax at a different time, change the hours, minutes or secondsvalue by selecting the field and typing a new value. Use theleft and right arrow keys (t,+) on the keyboard to switchbetween hours, minutes and seconds.

Scheduling faxes to be sent at other times (refer also toScheduling Faxes, page 3-15) lets you accommodate interna-tional time differences and take advantage of lower tele-phone rates outside of peak hours.

c) Date to send -This field displays the current date on yourcomputer. If you wish to send a fax immediately, do notchange the setting displayed here. If you wish to send thefax on a different date, select the field and type a new value.As with Time to send, switch between month, day and yearusing the left and right arrow keys (+,-+I on the keyboard.

Note: The DosFax LITE Communication TSR must be loadedin memory if you have scheduled faxes to be sent at futuretimes.

d) Resolution - Select the resolution of the fax transmissionas either 200 x 200 dots per inch (dpi) or 200 x 100 dpi.

e) Cover Page - DosFax LITE lets you create a simple faxcover page, on demand, if you have not already preparedone in the application from which you are faxing. TheDosFax LITE cover page displays a standard informationblock (to, from, date, time, number of pages) to which youcan add a message, if desired.

One advantage of the DosFax LITE cover page is that it canautomatically extract information from sources such as thefollowing . . .



l recipient name from the To field of the Fax Send dialog box,or from a list of names in a phonebook group

l sender name from the Sender Name field of the Fax/ModemSetup dialog box

l time and date from your computer settings

Using DosFax LITEAdministrator 5When you send or receive a fax using DosFax LITE, the DosFax LITECommunication TSR performs the actual dialing or places thefax/modem in receive mode, establishes the connection with theremote fax device and transmits or receives the fax image.

DosFax LITE Administrator provides you with information andcapabilities that make sending and receiving faxes especiallyeasy and efficient. DosFax LITE Administrator allows you to dothe following:

l Change the way DosFax LITE is configured to send and receivefaxes.

l View fax send and receive status messages.

l Create and maintain an online phonebook of fax recipients,telephone numbers and broadcast groups.

l List faxes scheduled to be sent and received faxes you have notyet deleted. Obtain information on these events, and view thepages making up any fax event. Manipulate the list by remov-ing events and rescheduling faxes to be sent.

The DosFax LITE Communication TSR monitors the current dateand time on your computer, and compares that information withthe date and time required to send any faxes you have scheduledfor future delivery. When a scheduled time comes up, theDosFax LITE Communication TSR gives the fax/modem the ap-propriate commands to establish a connection and send the fax.After the fax is sent or a send has been attempted, DosFax LITEAdministrator stores information about the event in the send log.If DosFax LITE is set up to receive faxes automatically, theDosFax LITE Communication TSR constantly monitors the linefor incoming faxes. As with send events, DosFax LITE Adminis-trator stores information about received faxes in the receive log.

Handling Fax, Events

DosFax LITE lets you send a fax at any date and time in the future.This feature lets you accommodate international time differencesand take advantage of lower telephone rates outside of peakhours.

Event List

Whenever you send, schedule to send, or receive a fax,DosFax LITE enters each fax “event” into a list of pending andreceived items. If the fax is to be sent immediately, transmissionoccurs almost directly after DosFax LITE processing is com-pleted. If the fax is scheduled for future sending, the event is kepton the pending list until its time and date are current with thetime and date on your computer. Received fax events are loggedin at the date and time they are received.

The fax event list appears in the DosFax LITE Administrator’sdisplay area as follows:


Using DosFax LITE Administrator DosFax LITE Administrator Activities

Each event is listed with the following information from left toright:

l PEND if the fax is scheduled to be sent; RECD if the fax isnewly received

l date and time the fax is scheduled to be sent or was received

l number of pages in the fax (including cover page)

l name or fax number of the recipient or calling station, and

l event status.

The event at the top of the list is the next fax to be sent, or thereceived fax that has been on the list longest. The event listdisplays a maximum of 100 events at a time; however, you canschedule an unlimited number of faxes.

During an actual send or receive, transmission information dis-plays about the modem’s sending/receiving status; number ofthe page being transmitted; elapsed transmission time, in min-utes and seconds; and the other fax device’s station identification.

Logging Fax Events

The send and receive logs provide historical listings of previousfax events. The logs include successful events, cancelled eventsand those that failed due to conditions such as transmissionerrors, busy signals, or no reply.

Events are sorted according to the date and time they occurred,with the most recent events appended to the end of the list.Additional information at the bottom of both logs shows moredetails about your fax transmissions and receptions. In addition,you can resubmit faxes to be sent again, view sent or receivedfaxes and print log reports, among other activities. Refer to SendLog, page 5-18 and Receive Log, page 5-23 for further details.

Setting Up Your Phonebook

DosFax LITE Administrator lets you enter frequently used faxrecipients into an online fax directory, or phonebook. You can alsocombine a number of recipients in a phonebook into a singlegroup, or distribution list. This allows you to send-or broad-cast-a single fax to a group of recipients, rather than a separate


Menus and Commands Using DosFax LITE Administrator

fax to each recipient. Refer to Phonebook, page 5-27, for informa-tion on this feature.

For example, if you send product bulletins to all your dealers anddistributors, you could create a phonebook group called “Prod-uct Bulletins”. You would then add the individual phonebookentries for each of your dealer and distributor companies to thisphonebook group. You would create your product bulletins in aDOS word processing or desktop publishing application and“print capture” them. When you go to send the bulletins usingDosFax LITE and you are asked to enter the fax destination, youwould choose the “Product Bulletins” group in the phonebook.DosFax LITE sends the fax to each member of the “ProductBulletins” group.

Solving CommonProblems

The following are some common problems you may encounterduring the installation and operation of DosFax LITE, and howyou can probably solve them.

Installing DosFax LITE

Situation

DosFax LITE does not recognize your fax/modem as compatible.

Solution

At the DOS prompt of the directory in which DosFax LITEresides, type . . .

MODEM

and then press ENTER. In the dialog box that appears, selectUnknown, if not already selected. Select OK and DosFax LITE willtest your COM ports to detect the port and type of fax/modeminstalled. The Checking Port and Modem dialog box that appearsdisplays important information about your fax/modem. If thefax/modem located is not compatible, record the displayed in-formation and contact your fax/modem manufacturer.

Situation

The mouse attached to your computer system is Microsoft com-patible and works with several applications. When runningDosFax LITE Administrator, the mouse does not work.

DosFax LITE User’s Guide A-1

Sending Faxes Solving Common Problems

Solution

Some applications contain special driver support when using amouse. DosFax LITE does not because it uses the mouse driverinstalled before running the application. You must, therefore,load either MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS before startingDosFax LITE in order to use a mouse with DosFax LITE. See yourmouse documentation for information.

Situation

When attempting to use a hot key sequence to invoke a functionin DosFax LITE, a function from within the current DOS applica-tion is invoked instead.

Solution

The setup for DosFax LITE allows you to change the key se-quences for invoking TSR program operations. You should finda key sequence not used in any of your applications, and redefinethat particular sequence for the TSR program. Refer to Hot Keyson page 2-12.

Sending Faxes

Situation

DosFax LITE stops operating- or “hangs” -as you are starting to send a fax. The “initializing” message appears withinDosFax LITE Administrator’s Fax Event Status dialog box-butthen nothing else happens.

Solution

This situation arises due to a communication problem betweenyour DosFax LITE software and your fax/modem. Check thefollowing:

1. Ensure your fax/modem is connected to the serial port speci-fied for DosFax LITE when you installed it (for example, “COM1 - Modem Type: Class2”)

A-2 DosFax LITE User’s Guide

Solving Common Problems Sending Faxes

2. If your fax/modem appears to be connected to the specifiedport, you can further check the connection. At the DOS promptof the directory in which DosFax LITE resides, type . . .

MODEM

and then press ENTER. Select Unknown in the dialog box thatappears. DosFax LITE will test your COM ports to detect theport and type of fax/modem installed. The Checking Port andModem dialog box that appears displays important informa-tion about your fax/modem. If the fax/modem located iscompatible, select Continue to initialize and set up yourfax/modem for DosFax LITE. If not, record the displayedinformation and contact your fax/modem manufacturer.

Situation

You receive “No carrier” messages and are unable to send faxesto international destinations.

Solution

Increasing the value of the wait time for carrier/dial tone on yourfax/modem can alleviate this problem. Add the following settingto the Init String field of the Fax/Modem Setup dialog box (acces-sible from DOS via the SETUP command):

ATS7=n

where “n” is an increased carrier wait time value in seconds. Forexample, you may wish to increase a 30 second wait time to 40or 45 seconds.

Attempt to send another fax to an international destination.

Situation

Your fax will not send to a fax machine connected to a switchingdevice that automatically directs the call to either the fax machineor answering machine.


Sending Faxes Solving Common Problems

Solution

When sending a fax, DosFax LITE could encounter a phone lineswitcher. Phone line switchers attempt to detect if a fax device iscalling and, if so, to redirect the call to the fax machine. Detectionmay take several seconds. To ensure DosFax LITE allows enoughtime to make a connection, add the following initialization stringin the DosFax LITE setup

ATS7=90

DosFax LITE will then wait up to 90 seconds to make aconnection.

Situation

Some printers emulate the Epson FX85 dot matrix printer.DosFax LITE also emulates this printer. However, because print-ers that emulate other printers may also have extra enhance-ments, such as additional fonts, when attempting to fax withthese enhancements the results are not correct.

Solution

DosFax LITE is designed to emulate the popular Epson FX85printer standard. Any enhancements that do not comply withthese standards, such as additional fonts, will not be recognizedby DosFax LITE. Refer to Appendix B for more information.


Solving Common Problems Receiving Faxes

Receiving Faxes

Situation

Your telephone line is for both voice and fax calls, andDosFax LITE answers all calls, including voice calls.

Solution

Until the telephone is answered, the type of incoming call cannotbe determined. You can purchase an automatic fax line switcherthat will answer the telephone and direct the call as required. Or,if you prefer, you can contact your phone company about aservice called “Identacall”. Identacall gives you up to three dif-ferent phone numbers, each with its own unique ring pattern.One number would then detect the fax ring pattern and send thecall to DosFax LITE; another number would detect voice callsonly. The best solution, however, is to have a dedicated fax lineinstalled by your phone company.

Situation

When you start up DosFax LITE, the following message appears:

Modem is not responding

Solution

Check the following:

1. Make sure your fax/modem is properly installed and switchedon.

2. Go to the directory in which DosFax LITE resides and, at theDOS prompt, type . . .

MODEM

Printing to Fax,and Fonts BDosFax LITE emulates the Epson FX85 dot matrix printer andearlier Epson models, and can send documents as faxes from anyDOS application that can print to an Epson printer.

It is simple to “print to fax”:

1. Load the DosFax LITE Capture TSR, FAXCAP.EXE.

2. In your DOS application, select an Epson model printer for youroutput and prepare your document for printing normally.

Note: Choose an Epson printer that is the closest Epson modelto an Epson FX85 dot matrix printer. For Epson emula-tion, DosFax LITE provides 10, 12 and 16 pitch fonts.When printing to your real printer, select any appropriateprinter model.

3. Switch Capture on by holding down left CTRL and SHIFT keyssimultaneously and then press C.

4. Print to the parallel (LPT) port DosFax LITE is configured for.DosFax LITE captures the print data, but instead of printing topaper, it converts your print output to a fax image for sending.

Hint: Assign different parallel ports for printing and for faxing.For example, define your real printer on LPTl for actualprinting and an Epson printer on LPT2 for DosFax LITEprint capture. Then, when faxing, you need only switchprinter ports within your application.
