RECVQ(5F)RECVQ(5F)NAME
recvq/fax* - received facsimile document format
DESCRIPTION
Facsimile received by HylaFAX are placed in the recvq sub-
directory. Each facsimile document is stored as a single
Class F Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file. This format
includes the following information:
o page width and length
o horizontal and vertical resolution
o page orientation
o phone number of the sender
o date and time document was received
o number of scanlines received with errors
o maximum number of consecutive scanlines received with errors
o whether or not bad scanlines were regenerated by the receiver
o make and model of the modem used to receive the document
o name of the host computer on which the document was received
Image data is written using either CCITT T.4 or CCITT T.6
compression. By default data is written using the com-
pression scheme/data format negotiated by the sender and
receiver. However, if faxgetty(8C) is configured to do
copy quality checking then data is written using the com-
pression scheme defined by the RecvDataFormat configura-
tion parameter; see config(5F).
A scanline that is regenerated by the receiver because of
an error is typically just a copy of the previous good
scanline.
The files in the recvq directory are created with the pro-
tection mode specified in the server configuration
file(s). By default, files are created with mode 0600 and
owned by the fax user, which means that they are accessi-
ble only to the fax user.
To print a facsimile on a POSTSCRIPT(R) printer, the
fax2ps(1) program can be used.
