2. Now enable ‘Scan folder for text files’ and enter the folder name
in which all files (to be faxed out) will be saved.
3. Now specify a cover page onto which the text in the text file must be
formatted by selecting an appropriate cover page from the list box.
To send out a text file automatically:
1. Create a text file with your message text in it.
2. Add a line at the top of the text, starting with a double colon(::),
specifying the recipient’s first name, company, last name, department,
email address (all optional) and the fax number.
For example, to send a fax to Joe Johnson who is in the sales
department at the company GFI and whose email address is
sales@gfi.com and fax number 382419, the entry will be as follows:
::Joe, GFI, Johnson, Sales, sales@gfi.com, 382419
The fax number can be placed anywhere in the syntax. You can also
specify the fax number by it self. For example:
:: 382419
The complete syntax for this line is as follows:
::<first name>, <company>, <last name>, <department>, <email
address>, <fax number>
3. You can add additional send options by adding a second line,
preceded by a double colon, specifying valid fax options as described
in the paragraph below ‘Fax options’.
