I believe Zeta fax has an API. But I am not sure of its capabilities. What you mention is possible, but performing OCR on a fax image (which is usually low quality 200 dpi) isn’t feasible, unless the receiving fax is clear of handwriting, and is in a basic font (such as ariel or times roman) and is clear, 12point or greater.

Thanks for your feedback Frank.

I finally got a resolution on the Failure to train. Perhaps I can save someone a tech support call (&#3630.00).

Disable all compression in Winfax Program Setup/ Modem & Comm Devices/Properties/Fax (tab)/(look under options)uncheck all boxes.

Also remember to clear the temp files on your hard disk.

I haven’t installed the fax software the other machines. My scanner is attached to this specific machine. I’ll will see if it’ll work on my laptop.

Here are the settings:
Made sure ECM was unchecked, and;
Lowered connection speeds to 2400, and;
Disabled FIFO

I’m using an external Motorola VoiceSurfr 56K modem to send faxes.

Under the General Tab:
Communication Port – TAPI
Initialize – 19200
Volume on – Until Connected
Modem Type – Class 1

Fax Tab:
Modem Connected to a Regular or Cellular (PCS/GSM digital)

Initial String Sequence –
1) AT&F&D2&C1&K3S7=55
2)
3)
4)

Flow Control – AT&K3

Use hardware flow control – CHECKED

Reset – ATZ

I’ve run all the modem diagnostics I could find. It checks out OK

Thanks

The only thing to watch out for is if your PrintOut doesn’t actually print something (ie, the Page(s) being requested don’t exist). Word doesn’t seem to throw an error in that case and the IsEntryIDReady loop will run forever. Best approach would be to modify it as follows (also handle situation if WinFax Controller goes out to lunch:

TheTime = Now()

Do While WinFax.IsEntryIDReady(0) <> 1
If Abs(DateDiff(“s”, TheTime, Now())) > 30 Then
MsgBox “No EntryID after 30 seconds. Pass = ” & CStr(Pass)
Exit Do
End If
DoEvents
Loop

You can forget about the Abs if you can remember (I can’t) which date comes first.

Is there anything tricky if I am using WinFax in Client/Server mode?

[Anonymous]

Thanks VERY much. Sometimes another set of eyeballs will solve the problem. I HAD disabled background printing in the Options, but the PrintOut code was copied from a recorded macro and I did not notice the Background:=True. Changing that to False solved the problem. I would guess as long as the macro was running, Word would not start the background print, and therefore the EntryID would never get assigned. When the code breaks or is single stepped, Word starts the print and it works.

Thanks greatly for the assist. Hopefully the code will help someone else with a similar problem.

PS. The “Pass” Variable in the PrintOut is left over from a test to print multiple pages in a loop. If the Status box has not appeared and I attempt to send with the same send object, then I get an automation error.

Here’s the code i’m using. It is in a Word Macro, and i’m running NT4.0:

Sub PrintPages()

Dim WinFax as CSDKSend

Application.ActivePrinter = “WinFax” ‘ Set WinFax Printer Name

If WinFax Is Nothing Then
Set WinFax = CreateObject(“WinFax.SDKSend8.0”)
RetCode = WinFax.SetClientID(“Microsoft Word”)
End If

With WinFax
‘ Set Up Recipient

.RemoveAllRecipients ‘ Make sure possible prior recipients are removed

.SetAreaCode (“”)
.SetCountryCode (“”)
.SetDialPrefix (“714”)
.SetNumber (“555-9029”)
.SetExtension (“”)
.SetTo (“Test Fax”) ‘ Person’s Name
.SetTypeByName (“Fax”)
RetCode = .AddRecipient()

‘ Set up the Fax

RetCode = .SetPrintFromApp(1) ‘ Print using the print driver
RetCode = .ShowSendScreen(0) ‘ Do not Display Send Screen
RetCode = .SetDeleteAfterSend(1) ‘ Rewmove .fxs file after transmission
RetCode = .Send(1) ‘ Execute the send We will wait for entry ID
RetCode = .GetLastError()
If RetCode <> 0 Then Stop
Do Until WinFax.IsReadyToPrint() = 1 ‘ Wait for WinFax Driver Ready
DoEvents
Loop
End With

DoEvents

Application.PrintOut FileName:=””, Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, Item:= _
wdPrintDocumentContent, Copies:=1, Pages:=CStr(Pass + 1), PageType:= _
wdPrintAllPages, Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, _
PrintZoomColumn:=0, PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _
PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0

‘ If these lines are in, it loops forever. When I break, it sends the fax. If I remove them, it works OK as long as the Set WinFax = Nothing is not executed. If the = Nothing is executed AFTER the status box comes up, then its OK.

Do While WinFax.IsEntryIDReady(0) <> 1
DoEvents
Loop

WinFax.Done

‘ Set WinFax = Nothing ‘ If it’s destroyed, then the send fails

Exit Sub

Thanks for your assistance.

although the filename says “winfax4.zip” I believe it actually is a WinFax PRO 10 trial download, I will verify this.Thanks

Just checked it, and yes, this file is WinFax PRO 10 trial. It is approx. 35 Mb in size.

[Anonymous]

Thanks Mike, I will notify softpile that the link is no longer valid. I am currently downloading the program from this link:

http://www.tucows.com/

in the search box, enter “WinFax”

although the filename says “winfax4.zip” I believe it actually is a WinFax PRO 10 trial download, I will verify this.

Hi Mxfan,
What version of WinFax are you using, and what type of fax modem do you have installed?

Here are some suggestions you can try that should help:

Disable special fax options

NOTE: The ECM option applies to Class 1 modems only.

In the WinFax PRO or TalkWorks PRO Program Setup, double-click Modems and Communications Devices.
Select the modem and then click Properties.
Click the Fax tab.
Uncheck ECM for Sending or ECM for Receiving, depending on the problem you have.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Try to send or receive a fax.
If problems persist, uncheck 2D Compression, then test again.
Click OK.
Lower the maximum transmission speed

In the WinFax PRO or TalkWorks PRO Program Setup, double-click Modems and Communications Devices.
Select the modem and then click Properties.
Click the Fax tab.
Set the Maximum Transmission Speed to 9600 bps and test. If problems persist, then try 4800, then 2400.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Disable FIFO buffers

NOTE:This procedure only applies to External, non-PCMCIA modems running under Windows 95 or 98 only.

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window appears.
Double-click Modems. The Modems Properties dialog box appears.
Select the modem, and then click Properties.
Verify that the Maximum speed is no higher than 57,600.
Click the Connection tab.
Click Port Settings.
Uncheck Use FIFO Buffers and click OK.
Class 2/2.0 Fax Modems

This issue has been corrected in the WinFax PRO 9.02 and TalkWorks PRO 2.02 update. You can download and install the update by running LiveUpdate from the Help menu in Message Manager.

After installing the latest update, reconfigure the modem:
In the WinFax PRO or TalkWorks PRO Program Setup, double-click Modems and Communications Devices.
Select the modem you want to reconfigure.
Press Shift and click Properties. The following message appears: “Your modem has not been configured to work with WinFax, do you want to run the WinFax modem configuration wizard now?”
Click Yes, then click Next. Follow the prompts through the Modem Configuration Wizard.
Click Finish.
Click OK, and then click Close.
WinModems

If you are using a WinModem, make sure that you have installed the latest software drivers. If you are uncertain, contact the modem hardware vendor for assistance.
Sharing the fax modem line with a fax machine

Remove the other device from the line. If WinFax PRO/TalkWorks PRO works correctly, the other device cannot be used on the same line. WinFax PRO/TalkWorks PRO must be on a telephone line free of interference from other devices.

NOTE: Make sure that Automatic Receive is set to a minimum of 2 rings.

if you need to view, and/or print the received faxes that will not open properly, you can try this:

Title: ‘Error: “Image contains invalid data” when viewing or forwarding a fax’
