Entries

Authorised PC User

If the CPPD PC Fax Server is installed, only users who are 'Authorised PC Users' can send a fax using the Fax Server.  A maximum number of PC Users is specified in the CPPD security.  When a new user is authorised as a PC user the total number of currently authorised users is checked, if the number in the CPPD security has been exceeded the new user cannot be added.

Cover page format

Codes Y or N, 1-4.

The fax Cover page format controls whether the cover page is sent as the first page of the fax and whether a form feed is inserted after the cover page.  The code Y or N, 1-4 (Code 4 is user defined in file AFAXHDR) defines the cover page and form feed options for each type of document.

Allow PC cover page

If all faxes sent by Cobwebb Fax are required to have the same cover page (the one generated on the IBM i) it may be desirable to prevent the PC user from selecting a different cover page.  If this is the case 'Allow PC cover page' = No will ensure that the IBM i cover page is always used.  If Allow PC cover page is = Yes the User's IBM i cover page will be used unless the PC user requests a different one, or none at all.

Cover page logo

The Cover page logo is the cover page which comes before the first page of the fax. It contains the details (which include the company logo) specified in the cover page; see Work with cover pages in System Maintenance.  The Cover page logo specified in the Cobwebb user profile is normally used, if that is blank the System Cover page logo is used; if that is blank no Cover page logo is used.

Cover page signature

A Cover page signature is defined as Cover page which come at the end of the last page of a fax.  A signature can be specified in the cover page.  The Cover page signature specified in the Cobwebb user profile is normally used, if blank the System Cover page signature is used, if that is blank no Cover page signature is used.

Font group

The font group defines which IBM i fonts will be used for the message.  The font group is the Cobwebb Fax font group which will be used for the message, unless overridden by the font group in the Cobwebb User Profile, or specified in an API generated message. See System Maintenance 'Work with font groups' for details.

Note 1: - If in doubt use the Cobwebb Fax default font group (CFAX) as this contains a number of fonts suitable for fax.

Note 2: - If you use a font (e.g. #F9) which is not included in the FONT GROUP you will get a Sense Data Error (218) and the message will not be sent.

Maximum priority

The maximum priority which can be used by this user. This may be used to prevent the user actually sending messages (by having a maximum priority of 0 'held'), or to control the maximum priority available to the user when sending messages.

Mandatory public authority

If entered the mandatory public authority will be used for all the user's messages and can only be changed by changing the user profile.

Send, position cursor

Controls the position of the cursor on the 'Send Fax', screen.  The first time the user sends a message from Cobwebb Fax the 'From' field is blank. After this the screen shows the details which were entered on the previous message.  The cursor can be positioned to return to the most convenient field, fields below the cursor position will be cleared.

Output directory description

This option is used to insert the company name automatically from the Cobwebb directory.  N=Do not output directory description, Y=Output directory description.

If 'Output directory description' is = Y and the fax is created using a Cobwebb directory entry, the directory description will be output to the 'To:' line, providing nothing has previously been entered on the 'To:' line, e.g. on the Send a fax screen. The 'To:' line is normally used for the Company name.

Display edit options

When preparing a message the second screen provides for the selection of the appropriate edit options e.g. 1= Cobwebb Editor, 2=Office etc. as well as the selection of folder and logo.  If the user does not require to see these options this screen may be bypassed by choosing not to display the edit options.

Note:  the user can still display edit options by selecting F9 on the Send screen.

 N = Do not display edit options, Y = Display edit options.

Queue display format

1=Standard display - The standard Cobwebb queue display shows:

.......... 'From       Destination       Attention'

2=Alternative display - an alternative format is now available:  

.......... 'Attention  To                Reference'

Work with directory

The F9 key on the Send a fax screen allows any user to add/change/delete Cobwebb Fax directory entries.  This facility can be disabled (F9 will not be displayed):  

Y = enabled, N = disabled.

Display fax proofprint

If=Y, the Fax proofprint destination will be displayed on the 'Exit Editor' screen, if=N the option to Fax a proofprint will not be displayed.  If a fax proofprint destination is specified a copy of the fax will be sent to that fax number, the original fax will be put on the queue as 'Held' and will not be sent until released.  The purpose of this function is to allow a user to generate a copy of the fax before sending.
