From: Clive Brown To: B J Guillot Thread: HP DeskJet 870 Cxi (1/8) Date: 08-Sep-97, 2:49pm (Ref# 5716) Hello BJ! Can you please provide the following info? (a) I am using the printer above - a colour deskjet. Which printer routine do I use from the VIEW command line please? (b) It would seem that the file EXEPRINT.BAT is not included with the latest archive v1.70, and BGFAX puts it into the routine. How can I onbtain a copy of this utility and all related files so that the inbound faxes print on the above printer?

Which printer routine > do I use from the VIEW command line please? Try using /P24 or /P40 or /P26. If all three fail, then VIEW will be unable to print with that printer. If you are using Windows 95, you can have VIEW convert the file to a DCX file, and then simply double-click on the DCX file to bring up the Windows 95 Microsoft Exchange fax viewer. (You must have allowed Microsoft Exchange to be installed for that to work properly.) > (b) It would seem that the file EXEPRINT.BAT is not included with the latest > archive v1.70, and BGFAX puts it into the routine.

VIEW can't work Let me know if any of the three switches worked, and I can then help you construct the file once I know which switch worked (if any). Regards, bgfax author

Or am I missing something here? On receipt of a successful fax BgFax exit with errorlevel 4 and creates a file called DOPRINT.BAT or DOPRINT.CMD if you are using OS/2. You can trap the errorlevel as follows :FAX D: CD\BGFAX call su 2 lock 0 CALL BGFAX /FHAY:01333310078 D:\FAXIN 2 Z If errorlevel 4 goto faxrcv call su 2 lock 57600 goto LOADBBS :faxrcv call su 2 lock 57600 cd\ cd\faxin call doprint.cmd del doprint.cmd GOTO LOADBBS Note the line to delete doprint.cmd. This is required if you want to print individual faxes as they arrive. BgFax will automatically append details of a new fax to any existing Doprint.cmd file that exists, so you would end up printing all your faxes again if you do not delete it after printing. Hope this helps. Cheers, /\/\orris ... Practice safe hex: Use plastic keyboard covers! --- FMail/2 1.02 * Origin: Sapphire BBS - Kilrenny - +44 1333 310078 Fidonet (2:259/97)
