FAXPUTPOLL(1)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

faxputpoll − Sets data of polling send

SYNOPSIS

faxputpoll [ −file data-filename ] [ −type data-type ] [ −cover cover-filename ... ] [ −ctype cover-type ] [ −size paper-size ] [ −header header ] [ −htype header-type ] [ −inside ] [ −fine ] [ −or [ data | cover | all ]] [ −multiple ] [ −mail ] [ −mailto mail-address ] [ −line line-id ] [ −host host-name ]

DESCRIPTION

faxputpoll sets the data of polling send.  The data that is set here, is sent when polling reception request arrives from other G3 facsimile machine. 
One batch only of data of polling send, can be set per one line. If any data has already been set, faxputpoll becomes error command. 
Privileged user (user level 0, 1) only can set the data of polling send.

The following options are recognized. 

−fil[e] file-name
Specifies file name of text data to send.
If not specified, standard input is used.

−ty[pe] data-type
Specifies data type of text to send.
If not specified, it is processed as  TIFF data.

SJIS / sjis

Shift JIS code plain text data

JIS / jis

JIS code plain text data

JEUC / jeuc

Japanese EUC plain text data

ISO8859 / iso8859

ASCII/Latin auxiliary character data

TIFF / tiff

TIFF (Tag Image File Format) bilevel image data

−co[ver] cover-file ... 
Specifies file name of cover page data to send. Cover page is not necessarily needed.

−si[ze] size
If send data (text or cover page) is plain text, paper size is specified.
If text data and cover page data are both plain text, both become the same paper sizer.
If send data is image data, it is ignored.
(Size of image is included inside image data.)

A3P / a3p / A3 / a3

A3 vertical size

A3L / a3l

A3 horizontal size (rotated and stored as A3 vertical size.) 

A4P / a4p / A4 / a4

A4 vertical size

A4L / a4l

A4 horizontal size (rotated and stored as A4 vertical size.) 

B4P / b4p / B4 / b4

B4 vertical size

B4L / b4l

B4 horizontal size (rotated and stored as B4 vertical size.) 

−he[ader] header
When sending data, partial message in the upper part of sheet can be added.  It is called header, here.
Option −header specifies message data of header. 
Following letters in header are replaced by sending time or page number as below.
\P Page number (page number/total number of page)
\Y Year of sending date (four digits of Christian era calendar A.C.)
\M Month of sending date (two digits)
\D Day of sending date (two digits)
\h Time of sending time (two digits)
\m Minute of sending time (two digits)
Example)
"source:SONY Corporation (03-1111-2222) \Y/\M/\D \h:\m     \P"
If specified as above, each page will have the header in their top as below, when actual transmission is processed. Send time is the starting time to process of each page.
"source:SONY Corporation (03-1111-2222) 1993/01/01 12:00     1/2"

−ht[ype] header-type
Specifies type of header data.
If not specified, it is processed as SJIS data.
(−header is valid only when option is specified.) 

SJIS / sjis

Shift JIS code plain text data

JIS / jis

JIS code plain text data

JEUC / jeuc

Japanese EUC plain text data

ISO8859 / iso8859

ASCII/Latin auxiliary character data

−in[side]
Specifies that header is positioned inside the send data.
If not specified, it is outside the send data.
If this option is specified to position it inside the send data, upper part of send data can become invisible.
If not specified to position it outside, lower part of send data can be discarded.
(−header is valid only when option is specified.) 

−fin[e]
Sends in fine mode.
If not specified, data is sent in normal mode.

−or  [d[ata]|c[over]|a[ll]]
When reducing image (including reduction for resolution power change ), adjoined dots are logical added.
When specified as data, text data only are reduced in logical add mode. 
When specified as cover, cover page data only is reduced in logical add mode. 
When specified as all, or not specified, both text data and cover page data are reduced in logical add mode. 
It is effective when used in the case that thin lines etc., disappear by reduction.

−mu[ltiple]
Sets the mode where polling send data is not deleted after one time polling send. When polling send data become unnecessary, use the command faxrmpoll to delete the polling send data. 
−multiple If option is not specified, data are automatically deleted after one time polling send. 

−ma[il]
Sets that an electronic mail showing send result, is issued when send is complete.
The electronic mail is delivered to the machine that carries FAX board.
Either -mail or −mailto can be specified. 

−mailto mail-address

DIAGNOSIS

If successful, exit status is 0. 
Otherwise, error message is written to stderr.

NOTES

Depending upon the capability of destination G3 facsimile machine, data can be sent in normal mode even through fine mode (−fine option) is specified by faxputpoll command. 
If size of send data is other than A4 vertical size, it can be reduced and and sent depending upon the capability of destination G3 facsimile machine.
