Cover Sheets - Server
Server based cover sheets are stored in /etc/fax2send/header/lang, where lang is the 2 letter code for the language in use with fax2Send.
The default cover sheet is defined by the Front_Sheet parameter in the [General] section of /etc/fax2send/config.
Server based cover sheets are templates into which data is merged when the fax is formatted before transmission.
Merge fields are delimited by angle brackets (e.g ‹ ›).
If they contain a keyword then the Fax2Send formatter will paste
the corresponding information into the field. The supported
key words are:
|
PAGES
|
Number of pages (including the front sheet).
|
|
FAX
|
Destination number.
|
|
ME
|
Comment field for user from /etc/passwd.
|
|
DATE
|
Date and time.
|
|
SITE_ID
|
Site ID as defined by the Site_Id parameter in the [General] section of /etc/fax2send/config.
|
|
ADDRESSn
|
Address line n as defined by the parameter linen in the [Address] section of /etc/fax2send/config.
|
Otherwise information is extracted from the header line information passed by the application to the fax2 command.
The order in which the data is merged can be fixed by using the index numbers in the merge fields.
