Faxing from Vantage

> Sorry but we never pursued the faxing side. Opted for more use of emailed
> PDF versions.

If you have a network-based fax machine, as many are these days, we Print
Preview our PDF at the desktop and then File | Print to the fax machine.

It is not as nice as an automatic print but we found that we want to check a
document for correctness before we sent it anyway.

Mark W.
Our purchasing manager has a Hewlett Packard 3150
Fax/Copier/Scanner/Printer on his workstation (and a dedicated
phone line for the fax).

Today, he tried to 'print' a purchase order, out of Vantage, directly
to the fax machine. On the 'other end' (he tested it by sending the
PO to another fax number we have here), the resulting image has
grayed boxes, and the text is out of alignment. We're using the
Crystal PO report/form.

Now, I realize that the 'print driver' in the fax side of the HP
machine is not intrepting this correctly, but when he 'prints' a hard
copy of the PO to the printer side of the same HP machine, it
prints out fine. I don't think I can 'adjust' the fax driver, and I don't
really want to mess with the PO report in Crystal (especially since
it prints a hardcopy fine).

We're trying to eliminate the print-to-paper-then-FAX shuffle. Any
ideas?

Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is to go to HP's site and make sure you have
all the latest drivers installed for the unit.

For images, we like Acrobat. Works great with Vantage, the reader is free
and widely used, the images are great, and we can keep copy of the document
if we want. If you have a full-version of Acrobat (couple hundred bucks) on
the workstation, you just print to the Acrobat Distiller, from there send-to
email recipient and Outlook picks it up and treats it as a normal new
outgoing email - fill in the "To" & "Subject" blanks and send it. Fast,
simple and makes you look good to the users when you show it to them. And
you can use all the other features that come with Acrobat.

Try changing your Fax Setting from Normal to Fine or Photo mode. It
will be slower to transmit but, I may get it there in one piece.

We Print PO's through Crystal and use Lightning Fax. Fax numbers are stored
in the Outlook Contact list or you can input. It takes a couple more steps,
but does the trick. Using Crystal allows us to store our terms and
conditions which are sent with every purchase order. I would like to see
epicor enable you to click on the printer icon and give you an option to fax
/ print the purchase order or both.

Found it. Looks like Steve has some changes to make his Exchange/Outlook
setup.

Here's what MS has to say:

XFOR: How to Prevent the Winmail.dat File from Being Sent to Internet Users

The information in this article applies to:
· Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0
· Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0
· Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0

SUMMARY
This article describes how either an Exchange Server administrator or end
users can prevent the Winmail.dat attachment from being sent to Internet
users when using the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Connector (IMC).

When an end user sends mail to the Internet from an Exchange Windows or
Outlook client, a file attachment called Winmail.dat may be automatically
added to the end of the message if the recipient's client cannot receive
messages in Rich Text Format (RTF). The Winmail.dat file contains Exchange
Server RTF information for the message, and may appear to the recipient as
a binary file. It is not useful to non-Exchange Server recipients.
MORE INFORMATION
To control whether or not to send messages in RTF, follow the option that
best meets your situation:
· Creating Custom Recipients
When an administrator creates a custom recipient using the Microsoft
Exchange Administrator program, click to clear the Always Send To This
Recipient In Microsoft Exchange Rich-Text Format check box.

· Modifying Existing Microsoft Exchange and Custom Recipients
An administrator can prevent an existing user account (Microsoft Exchange
user or custom recipient) from sending RTF information by clicking to clear
the MAPI Recipient check box on the Advanced property page of the
recipient's properties. An administrator can view the recipient's
properties by clicking the recipient name, and then clicking Properties on
the File menu.

· Addresses in the Personal Address Book
End users can modify the Internet addresses in a personal address book
(PAB) to prevent sending RTF information by clicking to clear the Always
Send To This Recipient In Microsoft Exchange Rich-Text Format check box in
the SMTP - Address property page of the Internet address in the PAB. To
obtain the properties of an entry in the PAB, click the entry, and then on
the File menu, click Properties.

· Configuring the Internet Mail Connector (IMC)
An administrator can configure the IMC with RTF options in the following
manner:
Open the Internet Mail Connector Properties page.

Click the General tab.

The Send Microsoft Exchange Rich Text list box controls the sending of
rich-text data. There are three values to choose from:

· If the value is set to User, the recipient properties are used to
determine whether or not to send RTF information.

· If the value is set to Always, RTF information is always sent,
regardless of the recipient properties.

· If the value is set to Never, RTF information is never sent.
An administrator can also configure the option to send RTF information on a
domain-by-domain basis. To define e-mail domains and the message settings
for that domain, click the E-Mail Domain button of the Internet Mail tab.

· One-Off Addressing
Anyone can send e-mail to an Internet user from an Exchange or Outlook
client by using one-off addressing. One-off addressing allows you to send a
message to addresses that are not in the PAB, the global address list, or
in any recipient containers.

Depending on the type of the one-off address used, RTF information is or is
not sent with the message:

· Rich-Text Information Is Sent:

If the one-off address has the following format, RTF information is sent
with the message:
[SMTP:SMTP Address]
where SMTP Address is any valid SMTP address, for example:
user@...
To verify that RTF information is sent:
In a new message, type the address in the SMTP address format in the To
field. On the Tools menu, click Check Names. You will see the SMTP address
without the "SMTP:" and the name is underlined.

Double-click the address to bring up its properties.

If the Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich-text format
check box is selected, rich-text information (the Winmail.dat file) is sent
along with the message.

· Rich-Text Information Is Not Sent:

If an end user is using a one-off address and does not want to send RTF
information to the recipient, the address should have the following format:
SMTP Address
where SMTP Address is any valid SMTP address, for example:

user@...
NOTE: Unlike the address in the "Rich-Text Information Is Sent" section,
the SMTP address is not proceeded by "SMTP:" and the address is not
enclosed in square brackets ([]).

If the Check Names check box is selected, the properties of the address
will show that the rich-text option is not selected.

However, no matter what option is selected for the address of the
recipient, the IMC settings determine whether or not RTF information is
transmitted. If the IMC is set to never send RTF information, even if the
properties of the recipient address have the rich-text option selected, no
RTF information is transmitted.

If the IMC has separate settings for individual domains, the settings for
those domains takes precedence for all messages addressed to users in those
domains.

Optionally, instead of typing the hex value in the edit field, click
Editor, select File Version, and then click OK. On the File Version tab, in
the fields provided, type the appropriate build number of Imcadmin.dll in
the following format 5.5.2650.24. To determine the correct build number of
Imcadmin.dll, do a search for the file on the Exchange Server. Once you
have found it, right-click it, click Properties, and then click the Version
tab. The build number appropriate to your server is listed here. Type this
number into the value field and click OK. You then see the appropriate Hex
value in the edit field.

Any moderator know how the ATT00002.txt attachment got delivered with this
message???

I ran across this problem 6 mo ago with our setup. It's a bug in Outlook.
Certain web-based email recipients may not be able to get your attachment.
Since we have web-based email service rather than a POP3 server on the
premises, we couldn't send attachments to people in our own office, as well
as some others outside the company. It shows up as winmail.dat, and I think
there's another text file that comes with it.

No fix at the time I looked. Only occurs in Rich Text format emails. We
keep our email format set on HTML and get 95% of the "cute factor" of Rich
Text, and can still send attachments to everyone.

Dennis,

Everyone here loves Acrobat 4.0. It allows them the option of emailing the
file, saving it, or printing it out. It works with all major programs as
well as Vantage. Acrobat format is universally accepted, and the reader is
free. And if they have the full version on the other end, they can modify
the document and send it back to us with the changes.

I'm not familiar with the functionality of the fax programs, but this is
pretty cool. Not real cheap, but people here think it's worth having. I
give it an 85... it has a good beat, and it's easy to dance to.
