Fax Printing - Document Design Manager

Selected fax software, such as Tobit David and Zetafax, allow programs to pass information to them with regards to fax and contact details. This option allows you to enter those commands and pick up fax and contact details from the customer / supplier account (the databases available dependent on the document type).

You have the ability to enter up to ten lines of control text that will be passed to the fax printer (note if you print this to a standard printer directly – i.e. not print to the fax printer – these commands will appear on the printout) which will allow you to pass detail such as fax numbers and contacts.

To pass information from the database, such as a fax number, you enter the command (@@NUMBER for Tobit), followed by a space and then a ‘!’ and a three-digit number, finishing with any closing command (@@ for Tobit). Data items available are shown on the LIST button including special options for document date and user name.

Include commands when sending to the spooler – If left blank then the commands will not be included if you send the document to the print spooler or the ledger enquiry reprint option. Note that if sending document runs to the spooler containing multiple commands for different contacts then Tobit for one cannot interpret the print job correctly.
