Set Fax Mail Print Option

$print_option ffprint|ffextern [queueno]


This command is used to specify that incoming fax mail items are to be printed using the FFPRINT or FFEXTERN program. This is implemented by setting a non-zero $print_status value in the .MCF written after mail receipt.

The parameters on this command are used as follows:

ffprint a keyword to cause FFPRINT process the mail after receipt (deprecated).
ffextern a keyword to cause FFEXTERN to process the mail after receipt.
queueno the queue number on which mail for this box is to be printed. If no print queue is specified the first or only queue (queue 1) will be selected. For FFPRINT, the queue number must be 6 or less; for FFEXTERN, the number must be 999 or less. A queue number of 0 will be ignored (and the fax will not be printed).

Note that both the FFPRINT and FFEXTERN options involve scanning for received files that require printing. For occasional printing of incoming fax mail, you can use a type INFOBOX post-receive process and assign @PR_FAXPATH, the incoming fax filename, to system variable PRINTTHISFILE. This method will print the file on the default printer. It is not recommended for high-volume printing applications.

Default: incoming fax mail is not printed.

Example:

$mailbox_type satellite

$print_option ffextern 3
