If the {\tt artikel3.cls} -cannot be found the {\tt article.cls} will be loaded instead. If available -{\tt lastpage.sty} will also be loaded. If you do not have {\tt -lastpage.sty} you can set the fax page numbers by hand by using the -\verb|\setcounter{faxpages}{..}| command. - -\section{Other files} -The following files should be prepared by the user: - -\begin{tabular}{ll} -{\tt from.fax} &containing your name etc.\\ -{\tt note.fax} &containing a note which you would like to add.\\ -\end{tabular} - -If you are using the {\tt dutch} class option you need: - -\begin{tabular}{ll} -{\tt van.fax} &containing your name etc. (in dutch)\\ -{\tt nb.fax} &containing a note which you would like to add. (in dutch)\\ -\end{tabular} - -Of course this can easily be changed or added for any other language. Feel -free to do so. - -\section{Options} -The following class options are at your disposal: -\begin{description} -\item[dutch] Switches to dutch language and reads the files {\tt van.fax} - and {\tt nb.fax} instead of the default {\tt from.fax} and {\tt note.fax} -\item[note] Adds a note to your fax header. This note should be specified - in the file {\tt note.fax} or if you have used the {\tt dutch} option - {\tt nb.fax} -\item[nosep] Omits the {\tt faxtopset} length variable which is currently - set at {\tt 3ex} This white space separates your fax header from the rest - of the text. -\end{description} - -The fax is typeset in \verb|\sf| (sans serif) by default, because I felt -that this would give the most legible results on a fax machine. - -\section{Commands} -In the preamble of the fax document the following commands are available: -\begin{description} -\item[$\backslash$to] Specifies what you want in the `to' box. This should - preferably be in the form of a {\tt tabular} environment. If omitted the - box will stay empty. -\begin{verbatim} -\to{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl} - to: &You\\ - address: &Your place\\ - tel: &Your number\\ - fax: &Whatever\\ - \end{tabular}} -\end{verbatim} -\item[$\backslash$from] Specifies what you want in the `from' box. This should - preferably be in the form of a {\tt tabular} environment. If omitted the - {\tt from.fax} file will be used. -\begin{verbatim} -\from{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl} - from: &Me\\ - address: &My place\\ - tel: &My number\\ - fax: &Whatever\\ - \end{tabular}} -\end{verbatim} - If you want an empty `from' box use \verb|\from{}|. -\item[$\backslash$mymsg] Normally the fax header begins with the message: - {\sc Tele-Fax Message}. If you have specified the {\tt dutch} option the - fax header will begin with: {\sc Fax Boodschap} If you want to start with - your own header (or logo even) you can use the \verb|\mymsg| command like - this: - \begin{center} - \vspace{1.5ex} - \verb|\mymsg{{\Large\bsf Watch out! here comes a FAX!}}| - \vspace{1.5ex} - \end{center} - If you want absolutely no fax top message just specify \verb|\mymsg{}| - i.e. an empty command. -\item[$\backslash$bsf] Switches to bold sans serif. i.e. \verb|{\bsf this is bold}| -\item[$\backslash$slsf] Switches to slanted sans serif. i.e. \verb|{\slsf this is slant}| -\end{description} - -\section{Suggestions} -To make your faxes even more `beautiful' you could use the {\tt wasysym} -package which provides a \verb|\phone| command. This can be used to get a -cute little telephone icon in your `to' or `from' box. Like this: -\begin{verbatim} -\from{\begin{tabular}[t]{rl} - from: &Me\\ - address: &My place\\ - \phone: &My number\\ - fax: &Whatever\\ - \end{tabular}} -\end{verbatim} -Don't forget to put \verb|\usepackage{wasysym}| in your preamble though. - -For my own convenience I have made a signature package. This provides a -signature for my fax documents. Of course you need to get your signature -scanned first and make the signature available in the form of a {\tt .pcx} -file or {\tt .msp} file. If you want to know more about this compile and -read the {\tt sigdoc.tex} file. - -\section{Conversion} -Once you've successfully used the {\tt fax.cls} to make a fax document you -have a choice. - -\begin{itemize} -\item Print it, feed it to the fax machine and send it. (trivial) -\item Convert it to a fax-modem compatible file and send it. -\end{itemize} - -These days lots of people have a fax-modem. To convert the {\tt .dvi} file -you generated, to some kind of fax-modem compatible file you need a -conversion program. Let me describe how I go about sending a fax. - -I am using em\TeX{} for {\tt DOS} to compile my {\tt .tex} documents. The -latest em\TeX{} release, version [4a], has a {\tt fax.cnf} file and -\verb|fax_base.fli| file which facilitate generating {\tt .dvi} files in fax -resolution. - -I subsequently convert this fax {\tt .dvi} file to a {\tt .pcx} file, using -the following batch file. - -\begin{verbatim} -@echo off -dvidrv dvidot pcx @fax.cnf /fl=-1 %1 %1.p?? %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 -\end{verbatim} - -This will generate a number of {\tt .pcx} files one for each page of the -fax document. The {\tt .pcx} files are numbered {\tt myfax.p01, myfax.p02, -myfax.p03} if your original {\tt myfax.dvi} has three pages. - -The last step is to convert these {\tt .p??} files to one single {\tt .fax} -file. I have found the {\tt 2FAX} program by Hans Harder very useful. -However there was a bug in this program. Herre de Jonge the co\-author of -this {\tt fax.cls} and I have debugged the program and added some -functionality. Actually, Herre did most of the work on debugging the {\tt -2FAX} program while I did most of the work on the {\tt fax.cls}. We've -modified version 1.62 of {\tt 2FAX} and called it version 1.62a. I will -make this debugged version available for ftp as soon as possible. We've -also added some functionality. You now can use wildcards at the {\tt 2FAX} -command line. Like this: \verb|2fax indoc.p?? outdoc.fax /hr| - -At this stage you have a file which can be sent by the fax-modem. In the -case of {\tt 2FAX} this file is in the {\tt ZFAX} format. I am using an -unregistered version of {\tt BGFAX} to send (or receive) faxes. {\tt BGFAX} -is written by B.J.Guillot and is a simple but solid command line driven fax -program. It's primarily intended for use with people who operate a bulletin -board but who also want to send or receive faxes. There are various other -programs for {\tt DOS} that will also send {\tt ZFAX} files. I will -probably send the debugged version of {\tt 2FAX} to B.J. Guillot's bulletin -board soon so people can download or ftp it from there. At the moment I -still have to write a readme file and make some minor changes. If you're in -a hurry to get the debugged version of {\tt 2FAX}, mail me and I'll send it -to you. - -{\tt jbrhebergen@et.tudelft.nl}\\ -{\tt rheberg@morra.et.tudelft.nl} - -\end{document} - |
