6 recvq/fax* - received facsimile document format
7
9 Facsimile received by HylaFAX are placed in the recvq subdirectory.
10 Each facsimile document is stored as a single Class F Tagged Image File
11 Format (TIFF) file. This format includes the following information:
12 · page width and length
13 · horizontal and vertical resolution
14 · page orientation
15 · phone number of the sender
16 · date and time document was received
17 · number of scanlines received with errors
18 · maximum number of consecutive scanlines received with errors
19 · whether or not bad scanlines were regenerated by the receiver
20 · make and model of the modem used to receive the document
21 · name of the host computer on which the document was received
22 Image data is written using either CCITT T.4 or CCITT T.6 compression.
24 By default data is written using the compression scheme/data format
25 negotiated by the sender and receiver. However, if faxgetty(8C) is
26 configured to do copy quality checking then data is written using the
27 compression scheme defined by the RecvDataFormat configuration parame‐
28 ter; see hylafax-config(5F).
29 A scanline that is regenerated by the receiver because of an error is
31 typically just a copy of the previous good scanline.
32 The files in the recvq directory are created with the protection mode
34 specified in the server configuration file(s). By default, files are
35 created with mode 0600 and owned by the fax user, which means that they
36 are accessible only to the fax user.
37 To print a facsimile on a POSTSCRIPT® printer, the fax2ps(1) program
39 can be used.
