NAME

       sendfax - submit a facsimile job for transmission

SYNOPSIS

       sendfax [ options ] [ files...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       sendfax submits one or more facsimile transmission requests to a HylaFAX facsimile server.
       Requests are normally  processed  immediately,  although  they  may  also  be  queued  for
       transmission  at a later time using a syntax identical to the at(1) command.  For each job
       that is queued, sendfax prints a job identifier and a job group identifier on the standard
       output.   A  job  identifier is the token by which jobs are identified within HylaFAX; job
       group identifiers are used to reference a set of jobs that have been submitted at the same
       time.  Job and job group identifiers can be supplied to the faxrm(1) command to remove the
       jobs or to the faxalter(1) command to alter job parameters.

       Facsimile are made from the concatenation of a cover page (see  below)  and  one  or  more
       files  specified  on  the  command  line.   If  no files are supplied on the command line,
       sendfax will read data from the standard input unless polling is requested.   Cover  pages
       are  distinguished  for  the  purpose  of  generating  ``continuation cover pages'' on the
       server; these are makeup cover pages that are automatically generated if a job fails after
       sending the original user-specified cover page.

       sendfax  passes  POSTSCRIPT®  and  TIFF  documents  directly through to the fax server for
       transmission, and attempts to convert other file formats to either POSTSCRIPT or TIFF.  In
       normal  operation  sendfax  automatically  converts  ASCII-text, troff(1) output, Portable
       Document Format (PDF), and Silicon Graphics format images for transmission.   Support  for
       other  file  formats  can be easily added through an extensible file typing and conversion
       facility; see typerules(5).  Note that since TIFF Class F documents are processed directly
       it is simple to forward a received facsimile.

       By  default  sendfax  will  generate  a  cover  page  for  each  facsimile  that  is to be
       transmitted.  This cover page is  created  by  the  ancillary  faxcover(1)  program  using
       information deduced by sendfax and by information supplied on the command line.  Automatic
       cover page generation may be suppressed with the -n option.

       In addition to sending documents, sendfax can be used to poll a remote  facsimile  machine
       to  retrieve  waiting documents.  If the -p option is specified, a polling request will be
       submitted to each destination.  If  a  poll  request  is  made  in  conjunction  with  the
       transmission  of  documents,  the  poll  request  will  take place after the documents are
       transmitted.  Documents retrieved by polling are returned to the requestor  by  electronic
       mail and may be viewed with a suitable viewer program.

       One  or  more  destinations  must be specified on the command line using the -d option.  A
       destination is the dialing string to use to contact the remote fax machine.  Phone numbers
       may  include  non-alphanumeric  characters  for readability—only alphanumerics, ``+'' (for
       denoting a country code), and ``#'' (for denoting a subaddress) are significant in placing
       a  call.  Alphabetic characters are automatically mapped to their numeric key equivalents:
       ``abcABC'' to ``2'', ``defDEF'' to ``3'',  etc.   Dialing  prefixes,  such  as  ``1''  and
       ``011''  (for  long  distance  calling  in  the  United States) need not be included if an
       unambiguous number is specified.  Examples of unambiguous phone numbers are:
              +31.77.594.131      to call the Netherlands
              +14159657824        to call California
              9657824             to make a local call
              1-215-356-1666      to call Pennsylvania from within the US
       Non-numeric strings, such as ``*70'' (to defeat call waiting),  may  be  included  in  the
       destination  phone  number.  Whether or not they are stripped from the string used to dial
       the destination fax machine is dependent on the dialstring rules configured for use on the
       server; c.f.  hylafax-config(5) and dialrules(5).

       A destination may also be specified as user@fax-number.  In this case the user string will
       be passed to faxcover as the identity of the recipient.  Note that multi-word  names  must
       be enclosed in quote marks; for example, ``Sam Leffler@+1.415.555.1212''.

       The  order  of  options on the command line is significant.  Each fax to be transmitted is
       assigned the current value of parameters specified on the command line;  e.g.  whether  or
       not  to  generate  a  cover  page.   This means that options that specify parameters for a
       particular destination must precede the dialstring specified  with  the  -d  option.   For
       example,

              sendfax -n -d 5551212 /etc/passwd

       submits a fax to 5551212 that has no cover page while

              sendfax -d 5551212 -n /etc/passwd

       submits  the  same fax but with the default cover page handling.  Note also that parameter
       values persist across -d options so the following

              sendfax -n -d 5551212 -d 5551313 /etc/network

       submits two facsimile, both of which have no cover page.

OPTIONS

       -1          Transmit facsimile documents using 1-D MH  compression.   By  default  HylaFAX
                   will  use  the  optimal compression scheme supported by the transmitting modem
                   and receiving facsimile device.

       -2          Transmit facsimile documents  using  2-D  MR  compression,  if  possible.   By
                   default  HylaFAX  will  use  the  optimal  compression scheme supported by the
                   transmitting modem and receiving facsimile device.

       -3          Transmit facsimile documents using  2-D  MMR  compression,  if  possible.   By
                   default  HylaFAX  will  use  the  optimal  compression scheme supported by the
                   transmitting modem and receiving facsimile device.

       -a time     Schedule transmission up to one year in advance at the indicated  time.   Time
                   is  specified  in  the  format: ``HH:MM [AM|PM] | now [+ N period | month DD |
                   dayofweek ]´´ where month can be Jan(uary), Feb(ruary), Mar(ch), Apr(il), May,
                   Jun(e),  Jul(y),  Aug(ust), Sep(tember), Oct(ober), Nov(ember), or Dec(ember);
                   period can be minute(s), hour(s), day(s), week(s), or month(s); dayofweek  can
                   be   Mon(day),   Tue(sday),  Wed(nesday),  Thu(rsday),  Fri(day),  Sat(urday),
                   Sun(day); e.g. ``now + 30 minutes´´ to schedule transmission 30 minutes in the
                   future.  Trailing information in the time field (such as YYYY) is ignored.  By
                   default, sendfax schedules facsimile for immediate delivery.  Time  should  be
                   given in the user's local time.

       -A          Archive the job on the server according to the bin/archive script when the job
                   is done.

       -b speed    Transmit facsimile documents using a signalling rate that is constrained to be
                   at  least  speed  bits/second.   If  the  specified  speed is greater than the
                   transmitting modem or receiver is capable of, it is  reduced  to  the  highest
                   possible  speed both devices support.  If a negotiated signalling rate greater
                   than or equal to speed cannot be negotiated then the job is aborted.  Possible
                   speeds  are: 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 12000, 14400, 16800, 19200, 21600, 24000,
                   26400, 28800, 31200, and 33600.  By  default  HylaFAX  will  use  the  fastest
                   possible  rate  supported  by  the  transmitting modem and receiving facsimile
                   device.

       -B speed    Try to  transmit  facsimile  documents  using  the  desired  signalling  rate.
                   Possible  speeds  are:  2400,  4800,  7200,  9600, 12000, 14400, 16800, 19200,
                   21600, 24000, 26400, 28800, 31200, and  33600.   If  the  specified  speed  is
                   greater  than  the transmitting modem or receiver is capable of, it is reduced
                   to the highest possible speed both devices support.  By default  HylaFAX  will
                   use  the  fastest  possible  rate  supported  by  the  transmitting  modem and
                   receiving facsimile device (unless restricted by other server  configuration);
                   this  option  can  be used to reduce the speed.  Note that international calls
                   are frequently  more  reliable  when  transmissions  are  restricted  to  9600
                   bits/second.   For  Class 1/1.0 devices, if the specified speed is not greater
                   than 14400 then V.34 will not be attempted, and if the specified speed is 9600
                   or 7200 then V.29 will be assumed in lieu of V.17.

       -c comments Pass  comments  to the faxcover(1) program for inclusion in the comments field
                   of any generated cover page.

       -C file     Pass file to the faxcover(1) program for use as the cover page template.

       -D          Enable notification by electronic mail when the facsimile has been  delivered.
                   By default HylaFAX will notify the submitter only if there is a problem with a
                   job.

       -d destination
                   Create a job to transmit the supplied documents to a facsimile machine at  the
                   indicated  destination.   If  the  destination  is  of  the form ``user@phone-
                   number#subaddress'' then any  cover  page  will  show  user  as  the  intended
                   recipient,  and  the remote system will be supplied the subaddress value (i.e.
                   for routing) provided that the sending modem and the receiving system  support
                   it.

       -E          Disable  use  of  the Error Correction Mode (ECM) when transmitting page data.
                   Setting ECM to false will limit the maximum speed to 14400  bps.   By  default
                   HylaFAX will attempt to use ECM when both the transmitting modem and receiving
                   device support it.  Note that international calls are  sometimes  faster  when
                   ECM is disabled.  Beware also that some modems and/or facsimile devices do not
                   properly implement ECM causing transmission failures.

       -f from     Use from as the identity of the facsimile sender.  Otherwise the sender is the
                   user that invoked sendfax.  The sender is an account name to which the HylaFAX
                   software should direct notification messages.  The  from  identity  may  be  a
                   fullblown   ``From:''   line,   e.g.   e.g.  ``Joe  Blow  <joe@foo.com>''  and
                   ``joe@foo.com (Joe Blow)'' are acceptable.  If no host-part  is  specified  in
                   the  from  string  the  local  hostname  is  used.  This option is useful when
                   sendfax is invoked on behalf of another user, such as in the implementation of
                   an electronic mail to fax gateway.

       -F format   Use  the  specified  format when imaging tag lines on outgoing pages.  Consult
                   the description of the TagLineFormat parameter  in  hylafax-config(5)  for  an
                   explanation of how to construct a format string.

                   Note  that  many  locales  require  that  proper  identification appear on all
                   transmitted facsimile; when using this  facility  one  should  always  include
                   proper identification (e.g. a phone number) in the imaged taglines.

       -G          Enable  usage  of  any  extended  resolutions  supported  by the receiver.  -G
                   supersedes the  usage  of  any  -l  or  -m  options.   Beware  that  increased
                   resolution will increase transmission time.

       -h [modem@]host[:port]
                   Force  the  jobs  to  be processed on a specific host and, optionally, using a
                   particular modem.  The host may  be  either  a  symbolic  name  or  a  network
                   address.   If no -h option is supplied, sendfax uses the FAXSERVER environment
                   variable to identify the HylaFAX server to which the jobs should be  directed.
                   If  no  server  is  specified then sendfax attempts to contact a server on the
                   local host.  If no modem is specified,  the  job  will  be  submitted  to  any
                   available modem.

       -i identifier
                   Use  the  identifier  string in any notification messages instead of the usual
                   job identifier number.  This option is  useful  for  applications  that  cross
                   reference notification messages against job submissions.

       -I time     If  a  job  must  be  requeued because of a communication failure schedule the
                   retry according to the specified time.  Times are given in seconds.   Minutes,
                   hours, and days can be specified with ``min'', ``hour'', and ``day'' suffixes,
                   respectively.  By default HylaFAX reschedules  jobs  using  retry  times  that
                   depend on the manner in which the job failed; this interface permits a user to
                   override this algorithm  and  specify  a  single  fixed  retry  time  for  all
                   communication failures.

       -k time     Kill  the  job  if  it  does  not complete in the indicated time.  The time is
                   specified using notation identical to the -a option.  Note that  the  time  is
                   relative  to  the  time of the initial time-to-send.  The default kill time is
                   ``now + 3 hours'' (three hours from the time the job is first processed).   To
                   retry for an hour, ``now +1 hour'' could be used.

       -l          Transmit  the  facsimile  at a vertical resolution of 98 lines/inch; otherwise
                   known as low resolution.

       -m          Transmit the facsimile at a vertical resolution of 196  lines/inch;  otherwise
                   known as medium resolution or fine mode.

       -M mst      Transmit  facsimile  documents  using  the  specified  minimum  scanline time.
                   Possible times are: 0ms, 5ms, 10ms2, 10ms, 20ms2, 20ms, 40ms2, and  40ms.   If
                   the  specified time is less than the transmitting modem or receiver is capable
                   of, it is increased to the lowest possible  time  both  devices  support.   By
                   default   HylaFAX   will  use  the  lowest  possible  time  supported  by  the
                   transmitting modem and receiving facsimile device (unless restricted by  other
                   server configuration).  This option is mostly useful for debugging.

       -n          Suppress  the  automatic  generation of a cover page for subsequent facsimile.
                   Note that polling requests do  not  receive  a  cover  page  unless  they  are
                   combined with the transmission of one or more files.

       -N          Do  not  notify  the  sender  by  electronic  mail when the facsimile has been
                   delivered or requeued.

       -o owner    Specify the fax owner login name, replacing any FAXUSER  environment  variable
                   that  may  be  set  for the same purpose.  If neither is specified, the user's
                   current login name is used.

       -p          Poll each destination for any available documents.  If a poll request is  made
                   together  with  document  transmission,  the  poll operation is done after the
                   documents are transmitted.  Documents received by polling are returned to  the
                   sender by electronic mail.

       -P priority Assign the specified scheduling priority to subsequent jobs.  A priority is an
                   integer value in the range [0-255].  Lower values result  in  higher  priority
                   processing.   By  default,  each job is assigned 127 for an initial scheduling
                   priority.  If a job's priority is greater  than  bulk  faxes  then  the  job's
                   priority  is  raised (numerically lowered) for each failed attempt to transmit
                   so that retransmit attempts are done ahead of newly submitted  jobs.   In  the
                   case  of  bulk faxes (numerically higher than 190), then the job's priority is
                   lowered (numerically raised) for each failed attempt to transmit so  that  the
                   whole  of  the bulk-queued jobs will be attempted before any are retried.  The
                   priority may also be specified as one of the following symbolic names: default
                   or normal (127), bulk or junk (191), low (190), or high (63).

       -R          Enable  notification  by electronic mail when the facsimile has been delivered
                   and when it is requeued for retransmission.  By default  HylaFAX  will  notify
                   the submitter only if there is a problem with a job.

       -r regarding
                   Pass regarding to the faxcover(1) program as the value of the ``Re:'' field of
                   any generated cover page.

       -s size     Set the page size  to  use  for  the  transmitted  facsimile.   Facsimile  are
                   normally  imaged  with  a system-default page size (usually letter-size pages,
                   8.5" by 11", for sites in North America).  Alternate page sizes are  specified
                   symbolically  using  either  the  name  or  abbreviation  of  an  entry in the
                   pagesizes(5) database; e.g.  a3 (ISO A3), a4 (ISO A4), a5 (ISO  A5),  a6  (ISO
                   A6), b4 (ISO B4), na-let (North American Letter), us-leg (American Legal), us-
                   led (American Ledger), us-exe (American Executive), jp-let (Japanese  Letter),
                   and  jp-leg  (Japanese Legal).  Comparisons are case-insensitive and any match
                   of a substring of the full page-size name is sufficient; e.g. ``legal''  would
                   match ``American Legal''.

                   Note  that  it  may  not  be permissible to image into the full page area; the
                   guaranteed reproducible area for a page is typically inset.  Also,  note  that
                   while  arbitrary  page  sizes can be specified through the page size database,
                   only a limited set of page dimensions are supported by the Group  3  facsimile
                   protocol.   Thus if an odd-size facsimile is submitted for transmission it may
                   not be possible  to  determine  if  it  can  be  sent  until  the  fax  server
                   establishes communication with the remote facsimile machine.

       -S tsi      Pass  tsi to the server as the suggested sender identification to be used, for
                   example, in tagline imaging and fax protocol.

       -t tries    Make no more than tries attempts to send the facsimile.  By  default,  HylaFAX
                   will terminate a job if 3 consecutive attempts to send a particular page fail,
                   or it appears the receiver is not  a  facsimile  machine.   Otherwise  HylaFAX
                   places  no  limit  on  the  number  of  attempts  to send a facsimile, instead
                   terminating a job if it is not completed within a kill time timeout  interval.
                   Note  that  a  try is a call in which carrier is established and the facsimile
                   protocol is commenced; this is contrasted with a call attempt that might  have
                   failed  because the line was busy.  Use ``-1'' to indicate that no tries value
                   should be specified to the server.

       -T maxdials Make no more than maxdials calls in attempting  to  send  the  facsimile.   By
                   default,  HylaFAX  will  redial  12 times before killing a job.  Use ``-1'' to
                   indicate that no maxdials value should be specified to the server.

       -U voice-no Pass voice-no to the faxcover(1) program as the sender's voice number.

       -V voice-no Pass voice-no to the faxcover(1) program as  the  destination  person's  voice
                   number.

       -w          Wait  for  the  job  to  complete  before ending the sendfax session.  If this
                   option is used, the sendfax process  will  not  terminate  until  the  job  is
                   completed.

       -W fax-no   Pass fax-no to the faxcover(1) program as the sender's fax number.

       -x company  Pass company to the faxcover(1) program as the destination company name.

       -X company  Pass company to the faxcover(1) program as the sender's company name.

       -y location Pass  location  to  the  faxcover(1)  program  as  the  destination  company's
                   location.

       -Y location Pass location to the faxcover(1) program as the sender's company location.

       -z filename Read destinations from filename which contains  a  list  of  the  destinations
                   formatted  identically as destinations for the -d option, one per line.  Usage
                   of this option is similar to the -d option and may be done in conjunction with
                   other -d and -z options.

       -v          Print information on the standard output about each conversion and cover sheet
                   generation operation it does.  If -v is specified twice, the protocol  between
                   sendfax  and  the  hfaxd  server  process that does the submission work on the
                   remote machine is also displayed.

       -Z range    Specify that only certain pages of the fax  should  actually  be  transmitted.
                   The  range is in a comma-seperated list of ranges in the form of A[-B][,....].
                   The range is specified agains the resulting document to  be  faxed,  excluding
                   any  cover pages.  So if you have more than one document, make sure to account
                   for them, and exclude the cover pages in the range specification.  Cover pages
                   will  always be faxed, so a fax with a coverpage and 2 5 page documents with a
                   range specified of of 1,3,10 will fax the cover page, and pages 1, 3,  and  10
                   of the combined documents (page 1 and 3 from the first document, and page 5 of
                   the second document).

                       be  one  of  ``done'',  ``none'',  ``requeued''  or  ``default''  with  an
                       optionally preceding ``when '' (e.g. ``when  done'').   Note  that  ``when
                       requeued''  implies  ``when  done''.   (Equivalent  to  the -D, -R, and -N
                       options.)

       PageChop        Control page chop handling when transmitting facsimile.  This  string  may
                       be  one  of  ``none'',  ``all'',  or ``last' to have no pages chopped, all
                       pages chopped, or only the last page chopped; respectively.  Page chopping
                       is controlled by the ChopThreshold parameter.

       PageLength      Set the transmitted page length in millimeters.

       PageSize        Set  the  page  dimensions  according  to  an  entry  in  the pagesizes(5)

       VRes            Set  the  vertical  resolution  in  lines/inch  to  use  when transmitting
                       facsimile.  (Equivalent to the -m and -l options.)

DIAGNOSTICS

       The following messages are generated because of problems encountered on the local machine.

       Could not call server.  The facsimile server on the remote machine did not respond.

       No input data; transmission aborted.  No data was  supplied  (typically  on  the  standard
       input).  No facsimile will be sent.

       Error  converting  data;  command was  %s."  A data conversion operation failed; the shell
       command that was used is printed.

       Can not convert %s.  Data needed to  be  converted  for  transmission,  but  the  required
       conversion  rule  was  not  located.   This  may  indicate  that  the HylaFAX software was
       incorrectly  installed;  or  perhaps  that  an  NFS-mounted   directory   is   temporarily
       unavailable.

       %s: Can not determine file type.  sendfax was unable to deduce the type of the file.

       %s:  Not  a regular file.  The file is something other than a regular file; for example, a
       directory.

       The following messages may be  printed  by  sendfax.   These  messages  describe  problems
       encountered  by  the server process on the remote machine.  This list is incomplete; other
       messages may be generated by the server under unusual circumstances.
