How do I add a custom cover sheet to my fax?
From the Release Notes.
A script make_faxcover has been included with this release to
allow you to design your own fax cover sheets with logo's etc.
The procedure is as follows
- Design your cover sheet, tested with both tgif from the SCO
skunkware site and MS Word (using a postscript printer
driver) adding in
XXXX-Name- where Name is one of the options on the cover sheet e.g.XXXX-tofor the person you are sending to
(this is very similar to the reserved words options within premvet), the full list of options are: (prefix any with XXXX-)
Symbol Description Symbol Description to destination person from sending person to-company destination company from-company sender's company to-location destination geographic location from-location sender geographic location to-voice-number person's voice phone number from-voice-number sender's voice phone number to-fax-number destination fax phonenumber from-fax-number sender's fax phone number from-mail-address sender's e-mail address comments unbroken comment string commentsX X'th line of comments regarding Re: subject CommentX similar to commentsX pageWidth page width inmillimeters page-count # pages otherthan cover page pageLength page length in millimeters todays-date current date and time - Save it, (Print to file) as an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
file to a folder you can access.
- Shift to where the cover sheets are located - for the default
cover sheet this is
/usr/local/lib/fax - Type:
make_faxcover < your_eps_file > faxcover.ps
Test it by sending yourself a fax.
Notes:
- If you get a blank page between the cover sheets and the actual fax then manually remove the last 'showpage' line from the faxcover.ps file with any text editor.
- With Word we had to change to font to Courier for the XXXX entries.
