<B>RightFAX NT v4.02 README (11- Sep-95)
<R>============================================================================
<R>This version has some major additions:
<N>
New Print Driver Technology
Previously, RightFAX had NO PM print driver, NO NT print driver nor
any Win95 print driver. Now all 3 have print drivers! All three
require running a setup routine, located in the respective
\RIGHTFAX\CLIENT directories located beneath the RightFAX structure.
These installs will make changes to your local configuration to allow the
print drivers to work correctly.
Now in a Microsoft Network environments, Lan Manager, Lan Server and
NTAS, NO QUEUE, SERVER or print queue TYPE need to be defined, e.g. you
can have RightFAX service an unlimited number of servers and print
queues. All the queues you want RightFAX to service, need to
PRINT TO: \\.\pipe\rightfax. For remote servers, this will also
work via, CONNECT TO PRINTER, or by having the queue
PRINT TO: \\server\pipe\rightfax.
<R>============================================================================
<R>Helpful Tips
<N>
When using the Export/Report function from FaxAdmin for Windows, we
strongly recommend that you set your TEMP environment variable in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT to C:\TMP and create a C:\TMP directory.
The RightFAX Windows Print Driver supplied in version 3.50 and 3.51 will
continue to work with RightFAX 4.02 servers. The Driver will not be updated
nor is it included with RightFAX 4.02 -- the PowerBar has replaced the
Windows Print Driver.
In order to Print or Preview reports from FaxAdmin for Windows, the
"current directory" must be writable. In other words, you may have to
set the Working Directory for the FaxAdmin icon to point to a directory
on your "home" or local drive.
The PowerBar is not compatible with Windows NT workstations. There is
software included for Windows 95 in the CLIENT\WIN95 directory.
Print drivers for Windows NT are not included, though FUW and FAW work.
<R>============================================================================
<R>RightFAX Windows-95 Client Package
<N>This package includes all software necessary to support Windows-95 clients
with the RightFAX NT 4.02 fax server. The FaxUtil and FaxAdmin programs are
similar to the Windows 3.1 versions. The PowerBar, which is available on
Windows 3.1, is not available for Windows-95 as the PowerBar framework does
not fit the new interface of Win-95. A similar pop-up interface has been
developed for Win-95 which allows any Win-16 or Win-32 application to fax
using an HP LaserJet III or PostScript driver. By using a standard PCL-5 or
PostScript driver, documents are maintained as they would print in the most
exacting specifications. TrueType, PCL-5, and Adobe fonts are all supported.
Like RightFAX on Windows 3.1, the fax processing is all handled by the fax
server and the client workstations are all free to go about their work.
<R>============================================================================
<R>General Overview of the RightFAX OS/2 PM Print Driver
<N> The RightFAX PM print driver provides the user with a pop-up dialog in
which fax destination information may be entered. This service can only
be provided for OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM) applications.
Character-based OS/2, DOS, and Windows applications will *NOT* benefit
from this driver. In order to print from such applications, please see
the options below. Windows applications running under OS/2 may also use
the RightFAX Windows print driver which is shipped with the RightFAX
package.
Using this driver allows the user to fax directly from a PM application
without having to separately start the RightFAX client utility (FAXUTIL).
<R>============================================================================
<R>RightFAX WindowNT Client Package
<N>This package includes all software necessary to support WindowsNT clients
with the RightFAX NT 4.02 fax server. The FaxUtil and FaxAdmin programs are
similar to the Windows 3.1 versions. The PowerBar, which is available on
Windows 3.1, is not available for WindowsNT as the PowerBar framework does
not fit the new interface of WinNT. A similar pop-up interface has been
developed for WinNT which allows any Win-16 or Win-32 application to fax
using an HP LaserJet III or PostScript driver. By using a standard PCL-5 or
PostScript driver, documents are maintained as they would print in the most
exacting specifications. TrueType, PCL-5, and Adobe fonts are all supported.
Like RightFAX on Windows 3.1, the fax processing is all handled by the fax
server and the client workstations are all free to go about their work.
