The SPOOLing is a background print manager. This allows you to use your
computer for other tasks, while RFAX prints the document. You also can
control the SPOOL under dos prompt.

You might experience erratic output while printing with some printers using
RFAX SPOOLing because SPOOL sometimes interrupts the flow of data while
printing. These printers cannot accommodate interruptions in data flow.
Don't run SPOOL causes the data to be sent in one continuous stream.
You have to re-boot your computer and execute the batch file by the name of
'RFAX.BAT'.

If you print without SPOOL, you cannot use the application that is printing
until the file finishes printing on your printer.

For additional information about this menu, consult the User's Manual.

      File name -  Captive filename, default is "NONAME.CAP".

After installing the memory resident printer CAPTURE, you can use any
application such as PC PAINTBRUSH or PAGE MAKER to print the document.
Instead of going to the printer, the CAPTURE will intercept the printout and
save it. You can then send the file as a fax message. If your application
program provides 'Print to File' function then you don't need to install the
CAPTURE. You only have to choose the EPSON printer and print you document.

We suggest you set the Ring to be 1 or 2 while using RFAX in those
countries. They are:  DENMARK, FINLAND, LUXEMBOURG, PHILIPPINES,
              SWEDEN,  YUGOSLAVIA
~076
Dial  Tone/Pulse
================

Specifies tone dialling for touch-tone phones or pulse dialling for
rotary phones.

When specifying a phone number, you can include not only the digits 0
through 9 and the characters # and *, but also the following special
characters:

   A,B,C,D  - Specifies keys in the additional column of keys (that is,
          the 1633 Hz high-group frequency) on some telephones.
   ,        - Causes the hardware to pause when dialling.
   !        - Signals a hook flash, for use with special PBX functions.
          The ! command causes the hardware to go on-hook for half
          a second (this is known as "flashing").
   @        - Quite Answer: Wait for 5 seconds of silence before dialling.

All other characters are reserved.

~077
Tone Delay:  50..250 ms
=======================

Change the delay time for tone dial.
Selectable dialling rate is provided for rapid dialling.
~078
Pulse Ratio: USA/INTL
=====================

This option menu allows you select the Pulse mode.
To perform a pulse dial you need to select the Mark and Space ratio.
In USA the ratio is using 2:3, other countries are using 1:2 .
The dialling rate for the Pulse dial is 10pps.

~079
Comma Delay: 1..9 second(s)
===========================

This option lets you input the number of seconds RFAX is to wait when it
encounters a comma in a telephone number you have instructed it to dial.
When you make a long distance call or an international call a comma is
needed to add between the area code and the local code.
~080
Redial: 1..9 times
==================

Sets the number of times to redial the same phone number.
If the fax machine you are calling is busy, RFAX will redial the phone
number for you as many as your setting. You can specify the amount of time to
wait between each redial form the 'Redial delay' option.
~081
Redial Delay: 1..240 second(s)
==============================

Specify the amount of time to wait each redial.
~082
Line Detect
===========
Xn selects the result code set and selects dialling functions.
Parameters: n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
n = 0    CONNECT result codes are enabled. CONNECT XXXX result codes are
    disabled. Busy signal and dial tone are not detected.
n = 1    The modem blind dials:CONNECT XXXX result codes are enabled.
    Busy signal and dial tone are not detected.
n = 2    The modem waits for dial tone before dialling. CONNECT XXXX result
    codes are enabled. Busy signal is not detected.
n = 3    The modem blind dials:CONNECT XXXX result codes are enabled. The
    modem sends BUSY result code if busy signal is detected.
n = 4    The modem waits for dial tone before dialling. CONNECT XXXX result
    codes are enabled. The modem sends BUSY result code if busy signal
    is detected. (default)

The difficulty with any tone detection is because the tones provided
by the telephone network are not always according to specification. If the
line detect function is unable to detect the tone in your area, you should
turn off this option then RFAX will wait for an answer after it dials by
the request time.

~083
Request Time: 15 to 255 second(s)
================================

Lets you adjust the amount of time RFAX will wait for an answer after it
dials. The default setting is 35 seconds, if you often make a long distance
call, we suggest to set it to 40 seconds.

=================

This option allows you to use your computer for other tasks, while RFAX
waits for the ring or scheduled time to arrive.

After you set on and exit the program,    a string "Resident RFAX already
loaded!" will be displayed. You can unload the resident program by setting
this switch off or typing the flowing line under dos prompt.

    TSRFAX /u

If you load a TSR (Terminate, Stay Resident program) after RFAX, you get
an error if you try to uninstall RFAX.     RFAX will not remove from
memory until the TSR is uninstalled. At that time, RFAX still activated.

~085
Startup Menu: Extended/Simple
=============================

This option allows you to program the starting menu of RFAX.
By set it to extended menu, you can get into the Extended Menu in
RFAX directly.

~086
DTMF Level: 0 .. -15.0 dB
============================

EIA standard RS-496, paragraph 4.3.2, specifies requirements that ensure
proper DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) signaling through the PSTN. These
tones shown below.
            digit codes
Low group    697 |  1      2      3        A
frequency (Hz)    770 |  4      5      6        B
        852 |  7      8      9        C
        941 |  *      0      #        D
--------------------+--------------------------
High group        | 1209   1336   1477   1633

The high frequency tone always be at a higher power level than the low
frequency tone by approximately 2 dB. You can specify the high frequency
tone level to the desired value.

~087
Transmit Level: 0 .. -15.0 dB
================================

You can program the output level to an allowed range. Please contact your
local distributor asked the signal range. For most of countries, The signals
transmitted to telephone line (PSTN) shall be nominally confined to the
frequency range of 300 to 3400 Hz and the power lever during any 10 second
period shall not exceed -5 dBm when measured with 600-ohm termination.

~088
Com Port Setup
==============
This option allows you to configure the communications ports.
RFAX supports 4 comm ports are defined to the standards for COM1 through
COM4. For each port you may define the interrupt request number (irq) to use.
Unless you are absolutely sure about your information, do not play around
with these values! Wrong values could cause unexpected and possibly
disruptive results. The following table lists the default base port and
interrupt levels  assigned for COM1 - COM4.

           |    DEFAULT        DEFAULT
       DEVICE  |  PORT ADDRESS     INTERRUPT LEVEL
       --------+--------------------------------
       COM1    |      3F8         IRQ 4
       COM2    |      2F8         IRQ 3
       COM3    |      3E8         IRQ 4
       COM4    |      2E8         IRQ 3

If your system has COM1 and COM2 installed, I recommend you to select COM3
or COM4 with IRQ5.

Fax Quality: Standard / Fine
============================

The group 3 fax provides sampling densities of 200 spots per inch
horizontally across the paper and 100 or 200 lines per inch vertically down
the page. This option allows you to change the vertical resolution to 100
(standard) or 200 (fine) lines per inch. The most picture files are in fine
mode, so you can use this option to send those files in a right resolution.
When set this option to standard/fine, a character S/F is displayed on the
right side of the menu bar.
~091
Text Margin: 0..20 cm
=====================

Sets a new text left margin.
The margins in a document specify the limits of the fax area. By using the
margins, you can adjust you document to a suitable location.
RFAX has two independent margins.

MARGIN             DEFAULT VALUE   BOUNDARY

text left margin    3 cm         0..20 cm
