Creating Append Document Images

The first step in creating an append document is faxing an image of the document into the system. After you create append document images, you can assign them to append documents.

To create an append document image:

  1. Fax a copy of the document to the VSI-FAX Gold modem number using the same fax machine that was used for the test. Set the resolution to fine.

The system sends the image to the Incoming Fax Status Queue and assigns in as the image type. If you fax a multi-page document, it becomes one image.

  1. From the System > Printers menu, select Incoming Fax Status Queue to display the Incoming Fax Status Queue screen.

  1. Select the fax image and use the Make Doc hot key to display the Make Append Document screen.

The system populates the Top field with default entries of .50 inches and Clear.

  1. In the Top field, change the parameters, if needed, to those you determined in the test procedure for making documents from images faxed in using this machine.

  2. In the File Name field, enter a name for the document image. The name can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters, including spaces.

Note: This file name is not the name of an append document. It is the name of an append document image that you can then assign to an append document.

  1. Press Esc to save the information.

The system changes the file type to doc. The image is now available to be assigned to an append document.
