Using the Incoming Fax Status Queue

Use the Incoming Fax Status Queue to create the following images to enhance your faxes:

When you fax a logo, signature, or document to the VSI-FAX Gold modem number, the system stores the image in the Incoming Fax Status Queue and assigns in as the image type. You can then use hot keys to process the image and change the image type to logo, sig, or doc.

To use the Incoming Fax Status Queue:

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

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

The dates and times shown on the screen are in the user's time zone, displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, or the system time zone if one is not defined for the user in User Maintenance.

Only documents with in as the image type display. To display other document types, use the Type hot key.

The following table describes the information displayed for each image:

Date

  • Date when the fax was received, for the in image type.

  • Date when the image was created, for the doc image type.

Time

  • Time when the fax was received, for the in image type.

  • Time when the image was created, for the doc image type.

  • Number of lines in the image, which indicates the amount of vertical space occupied by the image, for sig or logo image type.
