Supported File Attachments and Text Formatting  
Previous  Top  Next


Rich Text Format  

FACSys fax servers have the ability to render rich text formatted (RTF) documents natively. Implementation of RTF rendering permits you to fax elaborate documents or cover page messages with special formatting features beyond that of plain ASCII characters.  
 
Full support of font typeface selection, paragraph formatting, and justification enables you to fax messages as seen on your display without having to invoke external programs or perform printing functions to render messages.  
 
 

Supported File Attachment Formats  

In addition to the rich text formatting of your fax documents and fax cover pages, you may include file attachments in your outbound fax messages. There is no limit to the number of attachments contained within each fax message you create.  
 
At present, the FACSys rendering services support the following file attachment formats:  
 
TIFF G3/G4MH
Postscript Level 1 and 2
PCX
PCL5e 2/TrueType
Intel DCX
