The control file is an ASCII file containing all pertinent settings for a fax job. The control file name and location is passed to the external fax application as the first command line parameter. The external fax program must read the control file and act accordingly.
Remote faxing creates two types of files:
· raster files of the images being faxed, with a .tmp extension (for example, 340ec2e0.tmp)
· a control file with no extension (for example, 340ec2e0). The control file lists the names of all the .tmp files produced.
The control file contains single keywords followed by one space, followed by a parameter.
