1) Automation via Windows printing flow (SPOOL): In addition to the virtual printer described in the "Zero Development" method, RTE Network offers a second Windows virtual printer, the "File Interface Printer", which has the same main functions (printing, semantic analysis, graphic conversion) and which uses the capacity of the local relay to improve the page layout. With the File Interface Printer it is therefore possible to call backgrounds stored on the local relay server so that the final appearance of the fax looks like the usual paper version. This virtual printer does not have an Operator Interface and must be controlled via commands in the printable document or the registry. The commands to be used to automate conversions are described in detail in the FaxBox Corporate Developer manual.
2) Automation via NON Windows printing flow (SPOOL): For NON Windows applications (AS400, UNIX, LINUX, Mainframe systems) it is sometimes necessary to adopt a Spool interface as a means of communication between the information system and the fax solution. The spool files (raw text, PCL, PS, ESC/P) must therefore contain the information required to interpret commands. The spool flow is processed by the local module. This module analyses the flows, interprets the commands, converts the data flows into a fax and calls the FaxBox Corporate platforms.
3) Automation via File Interface: The file interface represents a local relay between the applications and FaxBox Corporate. The File interface allows you to send faxes comprising several documents possibly merged with backgrounds or together with documents to be sent systematically (e.g. General Sales Terms and Conditions) A results file is generated at the end of the process.
