Explanation

It is expected that the data in this form will be set up and maintained by information technology staff.
The form is used to record and maintain a list of the fax machines on the network which should be available to the Job Control and Scheduling facility. These fax machines may be chosen as a destination for reports and other output from jobs run within the system.
NOTE: The facility to send output to a fax destination is currently under development.

Example

To record a fax machine for use by the Job Control and Scheduling facility, using the Maintain Faxes form:

In Insert mode:

Enter the name or code of the required network fax machine in the Fax field of a blank record.
Enter a meaningful description in the Description field.
Select the location of the fax machine from the list of values (or key in a valid value) in the Location Code field.
Optionally, enter the spooler command and spooler option in the Spooler and Spooler Option fields.
Select the Postscript checkbox if the fax machine can handle postscript output.
Save.
Rules:

Normally, only open locations are shown in the list of values. However, when a closed location has just been keyed in, its details are displayed in the LOV for information.
Entries in the Spooler and Spooler Option fields and the Postscript indicator are used by the system when building operating commands.

To modify a fax machine record using the Maintain Faxes form:

Find the record to be modified.
Modify the record as required.
Save.

Description, Location Code, Spooler and Spooler Option fields and the Postscript indicator can be changed.

To delete a fax machine record using the Maintain Faxes form:

Find the record to be deleted.
Locate the cursor in the record to be deleted.
Delete record.
Save.
