Usage
nfxcnvrt
input_file
output_file
[
convert_encoding
[
convert_resolution
[
convert_page_width
[
convert_bad_line
]]]]
Unless you specify different attributes in the command line arguments,
nfxcnvrt
uses the following default values:
convert_encoding
NFX_ENCODE_1D
convert_resolution
NFX_RESOLUTION_LOW
convert_page_width
NFX_PAGE_WIDTH_A4
convert_bad_line
NFX_BAD_LINE_ACTION_REPT
You can set any of the image format characteristics to any of their allowed values, as follows:
Format Characteristic
Allowed Values
convert_resolution
NFX_RESOLUTION_HIGH
NFX_RESOLUTION_LOW
NFX_RESOLUTION_SUPER_HIGH
convert_encoding
NFX_ENCODE_1D
NFX_ENCODE_2D
NFX_ENCODE_MMR
convert_page_width
NFX_PAGE_WIDTH_A4
NFX_PAGE_WIDTH_B4
NFX_PAGE_WIDTH_A3
convert_bad_line
NFX_BAD_LINE_ACTION_DROP
NFX_BAD_LINE_ACTION_PREV
NFX_BAD_LINE_ACTION_TICK
Description
The default attributes constitute image format capabilities that are found in every fax terminal. Therefore, any file processed by
nfxcnvrt
using its default values can be transmitted to, or received by, any fax terminal, regardless of its capabilities.
A screen message displays the number of pages processed when
nfxcnvrt
completes the conversion.
To repair any bad lines in a file, run
nfxcnvrt
and specify an output format that is the same as the input format. This removes bad lines by dropping the line, repeating the previous line, or replacing the line with a blank line and a tick mark in the margin, depending on the value selected for
convert_bad_line
. The original image cannot be reconstructed.
