How do I create a coversheet continuation page?        

---

A coversheet continuation page is used when the amount of text that you have added to your coversheet is too large.  As standard there is a default coversheet continuation page, that will be  applied to all coversheets, however by following the procedure below you can either customize this page or add different continuation pages for different coversheets.

 

Editing the default coversheet continuation page

Use Coversheet editor to create the coversheet continuation page. Save the page as DEFAULT.  

Once you have saved the coversheet follow the steps below:

•On the Zetafax server system browse to the \Zfax\SYSTEM\Z-COVER folder.

•This folder will contain all files for the coversheets that you have created, and one list control file named MSGDIR.CTL. Below is an example of a directory listing.

 

Template <DIR>

CoversheetA.g3f

CoversheetA.epn

DEFAULT.g3f

DEFAULT.epn

Msgdir.ctl

 

•Rename both DEFAULT files to:

 

DEFAULT.2.g3f

DEFAULT.2.epn

 

•Move both files to the template directory

•Restart the Zetafax Server

 

Creating a specific coversheet continuation page

Use Coversheet editor to create the coversheet continuation page. Save the page with a name you will recognize.  

Once you have saved the coversheet follow the steps below:

•On the Zetafax server system browse to the \Zfax\SYSTEM\Z-COVER folder.

•This folder will contain all files for the coversheets that you have created, and one list control file named MSGDIR.CTL. Below is an example of a directory listing.

Template <DIR>

CoversheetA.g3f

CoversheetA.epn

CoversheetB.g3f

CoversheetB.epn

Msgdir.ctl

•To turn these files into one coversheet of two pages, you need to rename the CoversheetB files using the following convention:

Template <DIR>

CoversheetA.g3f

CoversheetA.epn

CoversheetA .2.g3f

CoversheetA.2.epn

Msgdir.ctl

Note: The additional coversheet should have the same name as the primary coversheet with the addition of a .2 before the extension.

•CoversheetA, is now the first page of the coversheet, CoversheetA.2 is the second page of the coversheet.

•Open the Msgdir.ctl using notepad; it will contain something similar the following entries.

[ZETAFAX]

Type: LibDir

Revision: A

[DIRECTORY]

File: CoversheetA "Coversheet"

File: CoversheetB "Coversheet second page"

•The entries need to be edited as below to remove the reference to the second page:

[ZETAFAX]

Type: LibDir

Revision: A

[DIRECTORY]

File: CoversheetA "Coversheet"

•After you have made these changes, save the files and exit from notepad.

•Restart the Zetafax server.

To verify the update has been successful

Start up the Zetafax Client and submit a fax with enough notes on the coversheet so that it will use the second page you have created. You can also test it by sending a fax via the email gateway.

The first page of the coversheet will be CoversheetA, and subsequent pages will be CoversheetA.2. (Note: faxes must be sent in plain text format when sending from the email gateway).
