The Fax Window

A fax window is used to display a received fax as well as save or print the image. The window looks like:

The window has a "Page" popup which allows you to switch to other pages in the received fax. Also, the "Zoom" popup allows you to zoom in or out of the fax so you can see more or less detail.

You can use the mouse to select a rectangular area of the graphic image and you can drag it onto an app like Rraster. If you want to use the whole page in another program, I suggest using the Save As option to export the data.

There are a number of menu items that are enabled in this window or have a slightly different meaning when used in this window:

Menu ItemDescription
File -> Save As...This menu item is used save the current page to a graphic file. Selecting it will present you with a window where you can select the kind of graphic file you would like to save it as. The options available here depend on which Translator addons you have installed on your machine. Note that the addons supplied by Be are read only so you cannot save a fax unless you download a Translator addon that does support saving. After selecting a fomat, a standard save panel appears where you can select the directory and name of the file.
File -> PrintThis menu item is used to print the received fax. Refer to your BeOS documentation for information on how to configure a printer on your machine.
Edit -> CopyThis menu item is disabled for now. Soon, I hope to have this item put the selected region of the graphic image into the clipboard
Edit -> Select AllThis menu item allows you to select the entire graphic image.

That is about all there is to this window.
