# Fax Machine -- Advanced Settings

When a Fax Machine is selected as the destination type, there are additional features available under the Advanced Tab:

Preferred Report Image Resolution: Alarmware allows you to determine the printed resolution of fax reports. The Fine setting will produce better quality on the printed page, but will also require twice as long to transmit the information. You may find it more economical and time saving to leave the setting at the Standard resolution.

Include Cover Page: When selected, the fax report will include a cover page that includes; Channel Status Summary Counts, Cumulative Statistics, and Power Status. See Cover Page

Maximum number of pages per report: This feature is designed to allow the Catalyst a chance to interrupt a long fax transmission when another session is pending. The fax transmission will proceed until the maximum page parameter is reached. When the maximum page parameter is reached, the transmission will be interrupted and the next session will initiate. If there is no other session pending, the fax transmission will continue, regardless of this setting.

Maximum transmission time per page: This parameter is in place to prevent long session over noisy phone lines. If communication between the Catalyst and the Fax machine is lost, this feature allows the Catalyst to end the session and ultimately reset and re-connect for re-transmission.

Fax Report suspension and resumption: Long fax reports need suspension when there is an unacknowledged alarm wanting to use the phone line for other notifications. Fax reports will suspend when the total page or per-page limits are exceeded. The suspended report will indicate the reason for report suspension.
