	Command requirements and restrictions
	Using the SNDDOMFAX command
	Downloading the SNDDOMFAX command

• The SNDDOMFAX command makes use of Host Print Transform which requires that 5722SS1(on IBM i 5.4) or 5761SS1(on IBM i 6.1) Option 8 (AFP Compatibility Fonts) be installed on your system.
  
  
• A Domino server must reside on the same IBM i system where the SNDDOMFAX command is run and the Domino server must have access to a Domino Fax server via foreign domains.
  
  
• The program SNDDOMFAX and the command source must be in the same library (QFXDTOOLS).
  
  If you want to put them into a different library you can use the Change Command (CHGCMD) command to link the Command Processing Program with the Command.
  
  
• The Workstation Customization object, QFXDFINE, must be in the library QFXDTOOLS.
  
  
• The sndfax1.zip file contains a QFXDSAV save file and a readme file. The content of QFXDSAV have been compiled on an IBM i 5.4 system but target i5/OS V5R2. Therefore, the SNDDOMFAX command may only be compiled and run on i5/OS V5R2 or later systems.
  
  
• User considerations:
  • The user must be registered in the System Distribution Directory. Use the Add Directory Entry (ADDDIRE) command to do this if necessary.
  • The PUBLIC authority to the SNDDOMFAX command is set to *EXCLUDE. Individuals who will run the command must be manually added to the authorization list for both the command.
    Typically, users will not have access to some of the objects that SNDDOMFAX uses so the command runs under user profile *OWNER(QSYS) instead of *USER. Use the Work with Authority command (WRKAUT) to authorize individuals or groups to run the command.
  • You must either library qualify the call to SNDDOMFAX or add QFXDTOOLS to your library list.
  
  
• The use of Host Print Transform imposes the following restrictions on the content of the faxed spooled files:
  • No support for Graphics Tower or GOCA
  • To fax an overlay, you must use an *AFPDS spooled file (not *SCS)
  • Font substitution may provide undesirable results
  • 2UP and 4UP printing/faxing are not supported
  • CHRSIZ keyword is not supported
  • Host Print Transforms is CPU intensive and may affect overall system performance.

• From information (name and information about the sender of fax)

• Message Text (for example, Here is the information you asked for)
• Spooled File (information necessary to identify the spooled file or files)
• Scheduled Date and Time (for delayed transmission)
