PostScript language files are ASCII text files, similar to what your
Macintosh sends to your PostScript printer. CCITT Group III files
are compressed 200 dots per inch (dpi) binary images, which is
the standard for facsimile transmission.
The benefits of transmitting PostScript files include the following:
Higher-quality documents received by PostScript fax printers
•
because documents do not have to be turned into standard
Group III bitmapped file
Lower phone costs due to shorter transmission time for most
•
documents.
The following special conditions must be considered when
transmitting PostScript files:
Both sending and receiving devices must be PostScript fax
•
printers
PostScript fax printers can be set with a password, so only
•
users provided with the password can transmit PostScript files
to the protected fax printer
Failed PostScript file transmissions are automatically retried in
•
Group III format to ensure that the document is at least
transmitted in the lower-quality image format
Transmitting a document using fonts that are not resident in
•
the receiving PostScript fax printer results in font substitution,
along with document reformatting. This may produce
undesirable results.
Note: If sufficient memory is not available in the
N
printer to transmit a file as Resolution PostScript, the
printer defaults to sending the fax job at 200 dpi, the
resolution of a Group III fax. The Fax Activity Log
reports the resolution at which the job was sent.
Refer to the "Performance enhancements" appendix for
additional information on transmitting PostScript files.
