Off the top of my head, I think you'd have to
-create a duplicate object of the print file.  (You could call it "FAXPRTF"
or something.)
   OR
-do an OVRPRTF from your original print file to FAXPRTF.

In your RPG program, you'd
-code a seperate F-spec for the fax print file
-rename all the record formats in the fax print file
-for each EXCPT,  you duplicate the EXCPT, and use the name of the renamed
fax record format in the EXCPT
-in the O-specs, create duplicate printer output specs for all the EXCPT-s
you've duplicated in your code

I know it seems a long way around, and I'm sure there's a better way to do
it, but I dunno what it is off the top of my head programatically.

Alternately, there may be a way of duplicating the completed spool file
INTO the fax output queue.  It'd be so tasty if OS/400 had a CRTDUPSPLF
command.  I seem to recall a similar program being written years ago, and
it being published in News 3X/400.
