RE: Fax Via Ethernet to As400 outq

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Isnt there a way to do this via Client Access, ie setting up a printer on your PC that sends to an OUTQ on the AS/400. Its a long time since i've done it, but im sure it can be done

Subject: Fax Via Ethernet to As400 outq

We are trying to get a Word document to fax via our network through FAXSTAR on our as400.

We create a doc in Word, then we would like to choose File/Print and select the 400 outq our Faxstar box is attached to.

We have successfully gotten as400 spool file to print on LAN network HP printers. We are looking for the reverse now.

Can this be done. Really it is just like printing to an as400 print Que.. Faxstar uses an as400 outq. Our docs have the codes to make it fax.

 

We are trying to do this as we are replacing OV with Word and a product from Netherlands called ITP Intelligent Text Processing. It allows you do get as400 data to Word docs. We looked at domino/Notes but cost/fax ability/money/management etc. led us to ITP.
