To fax

JReport Designer provides the feature of exporting the report results to fax either via a fax machine or a fax server. If you require this feature to be enabled, you will first need to configure your running environment.

Download the files listed in the tables below from our website (http://www.jinfonet.com/download/third party tool/JavaCommAPIV2 Win32.zip or http://www.jinfonet.com/download/third party tool/JavaCommAPIV2 Solaris.zip), and put them in the specified locations:

• For Windows

  File Name	Location
  comm.jar	<Java_install_root>\jre\lib\ext
  javax.comm.properties	<Java_install_root>\jre\lib
  Win32Com.dll	<Java_install_root>\jre\bin

• For Solaris

  File Name	Location
  comm.jar	<Java_install_root>/jre/lib/ext
  javax.comm.properties	<Java_install_root>/jre/lib
  libSolarisSerialParallel.so	LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Meanwhile, before you can export report results to fax, you need to have settings of the fax machine or fax server configured. Otherwise a warning message will be displayed when you try to export to fax. To do this:

1. In JReport Designer, click File > Options on the menu bar.
2. In the Options dialog, select the Export to category.
3. In the Fax tab, specify via which you want to fax the report results: fax machine or fax server.
4. Configure settings of the fax machine/server as required (For details about the settings, refer to Export to - Fax).
5. Click OK to accept the changes.

Now, you can export your report results to fax as follows:

1. Open the report that contains the report tab you want to export.
2. On the report tab bar, click the tab that represents the report tab.
3. Click File > Export To > Fax on the menu bar.
4. In the Export to Fax dialog, specify the settings as required. See the dialog.

   

5. When done, click OK to generate the file.
