FORM FILE: Enter the name of a PCX file which you wish to use as a pre-printed
form or custom stationary. A leading '!' indicates reverse-video. Optional.

PAGE RANGE: Enter a page range that you want converted, EX: 01-10.  Optional

PAGE DIMENSIONS: Enter the page size you wish. Optional - default is "NA".
NA = 1728 X 2156,  A3 = 2432 X 3307,  A4 = 1728 X 2340,  B4 = 2048 X 2780
(All dimension are in the Group 3 FAX resoluion of 200 dots per inch)

====================== ADVANCED OPTIONS ======================================
DBL-PRINT -> REVRS-VIDEO: Enter 'y' to have Double-print control codes in the

LANDSCAPE MODE: If this option is available, enter 'y' to rotate images 90
degrees before FAXing. ECL file MUST be in landscape mode. This is optional.

EXPAND GRAFX to 200dpi: A 'y' entered here indicates that you wish to have
graphics within your document expanded 10%% to accomodate FAX resolution versus
printing to an Epson printer.  This is the default.  If your word processor is
painting the page purely in graphics, you will want to override this feature.
Some experimenting may be necessary. OPTIONAL.

REVIEW CONVERSION PROCEDURE: See the HQ-FAX User manual.  This is optional.
