Re: [hylafax-users] Bad 1D/2D pixel counts and invalid code words UPDATE
Just some guesses from me: By default hylafax writes badly endcoded tiff files
(if there are transmission problems and no error correction is active)
Maybe your tiff file has errors which lead to the hang of the program you use
to process it.
in my private archive there is this mail (there is more in the archives but
www.hylafax.org is down currently)

This is pretty normal. Fax protocol (without ECM) is unreliable, and broken
scan lines sometimes happen. Hylafax by default stores them to TIFF file
"as is".

You have a number of options to change this behaviour:
1. If you use Class2/2.0 modem, and it supports quality checking, try to
enable "receive copy quality correction" in the modem (man config for
Class2CQCmd parameter and your modem's manual). E.g. for Zyxel Elite Class
2.0 the appropriate command would be "AT+FCQ=2,2". Note that many modems
incorrectly reports that they support copy quality checking, although in
fact they do not!
(or)
2. Force Hylafax to check/correct copy quality itself. By default it does
not enabled in Class2/2.0 (if your modem reports CQ capabilities) and can
be achieved with
Class2CQQueryCmd: "!(0),(0)"
in your config.<modem device>
This way Hylafax will reencode the received image, and your viewer will be
quite happy (although visible transmission errors will not disappear).
(or)
3. Write ECM implementation for Hylafax (what I think about from time to
time) :-)))
Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry

I use
RecvDataFormat: "2-D MMR"
for a USR in Class 1 and this works well for me.
