[hylafax-users] Page length and page chop

[Adam Fox <afox@gribbles.com.au>]

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with the page length of documents that we send. 
Nearly all of the faxes that we send are text documents that are 30 
lines long with a form feed (^L) character seperating each page. What we 
want to happen is when hylafax gets to a ^L character, we want the page 
to be chopped so paper isn't wasted. What's happening at the moment is 
the page is sent as an A4 page, so there is about half a page of 
trailing white space. This isn't so much of a problem for plain paper 
fax machines but for thermal paper fax machines this is a waste.

I've been playing around with all the different commands that the text 
document goes through to be converted to a fax (textfmt, gs, ps2fax) but 
haven't had any luck yet. If anyone knows how I can work around this, 
please let me know! If I can't get this working, then my boss doesn't 
want to use hylafax and all my hard work will come undone, so I'm 
preying there is a way to get around this!

Thanks

Adam Fox.
