As someone who writes the code, I must respectuflly disagree.
hylafax-config man page is correct. The TagLine is *part* of the image
transmitted. For every page we transmit, we rasterise the tagline,
filling in the necessary information, like current session page number,
and current job page number, based on the configured TagLineFormat and
TagLineFont, merging it with the other image data, before sending it.
FAXNumber is never transmitted on it's own. LocalIdentifier is part of
the T.30 transmittion, sent along with the DCS.
As to why you're tagline isn't showing up on the receiver's end, I can
only suggest 2 things to check:
1) Is it being sent, but because of printer capabliitites, the outside 3
or 4 mm are not printable, and therfore it's in the image, just not
printed.
2) If the TagLineFont is invalid (not readable, not good, etc) taline
won't be imaged, and therfore not sent.
