Re: [hylafax-users] 408 Horizontal Resolution

Hi,

I'm trying to get Hylafax CVS HEAD to send a fax that has a resolution
of 408x392.  The resolution of my image is 408x392 and is 3456 pixels
wide by 4227 pixels tall.

I am calling sendfax on the command line like this:
	/usr/sbin/sendfax -n -G -d 1234567 file.tif

In /var/log/messages, I am seeing:
CONVERT DOCUMENT: bin/tiff2fax -o docq/doc37.tif;32 -r 391 -w 1728 -l
280 -m 4294967295 -1 docq/doc37.tif.37

I have a few questions:
1.  Why is the vertical resolution set to 391?  I thought it was
supposed to be 392

R8 resolutions are defined by T.30 as 7.7 lines/mm vertically, and R16 is 15.4 lines/mm. Since there are 25.4 mm/inch those vertical resolutions calculate out to be 195.58 lines/in and 391.16 lines/in respectively. Rounding rules say you round up with the former and down with the latter.


2.  Shouldn't the width be 3456 or is it ok that -w is 1728 and
tiff2fax
won't change the
Horizontal resolution, 1728/204 and 3456/408 being equal width?

To avoid pixel-width conflicts between resolutions the conversion utilities always specify page width in R8 resolution measurements - even if R8 resolution is not being used. Basically when it says "-w 1728" it means 215 mm; it's specifying a width measurement and not a pixel count.


See this thread:

3. Anything special I need to do to enable 408x392 faxes?

I don't understand. You mean 408x392 versus 408x391?
