Re: [hylafax-users] 4.2.1: batch and info/supportsBatching

Yes. As best that I can tell Brother fax machines do not support PPS-EOM (batching in ECM) very well. They do support EOM (batching in non-ECM) fine.


8 of them went fine (ricoh, xerow, unknown)

The 2 problematic receivers were the only ones to have 3 jobs for them
(the
other batched receivers had 2 each), don't know if this is relevant (I
think
it isn't, and cannot easily make test calls to them) and the sequence
of
events for both of them was:
1st call:
	1st job, eom, ok, 2nd job, eom, fail
2nd call:
	2nd job, eom, ok, 3rd job, eop, fail
3rd call:
	3rd job eop, ok

Yes, I have a Brother fax machine MFC-3100C, and it does the same thing when I fax batches in ECM to it. The pages print out, but it fails to respond to the post page message (no matter what it is) following PPS-EOM.


The actual problem is that the info/<faxno> file still reported
supportsBatching:yes for these 2 numbers (is this expected?). I now
changed
it to &supportsBatching:no. I read on bugzilla that if a problems
occurs in
the batched job then the number will be marked as bad for batching.

We have to teach HylaFAX faxsend to know how to recognize a batch failure to disable batching support to that destination. HylaFAX already knows a few kinds of batch failures, but not this one.


I've just committed the last patch on:

http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118

Which should do the trick.

Thanks.

Lee.
