[hylafax-users] Use2D on Solaris with Hylafax 4.2.1

["Roberts-Thomson, James" <James.Roberts-Thomson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Use2D on Solaris with Hylafax 4.2.1

All,

I'm trying to debug an issue where faxes aren't being transmitted correctly from Hylafax 4.2.1.  I've narrowed it down to the use of "2-D MMR" in the outgoing faxes.  If a fax is sent with 2-D MMR, then the receiving machine will fail to receive it correctly.  Usually the problem is a "Unspecified Transmit Phase C error (code 40)" error returned to Hylafax.

The problem I have is that using "sendfax -1" to force 1-D MH transmission works, but I can't make this the default.  Attempting to set the "Use2D: No" setting in the /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config still results in 2-D MMR being sent.

Examples of logs (fax numbers obscured):

Using "sendfax -1" :

All good.   However, with the following etc/config file:

AreaCode:               4
LongDistancePrefix:     1
InternationalPrefix:    00
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules

JobReqNoCarrier:        240
JobReqNoFCon:           240
JobReqOtherS2:          240
Use2D:                  No

a normal "sendfax -n -d <number> <filename>" command will do this:

How can I force 1-D globally if the "Use2D" setting is being ignored?  Or more to the point, why is the Use2D setting being ignored?

Can anyone suggest how to debug this issue further?

If possible, please include a CC to my email address on any replies.
