The form is used to record and maintain a list of the Fax machines on the network which should be available to the Job Control and Scheduling facility. These Fax machines may be chosen as a destination for reports and other output from jobs run within the System.

Note: The facility to send output to a Fax destination is currently under development.

The Fax block contains:

• Fax
• Description
• Location Code
• Spooler
• Spooler Option
• Postcript check box
