Environment

  • GFI FaxMaker
  • Any device using Brooktrout drivers (including SR140)

 

Root Cause

The resolution set in the Brooktrout Configuration tool was higher than the maximum resolution supported by FaxMaker.

 

Resolution

  • FaxMaker supports a maximum resolution of 200x200:

    Faxmaker resolution settings

  • However, it is possible to use the Brooktrout Configuration tool only allows the device to use a higher resolution setting.

  • Follow these steps to check these settings:
    1. Open the Brooktrout Configuration tool.
    2. Navigate to BTCall Parameters > Advanced Settings > Allowed Resolutions.

  • If these settings are put above 200Hx200V, then they will take precedence over the settings in FaxMaker, resulting in faxes that look as if they are cut off or cut up.

  • To ensure that faxes do not end up looking like this, open the Brooktrout Configuration tool and set the resolution down to 200Hx200V.
