Print Incoming Fax Routing Method

Parent Previous Next

You can configure selective print-out of the incoming faxes by using Print Incoming Routing Method. Depending on the Caller Number and Called Number (DID), incoming fax can be printed to different printers.


The behavior is defined by the so-called rules. Fax Voip FSP always checks Print rules, starting with the rule # 1. The fax will be routed according to the first rule, which satisfies the conditions of the call. All other rules are ignored. For example, if rule # 1 applies for all incoming calls ('Caller ID' = .*; 'Called Number' = .*), then other rules # 2, # 3, etc. applied to incoming calls never be able to work under any conditions.


Every rule can be enabled or disabled. If the rule is disabled, Fax Voip FSP takes this rule into account (as in the case of enabled) but does not print faxes. This can be used to temporarily disable printing for specified Caller (or Called) numbers.


To print an incoming fax to the specified printer, you must:



Incoming fax can be routed to one or more printers.


The maximum supported number of Print rules is specified by the current license. The rules that can not be used in the current configuration of the program are always highlighted in red and ignored.


To view Print fax routing method log, use Enable 'Print' incoming routing method debug logging option, see more details in the Incoming Routing Methods Logs chapter of this user manual.
