Important: For rendering PDF Attachments with Ghostscript

We recommend using Ghostscript for rendering PDF attachments, as it can generate better rendered images and reduce the chance of having printing errors.

This is a feature introduced since ExtraFax 2.3 for Exchange and ExtraFax 9.0.1 for Notes/Domino.

In order to use this feature, you will have to download and install Ghostscript onto your ExtraFax server machine, and then configure the settings of your ExtraFax server for enabling it.

Please refer to the ExtraFax Administration Guide for details about the configuration.


For rendering other types of attachments, please try the following steps:

1) Shutdown ExtraFax by typing "tell extrafax quit" at the Domino server console. If ExtraFax server is installed in workstation mode, press "CTRL-C" to shut it down



2) In Windows, click the Start button -> All Programs -> Printers and Faxes -> and right-click the "Any2Fax" printer and select "Properties"



3) On the General tab, select Printing Preferences.



4) On the Layout tab, click Advanced.



5) Under Document Options, proceed to select "Halftoning -> Super Cell" and click OK



6) Proceed to select the Advanced tab and click on the Printing Defaults button



7) On the Layout tab, click Advanced.
