Including PCX Graphics in an Epson FX File                  

The EP2DCX program allows a reference to a PCX graphics files to be
included in the Epson FX source file.  As it is converting the file, EP2DCX
merges the PCX graphic image with the Epson FX image.  This feature allows
letterheads, logos, signatures, and other PCX graphics to be merged into
faxed documents.

To include a PCX graphics file in a fax, add the following command to the
line in the document where you want the graphic to start.

     "+PCXx:filename"

Where:

     x:    positions the graphic:           L: (left-justified)
                                            C: (centered)
                                            R: (right-justified)
                                            H: (put it here)

     filename  is the filename of the PCX graphics file to be inserted in
           the document.  The filename parameter can contain a path, such
           as C:\WP\LOGO.PCX.

For example, the following command will add the file SIGNATUR.PCX to your
document.  The R: option will place the graphic at the right edge of the
page (not the right margin of the text).

     "+PCXR:SIGNATUR.PCX"

Here are some additional considerations when using the +PCX command:

  :  The command can be placed anywhere on the line without affecting the
     position defined by x: (except when x = H), but the entire command
     must be contained on one line.  Also, the command must not be broken
     up by control strings (which are often used in proportional spacing).

  :  Enough space must be left below the command for the graphic image
     being added.  The graphic image must fit on one page and can't be more
     than 8.5 inches wide.

  :  The PCX file must be in fine resolution (200 dots per inch [dpi]),
     even when the fax is standard resolution.  If the PCX file is in
     standard resolution (100 dpi vertically), the graphic will be faxed at
     half its intended height.

  :  Errors in the PCX graphics file will stop the conversion.
