record
A collection of data elements grouped together by some commonality.
remote server
In CompuFax, a program which sends commands and information across a network or cluster to a device
server on another node, which in turn converts the documents and transmits them via a modem.
scaleable font
A typeface which can be adjusted in size by means of certain computer instructions. In a scaleable font, such
as used by PostScript or TrueType, the shape of the symbols is described mathematically and for a given font
size, the bitmap for each character is computed. See also soft font.
secondary key
When multiple keys are used to identify or locate records, a secondary key is any key in use other than the
primary key.
SEN D
The command that instructs CompuFax to transmit a fax document.
server
The central point of the CompuFax system. It is normally started when the computer system is started and
must be running for CompuFax to be used.
severity level
Part of a CompuFax or system message, which indicates the severity of an error, such as I for Informational,
or F for Fatal.
soft font file
A type of file used by CompuFax and certain types of printers, such as Hewlett Packard LaserJet, which
provides the font which is to be used in converting text into a bitmapped image. This is called a soft font to
contrast it with fonts that are built into the printer's hardware. Note that soft fonts are not scaleable.
source file
A file which contains a series of programming instructions, as written by a programmer, in a language that
resembles English to some degree. In order to make it possible to run such a program, the source file has to
be translated or interpreted by the computer.
static queue
A region on the disk and in memory, where CompuFax stores information regarding documents that are to be
converted and/ or transmitted.
success
A message status from CompuFax indicating that an action succeeded.
system prompt
The VMS command prompt. This is frequently set to a dollar sign ($), but may be changed by the user or
system manager. When this prompt is displayed, VMS is waiting for a command to be entered.
T.4 or T4
A standard method for compressing bitmapped files, for use with fax modems. CompuFax converts text files
and PostScript files into T4 files prior to sending them out as faxes.
