Configuring SAPConnect to send FAX

Hi,
I've a problem.
I've configured a Node in SAPConnect i've called it "SAPNODE" and i've configured a FAX address that accept all FAX addresses and all kind of format.
I've Create a RFC Destination that have a Register Program ID "RFCTEST" used from ".Net Connector Idoc Service" idocreceiverservice that receive document from the RFC. But I don't know if i can use this software to receive my fax document.
But I've create a FAX document (RAW and ALI) and I've send it.
In SAPConnect i've forced a send Process, but my faxes were not sent.
Error is: "Cannot process message in node, parameters cannot be converted", and my service not receive anything!
I've not found no documentation, no help, nothing about this problem and his resolution.
Please Help me....
Thanks

Configure SAPConnect for sending Fax Output

Hi all,
I have a business requirement to send a purchase order output thru Winfax. I wonder how this can be setup in SAP using SAPConnect?
In addition, I wonder if I want to send PO output thru a fax machine instead of Winfax, how would the setting be different?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Tom

Hi,
To control the output of the form, you use various fields in a structure with the type SFPOUTPUTPARAMS. When the form is called in the application program, these fields are sent to the function module FP_JOB_OPEN as parameters (IE_OUTPUTPARAMS).
If you want Output as Fax or E-Mail
1. In your application program, set the field SFPOUTPUTPARAMS-GETPDF.
2. The system sends the generated PDF form back to the application program, where it can then be forwarded to the interface of the Business Communication Services.

Sending fax with SMTP

Hi,
I want to configure the sending of fax via SMTP. I´ve read the note Note 455140 - Configuration of e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP. But there are concepts that I´ve not much clear. Which is the process of sending the fax via email.
The sapconnect for sending emails is configured, and the mails are received correctly. which elements are necessary?
sap system -> smtp mail server -> target fax?¿?¿
More thanks

Hi Juan,
I don´t have a Fax Server that supports SMTP, I thought that there are two options via smtp or fax server.
Then It´s mandatory to have a fax server.
Thanks

Problem sending Faxes from Change Order(IW32) in NW 2004s

Hello Everyone,
We have just recently upgraded our version of SAP from 4.6c and we have discovered an interesting issue when trying to fax shop papers from IW32.
In 4.6c we had configured a output device in SPAD that would redirect the output to SCOT via SAPcomm to our Rightfax fax servers. With the new version of SAP the functionality for creating an output device of type 'FAX' has been disabled since SAPConnect has replaced SAPComm.
How we used to do this is we'd goto IW32, enter an order and choose the menu function Order/Print/Order you could then enter the device type and also the recipient's fax number and the country code.
When we try this in the new system no fax is created, when we remove the device type (clear the box) we still do not create a fax output. When we specify another device (i.e. printer etc) we get an error stating that this is not a Fax device and the request fails.
Does anyone know of a way to correct this problem since our users would like to continue to fax shop papers from our system.
Regards,
James

Juan,
We are able to send faxes from SAP to our rightfax system without issues. This is not the problem we are experiencing.
The issue is when you try to fax something from IW32 via the option Print/Order/Print. It requires a spool output device to be specified.
Since you cannot create an output device of type FAX anymore and you cannot use another type of device type to send the fax we are trying to figure out how to get these printouts to be redirected to SAPConnect and SCOT.
Regards,
James

HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276nw - Cannot Send Faxes via WIFI

Hi all,
I have a problem sending faxes from my laptop through the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276nw printer.
I can send faxes from the printer device itself if i place a doucment into the feeder.
The problem exists when connecting to the all-in-one device via the WIFI, printing is fine and connection is active though when trying to fax a dcoument from my desktop utilising the FAX driver it complains about the printer being offline and cannot communicate to the all-in-one device?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jono

Hey @BSA_IT,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're having an issue sending faxes from your PC through the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw. I would like to assist you with this.
The following might help:
Click on Start / Devices and Printers
Double click on your printer's Fax icon
Click See What's Printing
Click Printer
If 'Use Printer Offline' is checked as you'll see in the screenshot below, be sure to uncheck it.
Next, try sending the fax through your laptop as before. If you run into the same issue, try the following steps to rule out Windows settings as interfering with fax sending capabilities:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box right above Start, type msconfig and hit enter on your keyboard
When the System Configuration Window opens select 'Selective Startup' and uncheck Load Startup Items
Click the Services tab. Check the box at the bottom for Hide All Microsoft Services
Select Disable All
Select Apply and OK
Restart your computer when prompted
Once the computer reboots, trying sending the fax.
To enable the programs after you've tested the machine, just open MSCONFIG the same way and under the general tab, just click 'normal startup' Hit apply and OK and reboot one final time
Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.
Best of luck!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't send fax

My previous HP printer faxed fine. This one will not always connect even though it hears the fax tone. I'll get an error 322, and then I try it again and it connects. But now it sends 2 pages (I'm trying to send 3) then gives error 322. I have a phone with answering machine on this line - the same configuration has worked fine with past HP printers. I tried slowing down the fax speed - that has not helped. I ran the fax test and got all passes, and I sent a test fax to 1-888-hpfaxme and that worked fine (I got a response back). Could the problem be with the fax at the other end? (except that I have been faxing to this same fax monthly for years) Or with my phone and answering machine (I have Vonage which also includes voicemail and caller id, which *32 does not turn off). I've never experienced faxing being this hard.

Hi anthony2,
I see by your post that you are having issues sending faxes and have been getting a 322 error.
I can help you with this issue.
Keep in mind that you are using a VoIP line and voicemail which can cause issues.
A Analogue line is your best bet for using a fax.
Make sure you are using the 2 wire fax cable.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if it will help resolve this issue.
Fax Sending Fails Intermittently or Fails for Only One Recipient.
This information was provided from this document for Interpreting Error Codes in Fax Communication Error or Fax History Reports.
There was a communication error with the receiving fax machine due to poor telephone line conditions.
Set the receiving machine to receive at a slower transmission speed
If the session fails after sending several pages of a large document, resend the document as several smaller documents.
Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Line Alignment Problem while sending Fax from SAP Script

Moderator message: please do not post the same question in different forums
Hi Experts,
While sending fax the horizontal lines are not displaying till the end of the page.
But in the print preview the lines are displying till the end.
If this is printed using local printer the lines are printing fine but the problem is with the fax.
Please provide me a solution for this.
Regards,
Rajesh.
Edited by: Matt on Nov 25, 2008 2:51 PM

Puzzling.
I've seen where the printed output doesn't match the print preview but not a fax not matching a print.
Do you use SAPConnect or the older SAPComm method for faxing?
How do you produce the horizontal lines? BOX commands, ULINE, '-', etc.?

Unable to send FAX of Delivery Note Adobe form - Not visible in SOST

Hello,
I have created a delivery note adobe form and the output medium has been configured as FAX. But when we are doing any delivery in VL02N, the FAX output is not going to SOST.
Let me tell you that, for printing it's working fine. It's going to SP02 successfully.
Thanks
Satya

Hello Satya,
This issue may be due to several reasons. Here are some of the reasons.
1. check the settings in the of fax in scot transaction.
2. check the whether any virus scan profile is active, if it is active, check whether any default profile is maintained or not.
Please provide me the procedure or function module which you are using to send fax. so that it will be easy to understand the type of the error. Also check whether email is working for the above scenario
thanks,
Rakesh.

Sending FAX with attachments using in RightFax

Hi,
We are in CRM 7. and sending Fax using RightFax - Rightfax through SMTP/SAP Connect configured.
In case the outgoing Email in format html – attachment not sending through RightFax
(Mail document class is MHT)
I can see the mail with the attachment in SOST
In case the outgoing Email in format text – attachment sent correcty.
)Mail document class is RAW)
It’s probably related to mail document class,
But I didn’t figure it out.

Re: Sending fax from MacPro through multi-function printer.

I am running OS 10.6.8 on my MacPro (Model4, 1), to which is attached a Brother MFC-440CN (with fax capability) through a router. I am able to print, but when I try send a fax I receive the message "NO FAX MODEMS WERE FOUND." I can send and receive fax documents directly through the MFC. Why is the fax not available to the MacPro? How can I resolve the problem?
Thanks for your help.

Problem solved! At the Brother website, in the FAQS area, under "How do I send a PC-Fax in Macintosh," I found the following Solution:
Description of Solution 200000017785
To send a PC Fax follow the steps listed below:
1. Create a document in a Macintosh application.
2. From the application click FILE => PRINT. The Printer dialog box appears.
Mac OS X 10.5.x - 10.6.x Users: Click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu to display configuration options.
3. Choose SEND FAX from the pop-up menu.
4. Choose FACSIMILE from the Output pop-up menu.
5. Enter a fax number in the Input Fax Number box, and then click PRINT to send the fax.
NOTE: If you want to send a fax to more than one number, click ADD after entering the first fax number. The destination fax numbers will be listed in Destination Fax Numbers field.
I would assume that this solution may apply to most other MFCs (HP, etc.), depending on an applications software.

HOW TO SEND FAX THROUGH INTERNAL MODEM

Hi,
I am trying to use my computer to send a recieve faxs. I am connected to the internet via infar red port. And I am under the impression I can use my internal modem to send and receive faxes.
I have hooked the phone socket to internal modem input on my Lap top and have tried many times to send and receive but it says my modem is not set up.
Looking in prefs it is not set up, but it wants a telephone number for dial up.
I have broadband so have no idea about a telephone number for dial up.
Is there a way to set the modem up to receive and send faxes and still be connected to broadband internet?
Hope you can help,
Jamie

If you want to use the modem to send and receive faxes, then you don't want to have the Network trying to control it, you should disable the modem port in the Network prefs and use only the Ethernet port. You can use the Network prefs to troubleshoot to ensure that the modem is in working condition, but you can't have the network dial-up taking control of the modem at the same time as you want to be waiting for a fax or sending a fax. This can cause the modem to get hung, and you will get the waiting behavior that you described.
You should just be able to receive faxes by checking the "Receive faxes on this computer" button in the Print & Fax Prefs. If you had an external modem you could see some activity lights come on as soon as you check the box as it goes into standby to answer a call mode, with an internal the only way to know it's working is to send yourself a fax.
To send a fax, I think you might need to configure a Fax printer, if you don't seem to have one already. Click the "Setup Fax Modem..." button at the bottom of that Print & Fax Prefs. IF you launch /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility can you select from the View Menu: Show Fax List and does anything show up in the list? You should have a Fax List and fax printer in that list similar to your Printer List and whatever printer you have installed.
To check if the modem is even working you may have to use some modem terminal utility like ZTerm that will let you type simple commands and check the modem response. For example AT should result in an OK. With the internal you can't check the activity lights to see if you are receiving data or sending data, so I'm not sure how else you can verify the internal modem is actually functioning. It might be worthwhile checking that first, or if you know you can use it for dial-up, I still use my modem as a backup for when DSL goes out (rarely).

Error when clicking send fax in SAP B1 2007A

Hi,
I'm trying to configure my client's SAP B1 server to be able to send faxes via SBOMailer and MS Fax. I read the guides and documentation.
1. Does faxing only work strictly in the scenarios stated in the documentation?
2. Will it work if:-
a) The server has MS Fax and a fax modem installed; and
b) I am logged in to the server via remote desktop; and
c) I only configured the fax portion of the SBOMailer since I am not using the email function?
Basically, in this scenario, the Service Manager, SBO Mailer, MS Fax, fax modem and SAP Client (because I am using remote desktop) are on the same machine.
I am asking this because I keep getting the following error when I click send:-
"Email address has not been defined for the sender. Cannot send email, SMS, or fax. , 'manager' [Message 3581-4]"
I have checked the company details, business partner details and the fax console's "sender information". They all have email addresses and fax numbers keyed in.
After a few minutes, the fax console shows that the system tried to dial to itself and so got a "no dial tone" error. The file that it sent only contained the Cover page and nothing else. What's going on?
Can anyone out there help me?
Regards,
Jin Siang

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. That solved one part of the problem. Now the system states "Operation Completed Successfully." BUT nothing appears in the fax console outbox and sent folders. The SBOMailer and MS Fax do not seem to be communicating with each other.
Email settings are blank because it is not used.
For fax settings, I put:-
Microsoft Fax Server: Server IP
Fax Server Type: Microsoft Fax
All tickboxes have been checked.
Schedule settings: On specific date
Connection settings: Correct login settings
Database settings: Correct DB selected
Any ideas, guys?
Thanks,
Chris.

How to send faxes and e-mails in ECC6 .0 ?

We are trying to upgrade from 4.6c (hp-ux) to ECC 6.0 (hp-ux) .
We are sending faxes via Winfax pro.
In ECC 6.0 , transaction SPAD doesn't allow Telefax as a type of device.
We are also sending e-mails through "SAP Internet mail Gateway" and MS-Exchange 2003.
It seems the two solutions have been discontinued.
How to setup fax & e-mail ?
Winfax Pro is not supported now, so there it exist a SAP supported list of fax software ?
Thank you.

Hi,
1. You have to Configure the Email connections through SCOT tcode.
2. After that you ccan send/recive a mails from exchange server and SAP R/3 systems.
Look into the following link.
