Problem

Solutions: Hewlett Packard markets the HP LaserJet Fax which works with an HP LaserJet printer. The HPFAX software needs a file to be in PCL, TIFF 5.0, PCX, or ASCII format. The HP documentation states that the PCL format usually gives the best results. In WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, the HP LaserJet FAX driver was added 07/12/91, and is a PCL 4 driver.

The WP Printer Help screen refers to the WordPerfect Macro HPFAX and WPREADME.TXT that are in the \HPFAX\WP51FAX directory. The Hewlett Packard software revision A.01.03 (05/29/91 software kit) of the FAX software includes the macro and the Readme file. WordPerfect does not send out the HPFAX macro. When this revision is installed it creates the \HPFAX\WP51FAX directory and copies the HPFAX.WPM, HPLASFAX.ALL, and the WPREADME.TXT files into it. The Readme file explains that the user should copy all the files in the \HPFAX\WP51FAX directory to the WP51 directory and then use the macro from WordPerfect to print to the HPFAX. The macro creates a print to disk file called \HPFAX\WPHPFAX.PCL. The user then exits WordPerfect and goes into the HPFAX software to send the file to the fax.
