[hylafax-users] hylafax poor quality

[Nicola Murino <n.murino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I installed and configured hylafax, only a problem, poor quality! I try 
to attach a fax (I hope list rules allow this).

If you can see my attachment you notice there is a bad format, how to 
correct this? Is an hardware or software problem?

to send fax I use the following command:

sendfax -n -d 0697251190 file.pdf or file.ps

sendfax -n -s a4 -d 0697251190 file.pdf or file.ps

my configuration file:

cat config.ttyS0
