Re: Partial page print

Switch to Class 1 (from Class 1.0) and see what happens.

V.34-Fax unfortunately burdens the DCE (the modem firmware) with the 
generation of FCS bytes on the ECM frames. Consequently, the error 
correction occurs between the DCE and the remote end rather than from 
the DTE (the software, HylaFAX in this case). So, in a V.34-Fax 
situation the serial communication path between the DTE and DCE is not 
checked for errors.

Switching to Class 1 (disabling V.34-Fax) will make ECM check the entire 
data path, including the serial path between the DTE and DCE.

Normally the serial path between the DTE and the DCE is not suspect 
because... well, it's a rare thing. However, if the flow-control is 
broken (software or hardware - XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS) or if the serial 
driver(s) are buggy, then there can be problems.

If I remember right, you are using a virtual machine, and if that is the 
case, then my first suspicion would be that there is a problem with the 
serial emulation in the VM. (We've certainly seen that be the case many 
times before.)

Thanks,

Lee.
