Re: Fax Rendering

Hi Chad,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup and also for Costas¡¯s input.

From your description, I know that you send Fax with Outlook software. If
you add a .tff file as a attachment, you get the following:

¡°The MS Fax transport failed to deliver the message to the recipient. Not
all attachments can be rendered.¡±

If I am off-base, please don¡¯t hesitate to let me know.

Please let me know the following to make the situation more clearly:

1. Do all clients or some of them have this problem?
2. Which version of outlook do you use?
3. What¡¯s the brand of your fax device?

Please take the following steps to narrow down this issue:

For some reason in Office 2003, the file associations for ".tif" and
".tiff" have been changed to MSPaper.Document. Please try the following.

Open regedit, migrate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSPaper.Document\shell\printto\command and set to

rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1"
"%2" "%3" "%4"

Once that is done, TIF attachments are rendered and sent from Outlook
without a problem.

For more information, please refer to:

sending .tif files as fax directly from outlook 2003

Hope above information helps.

If you need further assistance, please don¡¯t hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)

<Outlook doesn't have rendering capabilities and that's the reason for the
<error. If you had plain text on the message, within Outlook, then you
could
<fax without a problem. You'll have to use the Print option of the
<application to send the fax. Since you have a Word document and a tiff
<file, you'll have to print the Word document to the "Microsoft Office
<Document Image Writer" which will create a tiff file and then insert the
<other tiff file below that.

<After that "print to fax"
