Script Method: Reform uses macro script to control your fax device. Macro script is basically a keystroke definition that will be used to simulate key presses required to complete the faxing process. By using the macro script approach, Reform is able to control wide varieties of faxing devices. Simply attach a macro script to your faxing device and Reform will apply the attached macro script every time you print a form to this faxing device. Note that the attached scripts are independent from the forms you design. Reform stores this information in its configuration file. To create or modify a script, select Edit Script… from the Script Setup Dialog.

Script Editor environment is similar to that of the Windows Notepad. It allows you to enter in the macro script necessary to complete the faxing task for a particular faxing device. To achieve this, you must go through the faxing process for your faxing device and record the keystrokes necessary to complete the task. Then, enter it into the Script Editor. 

There are some special key definitions you need to be familiar with when creating a script:

1.) Install fax system and check printers to identify the fax printer name.

2.) Open Reform Editor program. (Go to Start > Program > Reform > Editor)

3.) From the menu bar go to options > fax automation then highlight the fax printer name and select properties.

4.) 

 
Select edit Script to create script or select attach to check if your fax system has a template already created.

Once your fax driver has a script attached you are ready to start using the fax macro function.
