Managing Files
Eclipse FAX SE uses several different file types (a file type, also called a file format, is a method of
compressing and storing bits of information). Comprehensive information on file types is outside the scope of
this User's Guide, but you might find the information in the table below helpful.
Remember that every time you send or receive a PC fax, every time you fax a document to Eclipse FAX SE
and save it as a file, and every time you choose
File/New Page
from the Eclipse FAX SE menu bar, a file is
added to your disk. Over time, these files can take up a considerable amount of disk space. Therefore, we
recommend that you delete unwanted files frequently.

Explanations
DCX .DCX A document file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for sent and received PC faxes. This is
also the file type created when you choose
File/New Page
from the Eclipse FAX SE
menu bar. This file type is also used by other applications.
PCX .PCX A page file type used by various applications for single-page graphic images. You can
save files in Eclipse FAX SE with a PCX file type to use or edit in other applications
that support this file type, such as Paintbrush, the graphics program that comes with
Windows. A PCX file can contain only one page, so if you save a multiple-page file
with this file type, Eclipse FAX SE will create one PCX file for each page.
TIF .TIF A commonly-used file type for graphic images. Save files as TIF files in Eclipse FAX
SE to use in other applications that support this file type. (There are several variations of
the TIF standard, so other applications are not always able to read TIF files created in
Eclipse FAX SE.)
Cover Page .CVR A file type used by Eclipse FAX SE for cover pages. (You cannot add a new cover page
by creating a file of this type, because each cover page requires an accompanying .CCF
file with specially coded information.)
Letterhead .LHD Save files with this file type in order to use them as letterhead in Eclipse FAX SE.
Second
Sheets
.SND Save files with this file type in order to use them as second sheets in Eclipse FAX SE.
