When a fax is received the header you see is part of the image. As such, it ends up in the TIFF file as part of the image. It is not available as text anywhere. The only way to make it available as text would be to implement OCR. That is complex and messy, and I have no intention to try. The only information sent between the FAX machines as text is the "identifier" - a 20 character string, which the standard says should be digits, and which is usually set to the telephone number of the FAX machine.
That's exactly what I was referring to. Is there any way to display that in the image received?
As I wrote previously I usually don't get the sender's callerID, but I do get the phone number printed when receiving with a usual fax machine. It would be nice to get this information with spandsp too
To send a fax I'm still using our Brother fax unit, works well...
Sorry for not using a new threads before... I thought about it, but the title was correct :)
The header is always in the received image. The TIFF file contains exactly the same image that a receiving FAX machine would print out.
