Details

The document queue data structure is maintained internally by NaturalFax and returns a handle to use with all other NaturalFax functions. Each document queue is associated with a specified context. Subsequent calls to nfxEnqueueDoc, nfxDestroyQueue, nfxSendFax, nfxReceiveFax, or nfxAnswerFaxPoll verify that the document queue is associated with the same context as the current operation.

You can associate more than one document queue with a given context, but you can associate only one send queue and one receive queue with an active fax session. For example, to send multiple queues, you call nfxSendFax for each queue.

Refer to Using document queues for more information.
