NBW: faxing included graphic

["Joel Lidov" <Lidov>]

I finally got around to scanning in a copy  of my dept. letterhead, 
saving it as a .bmp file.  I then included it in a Framed Area at the 
top of a page.  So far, so good.  Printed it to the LJ5L, and it came 
out as it should (not as useless as it sounds, since the letterhead is 
such a light gray that it can't be xeroxed or faxed, and this procedure 
produces a darker version).  But I should be able to fax directly from 
NB, and here something goes wrong with the graphic: it gets enlarged, 
distorted, and truncated.

My "fax" is the marvellously efficient MightyFAX program which installs 
itself as a printer.  Normally, anything I can print to the printer, I 
can also fax, just by selecting the fax as the "printer" in the Printer 
Setup of whatever  program I am using (including both NBW and the 
scanner's control program).  But in this case the .bmp gets distorted.  
NBW shows the distorted version on screen once the fax printer is 
selected and used.  The FAQ for the printer program says that if you 
are have problems faxing graphics from MSW you should make sure that 
you have chose the option to "use printer metrics" within MSW.  Is 
there any control within NBW over how graphics are interpreted by the 
printer?

The scan is at 300x300 dpi.  The fax uses 200x200.  I've discovered 
that programs are strangely inconsistent in their handling of dpi to 
pixels and hence to virtual inches, but Corel PhotoHouse, which came 
with WordP, knows the physical size as well as the dpi, and when I used 
it to revise the image to 200x200, NBW simply read it as a smaller, but 
equally distorted and truncated, image (the truncation is not caused by 
the Frame Area border, since a) it is correct when the Laser Printer is 
the printer and b) even the smaller image is truncated).

Can anybody provide enlightenment or suggestions?
