.fin File Contents

The .fin file contains information about the files received by i-fax.com.

Field Name	Description
CallerID	The caller id of the fax machine that the document was faxed from. If the document was not faxed or there was no caller id then the field is set to "Unknown".
TransID	The unique identifier encoded in the barcode on the document. This is the same unique id used in the returned file names.
Pages	The count of pages processed for the document.
Orientation	"0" if the document was scanned or faxed with the barcode right side up, or "1" if the barcode was upside down. When a document is faxed or scanned in upside down, the i-fax.com server rotates them before sending them on for ease of handling.

A two-page document encoded with a "unique identifier" of 639787744 that is faxed upside down would have the following in the .fin file:

CallerID=Unknown
TransID=63978744
Pages=2
Orientation=1
