G-2APPENDIX G: FAX INFORMATION FOR PROGRAMMERS

Fax Mode Flow

Many facsimile software products use software flow control when the

Control Setting

modem is in Fax mode. Throughout our documentation, we recommend

 

that you use hardware flow control for Data mode (factory setting).

 

However, to allow compatibility with software products that use software

 

flow control by default, 3Com fax modems automatically change to

 

software flow control when entering Fax mode.

 

 

FCC Notice

FCC part 68, rules regarding fax operation, has been amended as follows:

 

Telephone facsimile machines identification of the sender of the message:

 

It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to use a

 

computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone

 

facsimile machine unless such a message clearly contains, in a margin at

 

the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the

 

transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the

 

business, other entity, or individual sending the message and the

 

telephone number of the sending machine or of such business, other

 

entity, or individual. Telephone facsimile machines manufactured on and

 

after December 20, 1992 must clearly mark such identifying information

 

on each transmitted page.
