How a Fax Works

Facsimile is a system of sending printed or other graphic information from one location to another by producing a copy or “facsimile” of that information d the remote location. A fax unit transmits audio ones over the same telephone lines you use for lerson-to-person conversation.

The facsimile process involves three basic steps:

1.Reading and converting the document into electronic signals (audio tones).

2.Sending, or transmitting, the signals through a telephone system, to another fax unit.

3.Converting the received signals into a “facsimile” of the transmitted document.

This is a simplified explanation of the actual facsimile process. Although all fax units operate by this same basic process, specific operating procedures differ from unit to unit.

About Facsimile Compatibility

T h e CCITT ( C o n s u l t a t i v e C o m m i t t e e f o r International Telephone and Telegraph), which sets worldwide standards for data communication, classifies facsimile devices into three groups. The grouping is based on how a fax unit sends information, in what form, and at which speed.

To simplify, you can think of fax units as being grouped by speed: Group 1 includes 6 minute units, Group 2 includes 3 minute units, and Group 3 includes sub-minute units. These speeds refer to the amount of time it takes a fax unit to send or receive a standard business letter over the telephone lines.

Your facsimile is compatible with CCITT G3 mode units.
