Chapter 6 – Fax Class 1 and Class 1.0 Commands

Fax I/O Processing

The fax I/O interface supports asynchronous serial and parallel interfaces. The character format is 8 bit data, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Start and stop elements are removed from the transmit data and added to the receive data. Both transmit and receive data are buffered. Flow control using XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS is provided.

Unique control character strings are identified, filtered, or reinserted into the I/O data stream. These control characters and their resultant action are described below.
