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
the remote location. A fax unit transmits audio
ones over the same telephone lines you use for
conversation.
The facsimile process involves three basic steps:
1.
2.
Reading and converting the document into
electronic signals (audio tones).
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.
