FAX Transmission Technology

The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of facsimile transmission (FAX) transmission technology, and of its applications in contemporary society. The results of this research are presented in separate discussions related to (1) the history and background of the technology, (2) a description of the technology, (3) contemporary suppliers of the technology, (4) applications of the technology, (5) advantages and disadvantages associated with applications of the technology, and (6) current market trends for FAX machines.

Recently, FAX technology has been adapted for use with microcomputers. Facsimile machines provide a capability to transmit perfect reproductions of documents and other printed materials over telecommunications systems.1 Facsimile transmission in commercial applications dates to the early1940s.2 At that time, and for many years afterward, the expense and difficulties associated with the use of the technology, together with relatively poor image quality, limited the use of the technology to news wire services, and to some military applications.3

In the late1970s, however, significant innovations in facsimil...
