After a few seconds exchanging pleasantries (handshaking), the machines decide to get
down to the business of the call: sending and receiving a fax document.
A fax document is one or more sheets of paper which have been placed in the
transmitting (sending or TX) machine. As soon as the machines have finished with their
ÒintroductionsÓ, the document begins to move through the transmitting machine where
it is read and converted to a data signal, exactly as in a copier. The difference here is that
the print mechanism of the copying process is not located in the same machine as the
reading mechanism. It is several miles, or even several thousand miles, away, and prints
the data signals which arrive over the telephone line in the form of tones.
As far as it goes, this description of the fax process is accurate, and should be kept in
mind whenever using any fax machine.
