	Fax History
		Facsimile transmission has been loosely defined as the means of creating an exact copy of a document at a distance.
		In principle the two machines operated in similar fashion using damp electrolytic paper as a recording medium and relied for transmission on a scanning stylus being in physical contact with the text of the message, the text being in relief form with raised lettering.
		These new machines became known as document facsimile machines and were used for transmitting handwritten, typed or printed text and drawings.

	Fax Summary
		Fax machines calculate the bits per second to reproduce the image that is being transmitted from the original facsimile to the receiving facsimile according to the bits comprised of the total amount of binary codes that identify the image scanned.
		All one has to do to operate a fax machine is place the paper to be sent into the feeder of the fax machine, dial the number of the fax machine it is to be sent to, and wait for about minute for one's friend to receive the item on his or her fax machine.
		Fax machines first became popular in Japan, where they had a clear advantage over competing technologies like the teleprinter; at the time, before the development of easy-to-use input method editors, it was faster to handwrite kanji than to type the characters.

	RFC 809 (rfc809) - UCL facsimile system
		Thus the local facsimile machine could transmit data to the computer quite happily, believing that it was actually talking to a remote facsimile machine on the other end of a telephone wire.
		The problem of transmitting a facsimile picture now appeared simple: data was taken from the facsimile machine into the computer, transmitted over the network as if it was normal computer data, and then sent from the computer to the facsimile machine at the remote end.
		This is because the the facsimile machine we were using was never intended for use on a computer; it was designed and built for use on telephone lines.

	Keyboard to facsimile machine transmission system - Patent 4918723
		A keyboard to facsimile transmission device allowing the direct imputting of a sequence of identifying signals representing alpha-numeric characters and delimiters comprising a message to be transmitted to a facsimile machine for printing thereby.
		With Group II and later facsimile transmission, however, the document is placed into a feed hopper and scanned horizontally a line at a time in the same manner as contemporary photocopy devices and at much faster speeds than the old Group I machines.
		In such case, of course, the receiving FAX machine 24 would have to be of the type which prints by a photocopy process on cut sheet paper (containing the form with blanks to be filled in) rather than of the type which prints by a thermal process on special roll paper.

	Spam Laws: Aronson v. Bright-Teeth Now (2003)
		After examining the definition of a "facsimile machine" as defined in § 227 and the legislative history of its provisions, including an analysis of the costly burdens unsolicited fax advertising places upon its recipient, the trial court ruled that the TCPA does not apply to unsolicited commercial e-mail advertisements.
		While we agree that a clear definition of a "telephone facsimile machine" is set forth in the Act, we conclude that by its terms it does not cover unsolicited commercial e-mail.
		Simply stated, a computer is not a FAX machine and a commercial e-mail message is not regulated by the terms of 47 U.S.C. The problems associated with receiving unsolicited e-mail messages, often referred to as SPAM, have not gone unnoticed by the private and public sectors and by public interest groups.

	History
		A fax machine scans an image, whether it be text or a photo, by reading a very small area of the image at a time.
		The fax machine decides whether the area it is reading is light or dark and assigns the area a number such as "0" for white and "1" for dark.
		The principle for facsimile transmission over wires was first patented as early as 1843, seven years after the invention of the electric telegraph, by Scottish psychologist Alexander Bain.

	Zvon - RFC 809 [UCL FACSIMILE SYSTEM] - SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
		The computerised facsimile system we have developed is composed of an LSI-11 micro-computer running the MOS operating system [14] with two AED62 floppy disk drives [17], a Grinnell colour display [18], a DACOM facsimile machine [16], and a VDU as the system console.
		The first goal of our computerised facsimile system is to use a computer network to transmit data between facsimile machines which are geographically separated.
		As was mentioned earlier, facsimile machines produce a large amount of data per page due to the way in which the pages are encoded.

	Law.com - Law Covers Just the Fax, Not the E-Mail
		A three-judge panel determined that a personal computer does not fall under the definition of "telephone facsimile machine" contained in the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and, therefore, declined to award damages to an e-mail user who received six unsolicited advertisements from one company.
		On appeal, Aronson argued that the act sets forth a clear definition of the term "telephone facsimile machine" and that his personal computer fell within its parameters.
		If a computer and a fax machine were thought to be the same, there would be no need to specifically include a computer among the types of sending equipment, the court concluded.
