A MODERN DOCUMENT EXCHANGER


Document exchange through facsimile (popularly known as fax) systems is emerging as a major application of telecommunication due to its speed of transmission. A telephone connection is necessary for operating it. The fax machine is capable of transmitting and receiving printed matter, which may include graphics, drawings, pictures, handwritten texts etc. This is highly suitable for business and official purposes which deal mostly with paper documents.

There are two types of fax, systems- the photographic and the document. In the photographic fax, black and white, as well as gray level information is transmitted and printed. Typically there are 8 and 16 levels that can be recognized by the system. The document system handles only black and white levels. Generally the document facsimile is more popular than the p
hotographic system.
