ABSTRACT:
A fax machine having improved functions. Information is sent in a batch mode. A preferred embodiment of this invention separates the printer and processor so that a single printer can serve multiple fax machines. The fax is sent in a random orientation and this orientation is rotated prior to sending. Security aspects are also handled by storing all pages in memory, taking a picture of an area when faxing and taking a picture of an area based on an alarm mode. A color embodiment is also described which send faxes in color, including handshaking modes for determining whether color should be sent. Another embodiment of the invention straightens the lines of faxes prior to sending. Multiple modes of transmission are described. Finally, a power down mode is described, specially optimized for fax machines and their problems.
