ABSTRACT:
The information station uses a computer for receiving, storing and transmitting digital electronic signals which represent digitized information corresponding to printed text or graphics. A facsimile transceiver is used to digitize the printed information and also used to reprint a hard copy from digital electronic signals received from the computer. The computer has a serial interface including a synchronous communication interface and modem for communicating with the facsimile transceiver. A switching circuit, responsive to the computer, switches between three switching states to selectively connect to modem to an external telephone line or to connect the facsimile transceiver to an external telephone line or to connect the modem and facsimile transceiver in order to implement a local information station mode. Digital electronic signals stored in the computer may be off-loaded to a video tape recorder by means of a video interface circuit.
