ABSTRACT:
A method and system for the transmission of non-facsimile format data between conventional facsimile units operating under CCITT protocols includes auxiliary input and output systems, such as floppy disc read/write units for the i/o of the non-facsimile data. The transmitting unit includes circuitry which decouples the conventional scanning-based input system and substitutes in its place the input system for the non-facsimile data, while the receiver unit includes analysis circuitry which decouples the conventional printer output circuitry and substitutes in its place the output system for the non-facsimile data. During the handshake communication which precedes a data transfer session the receiving unit transmits a code which advises the transmitting unit that it is capable of the receipt of non-facsimile data. The transmitting unit then permits non-facsimile data to be accepted, and advises the receiving unit that such a transmission is to be made. The auxiliary i/o systems are engaged and the non-facsimile format data is transmitted, preferably in a G3 ECM mode. The receiving unit may include virus detection software to check the received data before it can be accessed by a user.
