ABSTRACT:
A work group fax device and method of utilizing such a device are disclosed wherein a user may control when faxes are printed. A user of the fax machine, after leaving work for the night, might not want incoming faxes to be printed until he returns to work in the morning. The user may set all incoming faxes to be saved (accumulated) in memory in the fax machine. The user may later command the fax machine to print the accumulated faxes. Also described are password protection and the ability to set times when accumulation should begin and end. A user may engage and disengage fax holding from any permitted LAN workstation or from the fax machine's front panel.
