36、tandards for Office Facsimile Standards for office type fax started in October 1966 with RS-328, generated by Committee TR-29 on Facsimile Equip- ment and Systems of the Electronics Industry Association IA). This standard is obsolete and TR-29 now represents the U.S. through the State Department in

37、CCIT (Interna- tional Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee) activities on facsimile. The CCITT completed standards for Group 1 fax in 1968, Group 2 in 1976, Group 3 in 1980, and Group 4 in 1984. These standards are updated every four years after issuance to correspond with the four year CC

38、ITT cycle.

44、mber calling. The document may be sent to an alternate fax machine if the fax machine originally called is in use. Automatic background control (ABC). When sending a page, the same results are obtained for gray or colored backgrounds as for white. The ABC circuit adjusts the background signal level

45、to be the same as white before digitizing it to black/white. This saves the operator from trying to guess the proper setting: Automatic cutter. This very desirable feature cuts the received pages and stacks them in the receive tray. Without a cutter, a long banner of paper spills on the floor if doc

46、uments are received while the fax machine is unattended. The time saved can easily pay for the extra cost. If, however, the fax pageis torn off for immediate use as received, a cutter is probably not needed. Automatic dialing. The phone numbers of fax machines frequently called can be stored in memo

47、ry and used for sending fax transmissions by pressing one or two buttons. Automatic disconnection. The fax machine automatically disconnects from the phone line after the last page is sent or after a page sent is not received properly. This keeps the fax line open when the fax is not in use. Automat

48、ic document feeder (ADF). A tray is provided to hold and automatically feed the documents to be sent. It is not necessary to hand feed one page at a time or to wait at the fax machine while the pages are sent. Five page capacity is common on very small fax machines, and 30 pages on full size fax mac

49、hines. Automatic reception. The Group 3 fax machine can be left with power always on, ready to receive documents 24 hours a day. Automatic redial. If the called fax machine is busy, it is called again in five or ten minutes. Automatic retransmission. Pages not received successfully can be automatically resent from memory. Book scanning mode. This feature allows a book to be placed on the glass plate top of the fax machine and scanned. Broadcasting. Documents stored in memory can be sent sequentially to many different loca- tions. Delayed sending can be set up to use lower night tele
