Fax Operation - ZyXEL Communications 2864 Series User Manual

The 2864 series universal modems support the Group 3 sending and receiving fac-
simile function. For normal fax operation you must connect the modem to a com-
puter, usually a PC. The computer is the input/output device for the fax function.
The interface between the modem and the computer is the normal RS-232 serial
connection or the ZyXEL parallel port interface. The modem uses the same inter-
face for both data and fax applications. In fax operation, it performs protocol hand-
shaking and image data transfer, and the computer does the job of image data
creation, capturing, conversion, compression, decompression, retrieving, and storing.
