About The Fax Modem Sourcebook
Product description Most modems today have fax capability and come bundled with fax software, but their manuals are strangely silent about how the whole process works. This first part of this book gives a basic grounding in fax modem technology to both the novice and experienced user. It explains why fax machines are easy to set up and then work every time, but computer faxes are tricky to install and often fail to work reliably. The second part is a complete reference for technical users. From the computer hardware and system software on your desk through the modem itself to the international standards set by ANSI, the CCITT and ITU, this section brings all the relevant technical documentation together in one place. Part three shows how easy it is to write your own fax software. Full code is presented and developed for turning ordinary text into fax images and then transmitting them, as well as for receiving faxes and displaying them on screen or printing them out. A disk with full source code and many associated utilities is included.

A disk with full source code and many associated utilities is included. From the Back Cover The odds are that if you are one of the growing number of people using programmable faxes you will at least be thinking about some of the customization and adaptation features that are not possible with old plug-in-and-go fax technology. And you may find that a lot of the difficulties you have experienced are down to a pure lack of hard facts about standards and compatibilities. As well as being the only single source reference for international standards as they affect fax communications, the book contains: details of the command sets for programming the most common types of fax modem (EIA Classes 1, 2 and 2.0); an account of the TIFF specification for storing fax images; an introduction to basic fax information for communications engineers; and a fax TOOLKIT (included on disk) complete with C source code, which supports all the major fax modems and functions required for successful faxing. Wherever possible, the author provides practical programming advice and also helpful hints on how to interpret and implement the standard recommendations. This is as comprehensive a resource as you will need or find. About the Author Andrew Margolis has been developing, supporting, documenting and marketing software since 1982.
