Abstract

Software(4) is used for collecting the names and addresses of the sender and intended recipients(s) of a fax. The addresses may contain both numeric and alphabetic characters in a variety of forms. They are printed in a binary matrix on one or more 'Address Pages' which, together with a paper Document (6), are transmitted from Fax Machine (7) to Control Computer (12) where they are stored as Fax Image File (15). Extraction Software (16), extracts the data from the binary matrix. The resulting addresses are used by the Control Software (32) to transmit to each recipient the Document File (18), representing Document (6), using transmission software appropriate to the type of recipient address. Encryption Software (27) may be used to ensure privacy of the contents of Document (6) during transmission. Receipt confirmations are provided to the sender if requested.
