Facsimile machine and method of transmission of digital data or alphanumeric used with the facsimile machine óoeuvre.

摘要

The system includes a subscriber with a series of bar codes which request business information. The bar code is read and fed to a central processor (20) which inputs the digital signals to a coder (22) where the signals are coded according to a predetermined protocol. The coded signals are passed via the telephone network (R) to a remote server (S). The server selects the required information and sends it back to the facsimile machine. Signals pass via a modem (23) to the central processor. The message is then sent to be printed (25) on the subscriber facsimile machine or received as a verbal message (13).
