Fax handling system and method

摘要

A system and method for detecting interruptions that occur during the process of sending images of a set of source pages via facsimile transmission and determining that two separate transmissions are associated with each other. An initial fax transmission is received, and its interruption is automatically determined. The initial transmission is automatically matched with a subsequent transmission. A method for receiving one or more documents transmitted from a user via facsimile transmission which identifies and corrects an error in the document(s) received includes receiving one or more document via facsimile transmission and identifying the existence of any of a predetermined set of errors in the transmission. The identified errors are corrected through subsequent transmissions and/or manual user intervention in response to a logical set of predetermined options.
