METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADAPTING A PRINTER INTO AN AUTONOMOUS FACSIMILE APPARATUS

摘要

The device serves to adapt a printer to an autonomous facsimile transmission apparatus. It comprises line interface for transmitting and receiving data conveyed via a telephone line; a printing interface; an input interface for entering data derived from at least one external digital device; a coder/decoder connected to the line interface for respectively encoding and decoding data derived respectively from the input interface and from the line interface. Data derived from the input interface either towards the line interface is routed via the coder/encoder or towards the printing interface. Data derived from the line interface is routed towards the printing interface.
