High speed facsimile communication system

摘要

A high-speed G3 facsimile communication system for shortening the time required for procedure control performed before transmission of image data is started, a quiescent time intervening between the connection of a receiver equipment to the transmission line and the starting of sending the control procedure signal CED is utilized for sending out a newly provided procedure shortening signal to the receiver equipment, and upon receiving a response of the receiver equipment indicating that the receiver is capable of communicating in an optional mode other than G3 mode, the sender station sends subsequently the requisite control procedure signal from the high-speed modem thereof.
