| 摘要 | A multi-purpose public facsimile transmission terminal otherwise known as a public fax terminal, employs a stand alone kiosk with a touch activated computer display color monitor presentation, advising the user of the operational steps to take in the use of the machine. The user initiates operation by inserting a credit card in a card reader and following the instructions presented on the monitor. A scanner mounted in the kiosk reads a document to be faxed and stores the image in the memory of a computer. Faxed transmissions are received and sent over telephone lines by a fax modem in the computer. Copies of faxed documents are provided by a plain paper laser printer, which also has the capability of providing copies of any scanned documents or any documents in the computer memory. The computer memory presents video advertisements and has stored business and message forms which can be retrieved and used as desired. An interface connection open to the exterior of the terminal connects to a computer such as a laptop computer, provided by the user to download and fax information in the memory of the laptop computer. The terminal may also be used to retrieve documents from a remote data base system. | ||||||
