Abstract

The receiver of a facsimile system includes a modulator for generating a signal for transmission to a remote transmitting location to identify a characteristic of the receiver. The signal from the receiver varies between a first frequency which is contiguous with and immediately precedes a second frequency. By utilizing different first frequencies to characterize different types of receivers, the transmitter at the remote location is able to identify the type of receiver including, for example, the demodulating capabilities of the receiver.
