Abstract
The present invention is a system incorporating a modem in an xerographic machine, thereby enabling external data communication with a remote system, while concurrently executing normal xerographic control operations. Specifically, the reprographic features of the xerographic machine are fully enabled during communication with an external or host system. In addition, a means is provided to reset only the communication hardware and software within the system, without impacting the xerographic functionality of the system.
