Abstract
A request command is transmitted from a computing device to a facsimile device to request function list data of the facsimile device, representing adjustable functions, possible function settings, and/or current function settings of the facsimile device. The facsimile device receives the request command and responds by sending a description of its functions, corresponding possible function settings, and/or current function settings as function list data to the computing device. The function list data and settings are displayed at the computing device when a remote setup routine is executed, and a user can identify the functions and function setting options of the connected facsimile, and set function settings by an input device. The computing device sends the desired function settings to the facsimile device, and the facsimile device changes its function settings according to those received.
