Abstract
The described system and procedure provides fax delivery services to a user that only has convenient access to a single-function networked printer device. To accomplish this, the system receives a facsimile sent to a telephone number. Responsive to receiving the facsimile, the facsimile is converted from a fax data format to a printable data format that is compatible with a printer device. Next, the converted facsimile is wrapped in a network transfer protocol language such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol to form a Web Page. Next, a Universal Resource Locator (URL) is identified that corresponds to the telephone number used to send the facsimile to the system. The URL identifies an embedded web server in a printer. Next, the Web page containing the converted facsimile is communicated to the identified embedded web server for printing by the printer.
