Abstract
A portable fax machine includes a pen-based input device, having a writing pen and a writing pad, enabling a user to write documents for fax transmission on the writing pad by means of the writing pen. The input device is capable of generating data representative of the moving trace of the writing pen. An encoder transfers the data representative of the moving trace of the writing pen into fax data format. A dialer inputs the fax number of a destination to set up a connection. A fax transmission device transmits to the destination the data in the fax data format output by the encoder.
