Abstract
A system and method for viewing a fax document includes a fax device which may be configured for transmitting/receiving fax transmissions. When a transmitting fax device with a video camera and a video display transmits a fax transmission to a receiving fax device with a video camera and a video display, and the receiving fax device receives the fax transmission, the transmitting fax device controls the receiving fax device until the fax transmission ends. An image of the fax transmission may then be previewed on the transmitting fax device, the fax transmission may then be electronically released from the receiving fax device, and an image of the fax transmission may then be printed. The video camera of the receiving fax device may then scan the printed image, display the scanned printed image, and physically release the scanned printed document from the receiving fax device.
