Abstract
A facsimile/email communication system for providing a user the ability to send emails from any standalone facsimile machine. The system does not require any additional hardware or software to be installed on equipment being used by a sender. The system further provides a user the ability to logon to a centralized web server and send facsimiles to any standalone fax machine. According to one aspect, the system receives a facsimile from a facsimile machine. The facsimile includes an email cover page having the email address of the intended recipient of the facsimile. The email address is extracted from the email cover page by optical character recognition. The facsimile is then converted into an email with the proper email format. The email is then transmitted to the extracted email address.
