Abstract

A data encoding system having means for generating decodable data representing a facsimile number to which a document containing an image is to be sent via facsimile, a rasterizer for rasterizing the image of the document and the decodable data to generate raster data, a decoder for decoding the data after the decodable data is rasterized by the rasterizer to determine the facsimile number to which the document is to be sent, and facsimile means for sending the raster data to the facsimile number determined by the decoder. The decoder comprises a permanent memory having stored coding data which includes character data representing a plurality of characters and a unique binary code associated with each of the characters. The decodable data generator comprises a permanent memory having font data stored therein for representing each of a plurality of characters. The font data comprises, for each of the characters, a first data portion representing a human-readable representation of the character and a second data portion representing a decodable representation of the character.
