Abstract:
1. A method for operating a facsimile mail box service subscriber apparatus comprising: discriminating whether a received facsimile message is an ECM (Error Correction Mode) compressed data or a general facsimile compressed data; detecting an error by checking an FCS (Frame Checking Sequence) when the received facsimile data is the ECM data, and by performing an MMR (Modified Modified Read) method if the received facsimile data is the general facsimile data; storing the ECM data or the general facsimile data as binary data if the error detected is below a first predetermined threshold: converting the stored binary data to frame data if the stored binary is discriminated to be ECM data or converting the stored binary data to the general facsimile compressed data if the stored binary data is discriminated to be the general facsimile compressed data; and transmitting the converted data to a facsimile terminal.
