Super Group 3 fax machines, including the new F-360, save time and money by shortening all three components of fax transmission: Handshaking, page transmission and retraining.

Super Group 3

Faster fax, three ways:

The history of fax is a story of continuing improvement and innovation...

Group 3, the current standard for worldwide fax, has been modified repeatedly to improve performance and expand features. In fact, this constant improvement -- accomplished while maintaining compatibility with every other Group 3 fax machine -- is one of the major reasons for fax’s amazing success.

In the past, Group 3 improvements focused on making modems faster, with valuable results. Within the Group 3 standards, for example, ITU increased modem speeds from 4800 to 9600 bps, and then to 14.4 Kbps.

Now, the most exciting of these new developments is Super Group 3 communication, a new international standard that allows transmission and reception at up to 33.6 Kbps and uses fax handshaking techniques (called v.8 protocols in the fax industry) to further reduce transmission times.

Super Group 3 fax machines, including Muratec's new F-320 and F-360, save time and money by shortening all three components of fax transmission: Handshaking, page transmission and retraining.

By focusing on all three phases of fax transmission, Super Group 3 fax machines provide dramatically faster transmissions when communicating with other Super G3 units.

Development of the Super Group 3 standards is a great reason to consider purchasing a new fax machine, in fact, particularly in applications requiring high-volume long-distance communication. While Super G3 is relatively new development, fax manufacturers from around the world are embracing it for their high-volume units, and more than 1 million Super Group 3 units will be sold in the United States in the 2000.
