Transmission speed is for an 8 1/2" x 11" document with approximately 700 characters at
standard resolution (8 x 3.85 lines/mm) sent in high speed mode (33.6 kbps (JBIG) or 14.4 kbps
(MMR). This is only the time required to transmit the image information; the time required to send
protocol signals is not included. Actual transmission times will vary depending on the contents of
the document, the receiving machine type, and telephone line conditions.
