Abstract :
The authors investigated the effect of slips on two facsimile machines and found that a slip can cause a maximum of eight missing lines. At the maximum this creates a missing 0.08 inches of vertical space using a vertical resolution of approximately 100 lines per inch. The receiving facsimile machine does not report these errors to the user. The authors also formulated a test pattern to measure the missing vertical space. As a result of these investigations, the importance of network synchronization for facsimile has become evident.<>
