First Claim
1. A method for a computer system for transmitting a facsimile or scanned image to an electronic destination address, comprises:
- receiving the facsimile or scanned image, wherein the facsimile or scanned image comprises a digitized representation of an instruction page, wherein the digitized representation of the instruction page includes an optical representation of the electronic destination address, and wherein the digitized representation of the instruction page is encoded in a first format;
determining the electronic destination address from the optical representation of the electronic destination address, wherein the electronic destination address need not be known to the computer system before receiving the facsimile or scanned image;
converting at least the digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in the first format to a digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in a second format;
determining additional service provider data in response to the facsimile or the scanned image; and
transmitting the additional service provider data and a transmission to the electronic destination address, wherein the transmission is determined in response to the digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in the second format.

11. A method for sending a transmission to an electronic destination address, comprises:
-
receiving a transmission cover page;
entering a plurality of text entries on the transmission cover page to form a filled-in transmission cover page, wherein the plurality of text entries includes the electronic destination address;
sending a digitized transmission in a transmission format to a transmission server, wherein the digitized transmission is determined in response to the filled-in transmission cover page in the transmission format;
wherein the filled-in transmission page is converted into a storage format;
wherein a transmission is sent to the electronic destination address in response to the additional service provider data and the filled-in transmission page in the storage format;
wherein the electronic destination address is optically derived from the transmission cover page; and
wherein the transmission server need not know the electronic destination address prior to receiving the digitized transmission. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for transmitting a facsimile or scanned image to an electronic destination address, comprises:
-
a receiver portion configured to receive the facsimile or scanned image, wherein the facsimile or scanned image comprises a digitized representation of an instruction page, wherein the digitized representation of the instruction page includes an optical representation of the electronic destination address, and wherein the digitized representation of the instruction page is encoded in a first format;
a optical detection portion coupled to the receiver portion, wherein the optical detection portion is configured to determine the electronic destination address from the optical representation of the electronic destination address, wherein the electronic destination address need not be known to the system before receiving the facsimile or scanned image;
a converting portion coupled to the receiver portion, wherein the converting portion is configured to convert at least the digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in the first format to a digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in a second format;
a transmitting portion coupled to the converting portion and to the optical detection portion, wherein the transmitting portion is configured to send a transmission to the electronic destination address in response to the digitized representation of the instruction page encoded in the second format and service provider data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
