1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, a facsimile or scanned image, wherein the facsimile or scanned image comprises a digitized representation of at least a transmission page, wherein the digitized representation of the transmission page includes an optical representation of an electronic destination address, and wherein the digitized representation of the transmission page is encoded in a first format comprising a facsimile format;
determining, by the computer system, the electronic destination address from the optical representation of the electronic destination address using optical character recognition techniques;
combining, by the computer system, a digitized representation of at least a portion of the transmission page with a selected graphics template to form a digitized representation of a composite page;
formatting, by the computer system, the digitized representation of the composite page into a second format;
determining, by the computer system, service provider data in response to the facsimile or the scanned image; and
transmitting, by the computer system, the service provider data and the digitized representation of the composite page in the second format to the electronic destination address.

Abstract
A method for a computer system includes receiving a facsimile including a digitized transmission page including an optical representation of the electronic destination address encoded in a facsimile format, determining the electronic destination address from the optical representation of the electronic destination address, combining the transmission page with a graphics template to form a composite document, formatting the composite document into a second format, determining additional service provider data in response to the facsimile, and transmitting the additional service provider data and the composite document in the second format to the electronic destination address.

21. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code executable by a computer system, the program code comprising:
-
code that directs the computer system to receive a facsimile or scanned image, wherein the facsimile or scanned image comprises a digitized representation of at least a transmission page, wherein the digitized representation of the transmission page includes an optical representation of an electronic destination address, and wherein the digitized representation of the transmission page is encoded in a first format comprising a facsimile format; code that directs the computer system to determine the electronic destination address from the optical representation of the electronic destination address using optical character recognition techniques; code that directs the computer system to combine a digitized representation of at least a portion of the transmission page with a selected graphics template to form a composite document; code that directs the computer system to format the digitized representation of the composite document into a second format; code that directs the computer system to determine service provider data in response to the facsimile or the scanned image; and code that directs the computer system to transmit the service provider data and the composite document in the second format to the electronic destination address. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
