the following program is brought to you by element14 the electronics community where you can connect and collaborate with top engineers from around the world join now at element14.com slash presents hi I'm David welcome back to the electronics inside the show where we tear down toys tools and appliances just to find out what's inside today we are going to be tearing down what is hopefully a piece of history now a fax machine so we have with us the Panasonic KX F 2700 which I think the easiest thing to do is get started so I think a fax machine especially one like this which I haven't found an exact date of when it came out I think this is either late 90s or early 2000s I think this is gonna be a very interesting one because not only have you got the the analog dial-up nature of it but it's also got a digital answer machine on it so it's gonna have some analog to digital conversion for the voice it's got printer in it obviously some mechanism for scanning I don't really know too much about it so yeah there's gonna be a lot lot going on in here clearly at the bottom we've got an optical scanner it's quite low resolution you've got a paper feed mechanism the idea being of course you put your document facedown and here it scans it through transmits it to the other end we've varying degrees of success like dial-up modem if somebody picked up the phone while you were trying to send a fax it of course failed here's your first piece of history this is thermal printer paper which was a really late development apparently thermal printing was only invented in the 1970s now the most commonplace that you would probably see thermal printing today is like receipts and things like that but it was quite popular and fax machines from the 70s up until the late 90s and the late 90s you started to see inkjet sand lasers or what was called indirect thermal printing but I think thermal printing for a fax machine was actually quite a good match the mint that you only had one consumable you had to buy and that was a roll of paper and so long as your fax machine worked it printed you didn't have to worry about buying ink or toner or emptying an overflow cartridge drum or anything like that so thank you that's quite a good idea I think it had its limitations in researching this episode I found out that actually a lot of courts won't accept thermal printer paper in evidence or anything that's got to go to archive because the thermal material that is applied to the front of this paper degrades over time and delaminates from it there are the full guts of the printer right first thing I will point out this battery container for holding your memory when you had...
