Fax Q

At Eternal Breeze – Racing & Wheels we value every document we send or receive. Fax is still the backbone of many industries, from invoicing and contracts to medical imaging. To guarantee that every page arrives in crisp, error‑free form, we’ve adopted the Fax Quality (FAX Q) methodology. This page explains what FAX Q is, why it matters, how we measure it, and what our quality scores mean.

What is Fax Quality (FAX Q)?

FAX Q is a standardized, numeric quality score that summarizes the performance of a fax device or system. It’s calculated from a battery of tests that look at everything from line latency and error rates to visual sharpness and character recognition accuracy. A FAX Q score of 85 % or higher is considered “excellent,” 70 %–84 % is “good but needs improvement,” and below 70 % requires corrective action.

Key Metrics and How They’re Measured

  1. Latency and Throughput – how fast a page travels from scanner to printer.
  2. Error Rates – bit‑error rate (BER), packet‑loss for IP, and character‑recognition error.
  3. Visual Quality – a human examiner checks readability and edge sharpness.
  4. Composite Score – a weighted sum of the above, expressed as a percentage.

Standards We Follow

  • ITU‑T Recommendation Q.1000 – core methodology for testing and certification.
  • ISO 3094/3095 – test charts and error‑rate calculations.
  • IEEE 802.3 & RFC 4578 – ensure underlying network infrastructure supports T.38.

How We Achieve FAX Q Certification

  1. Configure device (analog, digital, or IP).
  2. Run ISO test charts on a controlled line.
  3. Collect scanner, encoder, receiver, and printer data.
  4. Apply calculation algorithms to get pixel, contrast, and character error rates.
  5. Compute the composite FAX Q score.
  6. Submit score and logs to certifying body.

Why It Matters for Our Customers

  • Contracts & Invoices – high FAX Q reduces re‑transmissions.
  • Legal & Regulatory – provides audit‑ready proof of document integrity.
  • Healthcare Imaging – ensures diagnostic‑grade image fidelity.
  • Archival & Preservation – guarantees faithful reproduction for long‑term storage.
  • Secure Fax Over IP (T.38) – maintains quality while adding encryption.

Future Outlook

As analog lines dwindle, we’re moving to secure fax over IP. FAX Q continues to evolve, adding AI‑based error‑recovery checks and tighter encryption compliance. Your faxed documents will stay as sharp and reliable as ever.
