Fax From Computer
by Matt Gerchow
Twenty to twenty-five years ago, a company needed to have a facsimile machine if it planned to send out and receive copies of documents, without using the mail system. Back then, no one had become familiar with the Internet. A phone line provided any business with the only way to relay signals from or to a facsimile machine.
How each worker can get faxed papers at his or her desk
Incoming signals developed when a client or customer made use of the companys appropriate contact number. In order to send out information, using the same line, an office worker had to walk from his or her cubicle to the bulky machine that could send out faxes. He or she could not fax from computer equipment in that same cubicle.
How faxing jobs can get done, while employees remain seated at their desks
Today each of an offices workers can get faxes as attachments, which are part of email messages. Each can work more efficiently, thanks to the service provided by a special agency. That agency coordinates the process that allows certain employees to fax from computer. Those men and women send and receive faxes using the Internet.
Each of them follows the same procedure used for sending out and receiving emails. Each of them relies on the fact that an email can have an attachment. The service provider arranges for each faxed document to become the attached part of an email message. Once received and downloaded, the material on that paper can be printed out.
The ink on that printed sheet does not fade as quickly as the ink on paper from a facsimile machine. Moreover the decision to have employees fax from computer can save company money. It eliminates the job of ordering special paper, because faxed material can go on any sheet used with a printer.
