A: My personal preference is internet fax. It's cheaper (since you don't have to pay for the equipment, paper, toner, etc) And easier to use when you're on the road. You also don't need a dedicated phone line, which is a HUGE plus for me.

B: I choose neither. I prefer to using fax software. I have using Joyfax server for one year and I always think that it is safer to fax with my own fax number. I am afraid that lots of internet fax service offers the fax numbers that have been used by other people.

If the fax means a lot to you, just consider some fax software.

If you just want to send one or two faxes, the internet fax service seems more convenient.

C: Here are a few more reasons why you should use a secure Internet fax service rather than a fax machine:

  • Incoming faxes do not sit on publically-available fax machines.
  • Fax machines print out on paper which could get into the wrong hands if not properly destroyed or securely hid away.
  • Anyone can print out additional copies of faxes on a fax machine.
  • With secure internet fax notifications are sent to recipients inbox with link to that specific fax.
  • With some secure internet fax services users to have a complete end-to-end audit trail of all fax activity.

Full form of FAX machine?

Fax is a shortened version of facsimile. A facsimile machine is a combination copier-telephone system. That is, you put a document in the fax machine, enter a phone number, push a start button and the machine dials the number entered (it should be a number of another fax machine) and makes a copy of the document on the receiving fax machine. Fax machines are currently becoming obsolete because most computer printers are also scanners that can put a document placed on it directly into a computer file that can be sent to another party via email.
