Best Answer

When you have to fax someone.

...

A fax machine allows you to send a document to someone anywhere in the world like you were making a photocopy (usually the quality of the copy not being so good) and is almost as fast as emails. For this to work, the other person needs to have access to a fax machine too.

The person receiving your fax (a copy of your document, usually on special thin paper, often not too good quality either) will receive the document instantly. You generally send a fax when the contents and not the looks of the message matter.

For better quality and the same speed, scan your document using a scanner (most printers these days make photocopies and scan documents as well) and send it attached to an email. Then the receiver can view it and print it on standard or quality paper.

Hope this helps!

AnswerThere is a faxing technology right now that uses the internet to send and receive fax documents. This is called online fax or internet fax. Instead of using traditional phone line, fax documents are transmitted over the internet just like you are sending and receiving an email. You need to subscribe for the service in order to get an internet fax number.
