Using traditional fax machine, you have to send it again ang dial the number again. Using internet fax is just easy and forwarding emails, because fax works in internet just like an email system.
It is simply called 'FAX TONE' :)
It means that the fax machine on the other end rang but did not pick up the phone call.
Check your fax machine to find out why the message did not receive - if it is a matter of a busy signal, then the other machine may just be busy. Call to make sure you have the right fax number, and that their fax machine is operational.
Internet faxing will allow to send, leave voice mail and call forwarding.
Running a business from home today requires only a couple of phone lines with call forwarding and call waiting, a computer with e-mail and a modem, a fax machine, a copier, and office supplies.
You set the fax machine to automatically pick up the call after a number of rings. If you want to answer the call with the phone, then you would pick up the receiver to answer it.
Dedicated fax machine is the main fax machine that can be configured to where the fax will be receive and support extension fax machine.
Your question is unclear. If you have a single phone line, it can only be used for one thing at a time... you can talk on the phone, or send/receive fax data, not both (if you have "call waiting", switching from the fax to a call will disrupt the fax). If you have multiple lines, it depends on your fax machine, but in most cases you still wouldn't be able to send or receive a fax and talk on the phone at the same time. However, if you have a combination fax machine/phone, usually you CAN pick up the handset if a voice call comes in, even if the machine is set to default to fax mode.
If you connect your printer/fax combination machine to your phone line, yes, it would be your home number. Which means people that call your house will get the fax machine.
Assuming that you already own the fax machine, the only charge is the cost of the telephone call using the fax machine. If the number you are sending the fax to is a free local call, or a toll-free number, then there is no charge to send the fax from your home. If the number is not local or toll-free, you will pay the same per-minute long distance charges you would pay if you made a regular phone call from your home phone to the same number. Of course, you will also pay for the electricity to operate the fax machine, but that cost is negligible.
To answer a fax machine, you would need to do one of two things: 1) set the machine to automatically answer a call, so that it picks up after a number of rings. 2) press the "receive" button (often the green button) when the fax mahcine is ringing.
