Your question lacks detail so the following is general information.
It depends on the document and where it needs to be legally binding. Faxed documents are becoming more and more common and if they need to be used in court a faxed signature may be vulnerable depending on the issues. An original signature is always preferable. Some land records offices will not accept a faxed document for recording unless it is an exhibit to an originally signed document.
Regarding legal documents in general there is no general rule. Good business dictates that if faxed documents are to be relied upon and the intent is for parties to be bound by those documents a separate statement to that effect should be made part of the package and clearly expresses in the documents.
