Although a great number of fax machines have been replaced with advancing technology, there are still fax machines out there, which means it’s still important to know how to use one. They are relatively simple machines to use. If you are sending a fax, it is important to make sure the fax machine is plugged in and is also connected to a phone jack. Next, make sure the fax machine is turned on. Make sure you have the correct number for the destination of the fax. Also, a good thing to keep in mind is that most companies require you to send a cover sheet along with the documents, just to ensure the fax ends up in the hands of the appropriate people.

A cover sheet is normally a sheet with the following information: * The name of the person who is to receive the fax. * The fax number of the person * The number of pages, including the cover sheet * The person sending the fax (you) * The fax number you are faxing from Once you have your cover sheet and the documents you are faxing, you are ready to fax. You should lay all of your documents on the top tray of the fax machine. Usually, these documents should be laid face down. You then can dial the fax number of the person you are sending the documents to. Keep in mind that some machines require you to dial a 1 before the number, and in some cases, your company will require you to dial a 9 then 1. It is important to check with someone before faxing regarding which way your company requires you to dial. The fax machine will then take the papers in and begin scanning your documents. You will hear a series of tones. This will indicate your fax machine “talking” to the other fax machine. You should receive a confirmation telling you that your fax was received by the other machine. You have now sent a fax.

Although you may not use a fax machine every day, some offices still rely heavily on the technology for sending documents. It can be a good skill to have.
