How does sending a fax work?

Sending a fax is a method of transmitting scanned printed material (both text and images) over a telephone line from one fax machine to another. The process begins when you place the original document into the sender’s fax machine, either in the automatic document feeder or on the flatbed scanner, typically face down. After dialing the recipient’s fax number, the sending fax machine establishes a connection by dialing the number over a regular telephone line. Once the connection is confirmed, the fax machine scans the physical document using an internal scanner, converting the visual information into a digital bitmap image. This image is then compressed using specific fax protocols (such as ITU-T Group 3 standards) to reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent, speeding up transmission. The compressed data is converted into audio tones, similar to modem communication, and transmitted as signals through the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. The receiving fax machine demodulates these signals back into digital data, decompresses it, and then prints out the reconstructed image on paper. If multiple pages are sent, the process repeats for each page. After the transmission is complete, the sending machine often prints a confirmation report indicating whether the fax was sent successfully or if any errors occurred during the process. Fax transmission is reliable and secure because it uses direct telephone lines rather than the internet, reducing the risk of hacking or interception. Although email and digital file sharing are common today, faxing is still preferred for certain official or legal documents requiring signatures or formal submission.
