A digital fax can be two things:

1) a fax sent through the ITU T.38 standard for fax over the internet. This is a communication standard that was developed to let two fax machines communicate over the internet (IP) instead of using a phone connection.

2) a fax sent through an online fax service - it works very much like webmail service, but for faxes - you can send and receive from a web-based inbox through a computer or mobile phone. It doesn't use paper or electricity and it can go to anybody's email. It also doesn't need a fax line as the services are performed by special providers that give you applications for faxing.

What are the components of a Fax Machine?

A typical fax machine is nothing more than a scanner, printer and an outdated analogue modem working together to waste paper, time, money and electricity. It works by converting all the paper documents in the digital format and then reconverts digital message into paper format. The fax machine uses an analogue modem to convert the digital image into sounds and transmit over phone lines. The modem plays the noise over the phone lines and on the other side is another fax machine with the similar kind of modem which listens to the voice, converts them again into a digital document and prints it out on the paper. Every faxed document goes through this epic journey and in the process of it becomes digital four times, paper format twice and sound once. With the onset of digital age, fax email has changed the entire scenario in communication transmission technology. High speed fax email is a reality now, and has successfully introduced plenty of changes in the way professionals interact with others, effectively and efficiently by speeding up their work-flow.

Bryce, Fax machines ?

Bryce, Fax machines are analog devices and they way that they communicate requires an analog signal on the phone line. As you have recently upgraded to digital phone lines, the fax machine by itself will not work. You can contact Sprint to see if they will provide an adapter to allow the analog signal to work. Another alternative would be to purchase a digital fax machine. Thank you for your question. If you found this answer helpful, please click the Accept button!
