A fax is an office machine that allows graphics to be transmitted using electrical signals. Fax is used both in offices, when working with a large number of paper documents, and at home. An alternative to faxing is electronic transmission of scanned documents. When choosing a fax machine, there are several factors to consider.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the main criteria for choosing a fax is print quality.
When using fax for business purposes (for example, sending documents), you should give preference to faxes equipped with inkjet printers. The fax installed in the office is used very often, the printing itself, as a rule, does not require special quality.
If you need to transfer high quality images, such as photographs, it is best to pay attention to faxing with a laser printer.
Step 2
As a rule, a fax is not a simple device for transmitting images, like a telephone, it is equipped with related capabilities. A fax machine may have an answering machine, phone book, auto-redial, etc. and used as a telephone.
Step 3
An important criterion for choosing a fax is the speed of its printing, it depends on the printer with which it is equipped. If time is of the essence, then fax with a laser printer is your choice. Faxes with inkjet printers have a slower print speed.
Step 4
Some faxes have built-in memory. They save paper when you don't need to print all incoming faxes, so the more memory the better.
