Faxing From Your Computer

Click here for some insider tips on Internet marketing!

We have met many customers who still do not know that they can send and receive fax from their computers.  Yes you can!  Send and receive from even a regular fax machine!

Consider you type a letter in Microsoft Word and would like to fax it out.  If you fax from your computer, you don't need to print it out and manually insert into your regular fax machine.  It's convenient!

Moreover, you can specify more than one recipients and the computer will "broadcast" your fax.  Many fax software, such as WinFax, also have ready-made attractive fax cover pages for you to choose.  You can even design your own!

Your computer can also be used to receive fax.  When there is an incoming fax, the fax program will automatically receive it.  It can be displayed on the screen.  If you want, you can print it out.

Some people are also confused about the charges if faxing is done from computer.  Sorry but the normal phone charges apply.  This means that if you fax to a local number, your local rate applies.  And if you fax to another country, long-distance charges apply.

With the quick development of technology, it is already possible that you can use Internet to fax.  This will reduce the charges, just like how Internet telephony (voice over IP) has reduced the long-distance charges.  A few countries already have such set up.  Refer to http://www.efax.com for more information on one of the solutions out there.
