Advantages of Computer-Based Faxing

Computer-based faxing (CBF) allows PC users to send and receive faxes using graphic and text files. Advantages of computer-based fax include:

CBF generally provides a higher quality document than the traditional fax machine. With CBF, the computer can convert the document into an image without degrading the sharpness, which can occur with the scanners in fax machines. This conversion improves the faxed image's appearance.

CBF is more convenient to use than fax machines, especially for documents created or stored in computer systems. It is easier to send a fax directly from the computer than to print a copy of the document and manually send it from a fax machine.

CBF can monitor the progress of the outgoing fax transmission, and give you status on each transmission depending on the outcome of the call (i.e., sent, busy, failed, etc.).

Computer-based fax saves valuable time and effort. The name and fax numbers of recipients only need to be entered once in the computer. Then, any time you want to send a document to someone whose "fax address" is stored in the computer, you can easily select the name in the computer instead of re-entering the phone number into the fax machine. This feature is especially useful when sending out multiple copies of documents; no more standing at the fax machine sending faxes one at a time.
