How to send a Fax from PC.

Last Updated on March 27, 2020 by Anirudh Ray 2 Comments

Although we don’t get to hear of the word ‘fax‘ very often nowadays, fax is still widely used for communicating official documents. People are rarely using fax machines after the feature of faxing has been incepted in our very own PCs – a huge money saver. Sending a fax from PC is very simple. All you need to do it set some things right and off you go to send away your fax from PC.

Firstly, you will need a fax modem – a hardware add on that will help you send fax over a standard phone line. Fax modems are of two types; internal and external. An internal fax modem is plugged directly onto the mother board which makes your PC send a fax at any moment provided you connect it to your phone line. An external fax modem is a small device that can be connected using a USB or serial port. A fax modem will be available at most of the computer stores.

In case you want to send a fax from your office, see if there is a fax server available. A fax server is a computer equipped with multiple fax modems and is used only for faxing purpose. If  there is one, all you need to do is connect your PC to the fax server and send your fax right away; you will not have to buy any fax modems.
