However the operation of a fax machine requires the lease or purchase of such a machine, plus the expense of paper, toner, an additional phone line, repairs and maintenance. It is not environmentally friend, with discard cartridges and other pollution. The machine also takes up valuable office space.

The method is ground-breaking because faxes received from a traditional fax machine, are routed through device to email servers and converted from fax into an email format. The email is stamped with a date, time and an identifying receiving number. The original fax document is attached as a .tiff image or PDF file. A Windows Operating System is required to view these files. In the same way, faxes transmitted via email are converted into a fax format by the server and passed on to the recipient's fax in the original format dispatched from a traditional fax machine. A confirmation is sent to the sender's email inbox and doubles as a receipt (record keeping).

Since no other hardware or computer programs are needed in order to use this technology, your business' normal email and Internet connections and programs are used to their full ability. Using this method, a fax can be accessed and delivered via a computer anywhere on the globe. Best of all, there's no limit as to how many faxes you can get.

The fax to e-mail method is quicker than normal fax machines, sending them at the same sped as your online connection, which means a more effective transfer of information. The person sending the fax never has to wait for a fax signal and things like paper jams are something you never have to face again. And multiple page faxes are send instantaneously as well. In addition, this method is more secure, since faxes are delivered right to the recipient's email inbox.

The fax to email collaboration is the ideal communication tool. Coupled with free installation, set up, training and support creates one efficient, cost-effective solution to business communication issues.

Another plus for the recipient is given a special number to send faxes and there is no receiving fee. However, the sender is charged a small fee for the delivery of the fax. Hence, this pay-as-you-need feature makes it a very cost effective system. Overall fax to mail technology is a more efficient system to use for transmitting faxes.
