How faxes work. Fax machines scan a document, treating the text and images as a single fixed graphic image and converting it into a bitmap. In this digital form, the information is transmitted as electrical signals through the public switched telephone network (PSTN), using a standard analog telephone line.

A fax machine scans and encodes the content of the document first before transmitting it to the receiving machine. The receiving machine will then decode the data sent. The telecopier, which is another word for a fax machine, then prints the information on paper, marking the completion of the faxing process.

Dial the fax number you want to send your document to. Press Send or Fax ? usually a large round button differently colored from the others. This will cause it to begin scanning your documents. Wait for a confirmation page to print out.

If you expect to receive faxes from a wide range of area codes and don't want the people who are sending you faxes to incur long distance charges, choose a toll-free fax number. You might also want a toll-free fax number if you live in a small town and can't find a provider with your local area code available.

It also depends on the performance of your fax line or internet connection. If you send a fax from a machine, it usually takes around 30 seconds to a minute per page. If you send a fax online, it's usually much faster ? sometimes, it's sent instantly. The type of document you send also affects transmission speed.
