FAXES Meaning and Definition

  1. Faxes, short for facsimiles, refer to documents or images that are transmitted electronically over a telephone line. The term can also refer to the machines or devices used for faxing. Faxes are often used to send visual representations of printed or handwritten materials between two remote locations.

    To send a fax, a document or image is scanned by a fax machine or a computer with fax software. The scanned data is then converted into a digital format that can be easily transmitted over traditional telephone lines or, more commonly nowadays, over the internet. The receiving fax machine or computer decodes the transmitted data and reproduces it as a printed document or image.

    Faxes are widely used for various purposes such as transmitting contracts, business documents, letters, or receipts. They provide a quick and convenient means of communication, eliminating the need for physical transportation of documents. Faxes are especially useful when an original hard copy is required or when immediate document transmission is necessary.

    Although faxing has declined in popularity with the rise of email and other digital communication methods, it is still utilized in many industries that require paper-based documentation, such as legal, medical, and governmental sectors. Additionally, fax machines can often serve as multifunction devices, performing tasks like printing, scanning, and copying, further enhancing their utility and presence in offices.
