To use a fax machine: connect it to a power outlet and phone line, load paper, and check the toner. Place your documents face-up in the feeder, dial the recipient's fax number, then press Send. No fax machine on hand? Fax.Plus sends and receives faxes from any device, no line needed.
A fax machine scans a document and converts each page into an electrical signal (a series of audio tones), which travels over a telephone line to the receiving machine. The receiving fax machine, fax server, or online fax service decodes the tones and prints or saves the page. Both machines briefly "handshake" at the start of the call to agree on transmission speed before the scan begins.
