Using a fax machine:
Prepare your document: Ensure your document is clear and free of any marks or tears.
Set up the fax machine: Plug in the power cord, connect the phone line, load paper into the tray, and turn on the machine.
Load the document: Most machines have a feeder tray for multiple pages or a flatbed scanner for single pages. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions.
Enter recipient's information: Dial the recipient's fax number using the keypad and enter a brief message, if desired, which will serve as a cover sheet.
Send the fax: Press the "Send" or "Fax" button, and the machine will transmit the document. You might hear beeps or see lights indicating the transmission process.
Confirmation: Once successful, the machine might print a confirmation report.
Alternative methods:
While fax machines are less common nowadays, you can also consider these alternatives:
Online fax services: These services allow you to upload your document and send it via fax through the internet.
Email to fax: Some providers allow you to send faxes by emailing the document to a specific email address with the recipient's fax number in the format "@[invalid URL removed]".
Remember, faxing might incur charges depending on your service provider and destination. It's always recommended to check with the recipient if they prefer another method for receiving your document.
