Fax machines offer an efficient and economical way to communicate with clients, suppliers, and business associates. The fax machine allows you to send and receive documents for signing, such as registration forms, quotes, and contracts. It is less expensive than an elaborate telephone system, eliminates time spent on the telephone (which can tie up your line), and eliminates any verbal misunderstandings. Your fax machine can also serve as a photocopier in some cases, saving you the cost of buying a photocopier or paying a copying service.

If you have a computer with a modem, you can purchase software that will enable you to use your computer as a fax machine. If you decide on the fax-modem option, remember that while you can receive any kind of fax, you can only send information that is already on your computer. If you want to fax a brochure to a client, you will have to scan it into your computer before you can fax it using a fax-modem.
