                                                                                              Here you will learn internet fax server overview and general introduction to the online faxing methods, how to send a fax and online services. A fax server consists of these things a PC, which is connected to the LAN, Fax server software installed on the PC and a Fax modem or a Fax board. Fax messages can be stored as printable documents, spread sheet, database or graphics. When someone wants to fax the documents, they can print the document to the fax printer then put the recipient information such as name and fax number, select the cover letter, type your message and then send the fax through the faxing software installed on your PC.


Alternatively, you can send the fax to the email messages and can take the fax number from the outlook express contact’s list. Sending fax through PC typically takes less than 30 seconds.
Alternatively, fax server can also be setup to receive the faxes and after receiving the faxes, these can be sent to the printer machine or can be sent to the specific recipient’s email address to notify them that he/she has received a fax.
There are certain advantages of the PC fax server, which I have discussed as follows.
1. The main feature of the Fax server is that it saves your time and cost and you can send the fax in the same way as you send emails and attached the fax to send to the recipients.
2. Invoicing, purchase orders and requested information can be scheduled to be faxed to the intended recipients.
3. Fax server will also retry if the recipient number is busy or if there is any error in the number.
4. You can also save the fax numbers of the frequent users.
5. Fax books also make it easy to send the faxes to the groups of people and at the scheduled times.
6. The faxes that are sent directly through the PC are looks better in terms of the resolution.
7. You can also manage the fax server to redirect the receiving faxes to the appropriate recipient so ensuring the security and timely receiving of the faxes.
8. The administrators can automate many functions of the fax server. A fax server can be configured to automatically send the invoices, purchase orders and the promotional newsletters. Additionally, a fax server can work without papers and reduces the overhead of putting and checking the papers again and again. Fax messages can be stored in your PC.
