Fax From Computer
by Matt Gerchow
There was a time when it was easy to send a fax from computer. Each version of Windows up through Windows 2000 offered Windows Fax and Scan. The computer was plugged into a modem and any document could be attached and sent as a fax. Today, however, Windows has seen fit to do away with the program on all Windows versions other than the Windows Business. This means that users must find another method to send and receive documents through fax.
Another fax Option
Ringcentral is a fax server that allows computer users to send and receive faxes with their computer. This affordable option allows users to send and receive faxes at from their own dedicated fax number. The faxes are saved on the server until the account holder logs onto the site to receive his or her documents. The user can receive faxes anywhere there is an internet connection. The service allows additional numbers to be assigned to other company employees for less than 5.00 per month.
How to Fax the Document
Many documents that need to be sent by fax will already be in the computer. The program adds a fax option to most other Windows based programs that allows the user to simply press the send button from inside the other Windows based programs. It is possible to sign documents electronically, however in cases where a traditional signature is needed, the document will need to be printed, signed and then scanned back into the computer before sending.
Another option that many users will enjoy about this service is that faxes can also be sent and received by e-mail. If e-mail is your preferred way of communicating, the service allows the ability to communicate by sending faxes by e-mail that are printed to the recipient's fax machine. Faxes sent to you are delivered directly to your e-mail box.
If it is important for your to be able to send and receive fax from computer, the fax server may be the best option.
