Fax software is used to create, send, and receive fax messages. It is usually configured with the user’s fax number and may require a dedicated fax line. It may also include other functions such as email, contact lists, and incoming and outgoing message logs. Some programs serve as a software-based fax machine, while others are designed to work with a separate machine.
This type of fax software is used for composing fax messages and cover sheets. It has preformatted fields for typing in specific information, such as business name and contact details.
Fax software with fax machine function
This type of fax software offers the functions of a regular fax machine in a software version. It sends and receives messages over the internet instead of a phone line, which reduces operation costs for long-distance messaging. It can be offered free or for a small fee. Messages may be delivered to an actual fax machine or a similar software-based one.
