e-fax

Internet document transmission

E-fax is a system for sending and receiving faxes electronically through email or the internet rather than a physical fax machine.

Documents arrive as digital attachments instead of printed pages: I'll send you an e-fax of the signed contract.

The technology largely replaced traditional fax machines in office settings.
