fax service

Phone line transmission

A fax service transmits documents over telephone lines or the internet, converting pages to electronic signals that print at the receiving end.

Traditional fax machines have largely given way to online fax services that send and receive documents via email or web interface: The law office still uses a fax service for court filings.

Some businesses maintain fax capability for industries where it remains standard practice.
