13.9. Using the Fax Service

As long as you have an email address and a scanner, you have no need for a fax machine or a fax modem. Ninety percent of faxes are documents generated by your computer and can therefore be sent by email. Other types of documents can be easily scanned, saved as a file and…sent by email.

If you must send faxes to recipients with fax numbers but no email, you can use an Internet-based fax service for a few dollars per month.
