There are three main ways to fax something: With a fax machine, through a local store with a fax service, with a computer, or online.
Fax Machine
A fax machine is used to send and receive faxes.
To send a fax with a fax machine, you would need to:
1) Connect the fax machine to a phone line
2) Put the documents you want to send in the document feeder
3) Dial the fax number you want to send to
4) Press the send button
5) Wait for the confirmation that the fax was successfully sent
Local Store
There are often stores with a fax machine available to use. Print/Copy shops such as FedEx/Kinkos or UPS Stores are the most common places. Hotels and Business centers will also usually have a fax available.
To send a fax from there, go to the store and ask them to help you send it. Each location can be different, and they will walk you through the process.
Computer
Most computers have software that can have them act as a fax machine.
For this to happen, the computer's modem will need to be attached to a phone line - this way the software has the computer act as a fax machine.
There are a number of software packages on the market that will do this, and some systems such as Windows have a program like Windows Fax and Scan already installed on them. Each of them have their own instructions on how they are used.
Online Service
An online fax service does for fax what webmail did for email - the service, and all the technology involved in sending and receiving the faxes are run by the online fax service provider.
The user only needs to log onto the service, then use it to send and receive faxes instead of managing technolgy on their end. These services are also usually accessible from anywhere the internet is accessible.
Each service is different, and each has its own instructions on how a fax is sent.
