VoIP? If it has to go through a bunch of translation steps at both ends,
it would seem better to simply scan the document (assuming it isn't in
electronic form to begin with) and attach it to an E-Mail.</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Fax machines are very easy to use, compared to scanners :<br>you slide a document in, you type a couple of digits and then press send button<br>
<br>For most scanners or MFP, you can scan a document sliding it in just like you would when faxing it, but the trouble would be that, frequently, you don't have an easy numeric pad to type your callee's number or address : that's why users don't like to use scanner to send documents.<br>
