Fax machines are almost as
familiar as telephones in many big
construction offices, and with good
reason. The low operating cost of a
fax machine often makes sending
and receiving faxes the cheapest
way to communicate for both
routine and rush jobs. But fax
machines are also a good fit for
small builders. Their speed and
convenience can help save a small
contractor's most valuable asset —
time.
Fax (short for facsimile) transmission
is a lot like photocopying by
telephone. The sending fax
machine digitally scans the document
and transmits it electronically
over the telephone lines. The
receiving fax machine reverses the
process and prints a copy of the
original document.
