What are the differences between a fax machine and a copier?
assistant
Fax machines are used to send copies of documents from one location to another. Copiers, on the other hand, can make multiple copies of documents or images.2 Fax machines typically use phone lines to transmit data, while copiers use either Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks to connect with computers.3 Fax machines generally cost more than copiers due to their higher initial setup costs.4 Fax machines have limited paper capacities, while copiers can handle larger volumes of paper.5 Fax machines usually require an external power source, whereas copiers can be powered by the computer they're connected to.
