The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones.
If the fax machine has a small display screen, look for a confirmation that the fax went through. Some fax machines will also print out a short confirmation report. Here's how to receive a fax: 1  Make sure the fax machine is plugged in, powered on and connected to a working phone jack.2  This phone jack can either be your regular phone line or a dedicated fax line.3  The important thing is that the sender has the right number. Gather the documents you want to send and put them in the order you want them to be received. 2  Fill out a separate piece of paper called a coversheet with the recipient's name, fax number/phone number, your name, your phone number, a short message and number of pages (including coversheet).
