Simply put, "fax 2 email" means sending and receiving faxes via email.
Without But to better understand the technology involved, we must understand how various other forms of faxing and how this form of faxing differs of them.
Originally meant to send faxes by fax, or a copy of a document from one place to another via the telephone network through agency appliances known as fax machines. Fax machines include a scanner, printer and modem. Document is scanned by the machine fax. Then the image data resulting from the digitization is converted into electronic pulses by the modem, so they can be sent through the telephone network or public switched telephone network (PSTN) to give his own name to another fax machine. Receiving fax machine converts the pulses back to the data and recreates the image scanned document. Finally printing machine prints the document.
When computers started using modems to exchange data among themselves, it was also possible to send faxes directly from your computer using the software. First, the document was printed on the computer what is called "fax software" which means that the document is converted into data that can be understood by a fax machine. So the modem connected to the computer sent the fax software for receiving by fax through the telephone network. Receiving fax machine print the document in the normal way. Computers can also receive faxes if they were connected to the line telephone and the corresponding software was running at that time.
Direct fax equipment did not become popular because they had to be always connected to receive faxes. However, widespread adaptation of Internet connectivity problem is resolved. Solution involves using a fax server or a gateway always connected to the Internet and the telephone network to send and receive faxes. This is the method that is known as "e-mail 2 fax.
Server fax Receive faxes from the telephone network and converts it into an image, usually in TIFF or PDF. This image, along with an email with details of the fax, such as faxing, reception time, etc. are sent to the email address of the user. To send a fax the user sends the document along with the recipient fax number to fax server. The fax server then will send the fax through the telephone network.
Fax to email electronic method is inexpensive because users can obtain services from a fax server through a provider. You no longer need expensive special hardware, software or a telephone line, as they can receive and send faxes through a normal Internet connection using email. It also frees users being tied to the fax line since they can access email from anywhere. They will be able to receive faxes at any time, even when not online.
