The working of a fax machine is done by transmitting scanned data’s through telephone lines, combined with an automatically receiving function on the other end. It has a built in high speed modem. The latest fax machines support to reproduce images with higher resolution with either color or grey scale image in it. The data is first scanned and made to an electronic representation which is compressed and thus saves the data transmission time and transmits it to another fax machine or computer with a fax machine.
Fax machines support now a variety of printing technology and hence enhanced the usage of ordinary white paper for it’s reproduced print out. In early days one could use only thermal wax papers which was quite costly and now with the introduction of laser and inkjet types of printing it could be made very cost effective. Due to the capability of printing technology used in the fax machines they are in demand.
Fax machines that support laser printing gives the best printing quality with the highest resolution possible. Fax machines with LED printing are the next which offers best print quality. An array of LED’s help in the formation of the image reproduced and thus it does not require a scanner in it. This is one advantage of LED fax machines over Inkjet fax machines. But both the fax machines provide high quality and high speed reproduction of both images and data in the text form.
The fax machines using inkjet printing are further classified depending upon the different types of inkjet printing it uses. To name them they are Drop on demand Inkjet technology, Bubble Jet Printer Drop on Demand Technology, Serial Inkjet Printing Technology and Thermal Printing Technology.
Hence while on purchase of a fax machine you have to look into the price and space the machine demands, the quality and resolution it can give you and its purpose of use either for domestic or official. This will ensure you to get the best out of what you have.
