   When you scan a document with a scanner, it becomes a picture file. You can simply e-mail the picture file as a file attachment to whoever you want.
   If you want to send the picture file to a real fax machine that’s hooked up to a telephone line, then you can use an internet fax service like this one:

   Just do an internet search on ‘internet faxing’

   Only if it is set up to send and receive fax messages. If it is just a standard scanner, you will have to buy a fax machine. I reccomend getting a 3-in-1 machine. Fax, Scanner, and Printer.

   ofcorz you cannot use a scanner as a fax machine…. theres no such way if thats just a scanner… how can it prints the recieved fax if it just a scanner… fax machine is a fax machine and scanner is a scanner… scanner scans images and text while fax machines send and receive fax messages…

   Yes you can! Faxes can now be sent through the Internet. A fax will be sent from your email account and be delivered to your recipient’s fax machine.

   There are many different Internet fax companies. Take a look at the Top Ten Internet fax services out there http://faxing-service-review.toptenreviews.com/

   Like others have said, you are able to do so by using an internet fax service. There are many available on the internet, and some of them even off free trials to test out the product before you purchase.
