What Is The Best Kind Of Fax To Use When You Are Running A Website Business?
Are the all-in-one fax/ printers/ scanners which use a pc modem to accept faxes any good? Are users of these happy with them?
The cheaper allinones are inkjet, do these still function ok? Or should I pay the extra money and get a laser printer all in one?
My computer will be online for more than 12 hours a day.Are the faxes that use a direct telephone line better? I need an answering machine as well. I want to send good quality faxes.

The all in one models work just as well as dedicated fax machines. You will want to have a separate phone line for the fax machine. If people cannot get into your fax for 12 hrs a day – then they are not going to retry for if and when the line is clear.
The problem with PC modem/faxes is that you have to have the computer up and runnning all the time. Otherwise the modem will not connect etc.
Inkjet vs Laser — it really comes down to speed and replacement cost. Inkjets are typically cheaper initially, but the ink costs are high. Laser are usually faster, but if the business is small – why the rush? I’d get a inkjet for now, and if you need to upgrade later – then do so.
Answering machine? Jeez most people use a telephone based voicemail system nowadays. No clunky machine to deal with, its all handled by the phone company.
