Who is the treasure singer" Wang Yuan do not know the fax machine, do you know what is a fax machine?

In the office constantly intelligent environment, the fax machine is like the BB machine in the last century faded out of people's work and life, a lot of 90, 00 after even have not seen what a fax machine looks like, as a new generation of young stars Wang Yuan do not know the fax machine, it is really not surprising. Today, the rapid development of information technology, fax machines have disappeared? Actually not. Then, in the end, what is a fax machine?

1. Basic concepts and types of fax machines

Fax machine is the application of scanning and photoelectric conversion technology, documents, charts, photographs, and other still images into electrical signals, transmitted to the receiving end, in the form of a record of the reproduction of communications equipment.

To talk about the history of the birth of fax technology, can be traced back as early as the 1840s, but the development of fax communication technology in the field of telecommunications is relatively slow, until the 1920s to become more mature, after the 1960s has been the rapid development. It was at one time one of the most widely used communication tools.

The fax machine, with its ability to intuitively and accurately reproduce the real handwriting, and can transmit charts and photographs that are not easy to express in words, easy to operate and other features and characteristics, used to be widely used in military communications and daily office transmission and other fields. According to the use of fax machine classification, usually can be divided into the following types: a photo fax machine; second is a newspaper fax machine; third is a weather fax machine; fourth is a color fax machine; fifth is a document fax machine.

2. The metamorphosis of the fax machine

With the wide application of large-scale integrated circuits, microprocessor technology, signal compression technology and technological advances, the traditional traces of the fax machine gradually disappeared from the people's work and life, but towards the direction of automation, digitalization, high-speed, confidentiality, and small size, lightweight, and development. Gorgeous transformation and upgrading to a more flexible and convenient new era of intelligent multi-functional modern office tools.

In the development of fax, thermal paper fax machine development and use of the longest history, the widest range, the technology is also more mature, but the shortcomings of a single function is also more prominent, to the modernization of the office to bring certain limitations and trouble, so fade out of the office applications, but in the network technology is developed today, the fax machine is not completely out of the historical stage, but along with the laser integrated The increasing perfection and maturity of the technology, and gradually complete a new metamorphosis.

Future, the traditional fax machine is gradually iterative update, the new fax server carries the basic working principle of the fax machine, with WiFi controllable new features, re-integrated into people's work and life by no means a dream. You can imagine that in the near future, users will be able to enjoy more convenient fax services, to achieve the use of fax servers, as long as they are in a place where there is a network, the use of computers, mobile terminals can be sent and received through the network fax software, browsers, or Email and other means of paperless management of faxes, fax servers to become the mainstream of the send and receive management of faxes is the general trend.
