Are Online Fax Services Better For the EnvironmentMany people are concerned about the environment these days, but they may not know what steps they can take to make a difference. In the United States, millions of trees are cut down every year for paper. And a lot of this paper is just thrown away and wasted. Fax machines are one of the major culprits. Fax machines create a great deal of paper waste, and a lot of it isn't even wanted. How many junk faxes does your office receive each day? What do you do when you receive an unwanted fax?

Junk faxes are a nuisance, but they also create problems for the environment and waste your money. Many people just live with this problem, thinking there is just nothing that they can do about it. With online fax services, there now is something you can do about faxes you don't want. The reason that junk faxes were printed out in the past was because of the fax technology available at the time. Because fax machine would just print out every single page that was sent to them, people had no real options except to accept the junk faxes. When a fax was coming through, they had no idea if it was going to be a junk fax or an important document. It was impossible to preview your faxes.

With online faxing, previewing your files is now possible. First, you sign up for a service. Usually, this allows you to send and receive a certain number of fax pages each week or month. Most services provide you with a local or toll- free fax number that you can use to receive documents, as well. These virtual fax numbers are sent through the service provider, which converts them to a digital format so that you can view them on the computer or even on your mobile phone. Some services store the files in an online fax inbox. Others use a website, and some make use of your email account. In each of these cases, files are always stored as a digital file, such as a PDF file. When you log into your account or fax inbox, you will see a list of the files you have received. When you click on them, you can view them and see exactly what they are. If it's a junk fax, you can delete it. If it's a short fax that you can easily read on your computer monitor, you may not want to print it out, either. If it's an important or detailed document, you can also choose to print it out just like you would with a regular fax machine. However, being able to preview your files means you will waste a lot less paper. You can pick and choose exactly what you want to print, and delete anything you don't want. Many services allow you to block numbers that are sending you junk faxes, as well, which can further cut down on unwanted files.
