I am developing a website having fax facility. Here i want to send a fax to a fax machine but i could not use any fax machine at sending side. I put 2 text boxes for getting document name and fax number and a text area for ax content at run time. When i will click the send button, the fax should send to the fax number given by user.

How to do this???

Please help me...

Thanks in Advance...

an exact copy of a document made by electronic scanning and transmitted as data by telecommunications links.

I though only layers and hospital people still use faxes, and only because those people are really crazy...

Well, probably you can install a Fax and use it as a printer... Read about it, do some Web search. I never had to do such a weird thing as using a fax...

I could not use any fax machine at the sending side.

Then probably you don't have any hardware to send any fax...

Not like that.. My requirement is to send fax by pc without using fax machine at sending side...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 25-Nov-13 3:53am

That's exactly what I say: it means that you don't have proper hardware to do that. What do you have instead of such machine: fax-modem? or nothing? :-)

Yes, you can. If you use some existing fax sending facility. And that brings you to total absurd, which is, by coincidence, where you were at the very beginning. Look at your own question:

Here you go: :-).

You are "developing" a Web site having only a modem-based Internet connection to send faxes without a fax machine. I won't be much surprised if the C# code behind is supposed to work on programmable calculator :-).

Good luck with that.

Solution 2

Assuming you have a fax modem installed in the sending PC, they generally install a print driver which you can use to send from your software, or there are a whole bunch of APIs and libraries which can help your code do it directly. Google can help you there: send fax c#[^]

Well, you certainly tried all 1 million plus hits very, very quickly! Could you teach me to read that fast? 1 million web pages in under 15 minutes is a serious reading speed!

Or did you just go "no, don't understand - next", "no, don't understand - give up"?

vineeth raju 25-Nov-13 5:21am

Not like that. I saw many solutions. But that all using fax machine at the sending side.

OriginalGriff 25-Nov-13 5:38am

How do you expect to send the fax then? Carrier Pigeon?
To send a fax, you need a fax machine (or fax modem) to interface with the phone system...
