No matter what your requirements, Omnivision Technologies has a fax machine or multifunction centre perfect for your business requirements.

Fax Machines
Facsimile machines have come a long way since they were first introduced in the mid-1980s. Today, fax machines are as common an office feature as computers. Most modern fax machines use a flatbed scanning technology, in which the document moves vertically using a stepper motor, scanning each line at a time. While early faxes took about 6 minutes to scan page, most fax machines today can accomplish that task in under 10 seconds. Which size or price range of fax machine you buy will depend primarily on your budget and the number of faxes you send. Faster machines with automatic feeder capabilities will naturally cost more. For the home office user, a principal consideration will also be phone line use. Smaller faxes that are used infrequently won't need their own phone line, but should come equipped with a splitter that allows it to share your regular phone line.

Multifunction Printers
The multifunction printer is also known as the "all-in-one" or sometimes a "central output" machine. They are also rapidly gaining in popularity and may one day replace the need for separate home office peripherals. Most multifunction printers operate as a scanner/copier/printer with both black-and-white and colour printing options. However, some multifunction printers include fax machines and sophisticated computer full-office functionality. What's most important in deciding on the multifunction printer for you is to look at both purpose and requirements. Do you require a scanner at all, or can that function be done outside the office? How often do you use a fax, or can you rely on internal fax software? And do you require other functions, such as folding, sorting, punching and binding? Once you calculate your basic office needs, you'll be in a better position to choose from the growing range of multifunction printers available today.
