    I work at a nuclear power plant (United States). When our emergency organizations are communicating with off-site agencies like the county and state, we have to send them faxes. We're just now convincing them that email is a preferred method, but faxes are actually more reliable. Reliability is kind of important in emergencies, so even after we start using emails, we'll probably keep the fax machines for backup purposes.

    The place where I work has a few departments that occasionally still receive information by fax as well, though not on paper anymore. Something in the server that handles phone stuff turns them into a digital format which ends up being dumped somewhere for people that need to be able to receive them. I suspect its probably some hospitals and other medical professions that send the majority of that traffic considering the field that department is active in. But I wouldn't be that surprised if finances gets the occasional fax too.

    Tapping an analog phone line doesn't require much skill, but it does require physical access. Given that physical security has been around much longer than digital security, it's understandable that companies would put more faith in their security team's ability to keep intruders away from the phone lines than they would put in their IT team to keep their software secure.

    Try trouble shooting transmission errors, or routing them out a VOIP router, or integrating a fax server with a VOIP system. Then you'll see that this ancient relic of the past is not so simple, but can be a living nightmare to get working. However, that being said, once the damn thing is working, it actually stays working with pretty good reliability, and I hate to say it but there's still many times when a user can't wrap their heads around scanning and emailing (especially if you're encrypting it) but they never have trouble sending faxes. Though sometimes there's still the occasional case where you get two fax machines that don't like each other and won't communicate with each other no matter which settings you use (at least this is rarer now), and then they throw you under the bus because you can't make a simple fax go through....yes, I do hate the infamous fax machine with a passion and it burns me that even when archaic laws and regulations aren't a problem that people still rely on the damn things.

    I work for a government agency and we are required to send certain types of documents by fax. New fax machines are able to send higher resolution and even color. The thing that we have to do in some cases is; call the receiving unit and verbally verify that receiver is ready to accept the transmission. Then we hit send on the fax to ensure that the intended recipient is the only one that can receive the document.

Also for the people that are using 4K TV's as monitors why is the importance of using certain settings. I did a little research but i could't find anything useful on the internet except for dumb threads on forums with stupid answer.

    Just an FYI .. there have been color faxes with photo settings for at least a decade. We still use faxes for sending / receiving financial information for our clients... Contacts and documentations in general are electronic, scanned PDF's (since the 90's), and more recently digital signature services such as DocuSign. If you find someone emailing your SSN, DOB, etc unencrypted then I'd sue them! Banks, financial services industry, etc still use faxes.

    It is not even a trained pigeon. It is simply a pigeon taken from its home. Pigeons were selectively bred for their ability to return home ergo the word "homing". You simply take a pigeon from where it is nesting across the country and when you want to send a message there, you release it with said message attached. The pigeon will unerringly return to the place you took it from. This makes it annoying when you have to manage pigeons from many locations, as you need to know which pigeon will fly where and always keep them segregated. After all it wouldn't do if you want to send a secret message to your ally only for your pigeon to fly to the enemy.

    Mt work uses a fax to place 99% of our orders with suppliers and we receive a lot of invoices (and spam mail) through fax also. We could move it all to email but because everything is hand written it would turn 5 seconds of faxing into 10 minutes of turning on a computer, typing up or scanning in an order, e-mailing and printing a copy.

    I've always wondered how you are supposed to send a fax when you only have cellular service. I first started getting into sending faxes 12 years ago. Then, land lines just became a hassle and expensive when our phone company became a dick. We ended up dropping land line and switching to cellular. The only problem is that many businesses still see emailing scanned documents as a security risk so it is helpful to be able to fax documents, but my cell phone doesn't have an obvious way of doing that. Is there a solution?

    That kind of thing was common for me for a long time because I was stuck with a desktop cobbled together from various outdated-when-new parts, which ended up being the only working Windows 3.1/98SE desktop in my entire family., which meant that I ended up with all of the old peripherals. Though the ribbon printer I had during 2002 was actually quite good-except for the rapidly dwindling supply of ink. I could actually still use it under Windows 10 if I hadn't dumped it, because the fax machine had a working Printer to USB adaptor.

    The Railroad industry in the US is very dependent on fax machines too, for a variety of things.. Primarily, There are 3 pieces of paperwork issued everyday that conductors and engineers are required to carry with them (summary, supplemental, and RB). They come over fax after 4pm for the next day (but can also be emailed if fax is offline). So you come in to work, grab and organize your faxes. Then fax your conductors report to the railroad that owns the section of track you will be operating on (if you're going to be operating on some other companies rail), and then go off to work..
