The time it takes to send and receive faxes on a machine usually depends on the brand and model. In the 1920s, it took about six minutes to send a single-page fax. Since then, faxing has evolved and continues to adapt. Today, it takes only a few seconds to fax a single page. The Canon FAX-L3000, for example, can send a single-page fax in just three seconds. It’s a remarkable improvement, especially considering how long it takes to fax using an older fax machine.
With iFax, you can send and receive faxes online without any delay. Once you click the send button, our internet-based fax service will securely send your message via an encrypted connection.
Since you’re sending faxes over the internet, the faxing time for each fax may vary. Some factors may also affect your fax transmission speed, such as the type of document you’re faxing and the rate of communication over a data channel. On average, faxing over the internet takes about one minute for a single page. The transmission time may also change when sending fax documents in large volumes.
Still, you can rest easy. After sending a fax, our fax service will immediately notify you about your document’s estimated delivery time.
