Conventional fax machines are huge users of energy and consumables. Constantly on standby just waiting for a fax, churning out paper when one arrives, using significant quantities of toner in environmentally-unfriendly cartridges, they no longer fit with the drive towards a more sustainable approach to business.
The new breed of fax server – such as Lane’s Passport 4000 – radically reduces the impact of the fax on the environment as well as slashing costs. It enables faxes to be sent and received through a digital network, cutting the use of paper and other consumables as well as lowering power usage. In addition, faxes can be stored digitally, so you can rationalise the space needed for physical storage.
The commercial arguments for moving over to an integrated fax server solution make sound business sense. But the sustainability case is equally compelling for anyone with green issues on their agenda.
