Fax machines can include extra features such as copying, quick scanning, dual scanning, one-touch dialing, batch processing, and laser printing. Decide which options are most important to you before making a purchase.

Also consider how much memory you'll need. Fax memory stores incoming or outgoing pages internally. Depending on the density of the images, standard fax memory can hold 20 to 25 pages at once. You can purchase additional memory cards for about $50 to $100 per megabyte.

A fax machine vendor can also furnish you with a maintenance contract for an additional charge. This protects you beyond the manufacturer's limited warranty should your fax need repairs or replacement parts. It's particularly useful if you fax 50 or more pages per day.

When budgeting for a fax machine, consider the consumables you will need to replenish over time such as ink or toner and paper.
