Explanation
แฟกซ์ is a loanword from English “fax.” As a noun, it can refer to the method of transmission, the machine, or a received fax document. Use เครื่องแฟกซ์ when you want to identify the machine unambiguously. It also functions as a verb. For example, แฟกซ์เอกสาร means “fax a document.” Fax machines are counted with เครื่อง: เครื่องแฟกซ์หนึ่งเครื่อง means “one fax machine.”
Usage
It is used in offices, government agencies, hospitals, and hotels when forms, signed documents, or reservation details are sent or received. Although email has largely replaced faxing, the word remains useful in workplaces that handle paper documents.
Caution
แฟกซ์ is not used for sending a file as an email attachment. In that situation, use an expression such as ส่งอีเมล, “send an email.”
