What is the difference between fax and photocopying, whether the fax is an original or a copy

1. Different methods:The method of copying is a little simpler than the fax method, if you want to copy a document, we only need to put this paper material on the photocopier, pay attention to align the paper size mark, otherwise it is easy to print crooked. Then press the corresponding button, and you will be able to make a complete copy of this paper document.

2. Different characteristics:Fax can be used as a kind of certificate, but photocopying cannot be used as a kind of certificate, it can only be used as an ordinary paper document. Fax is the source of the contract, so if the representatives of both companies are unable to sign the contract in person due to the distance, they will choose to sign the contract by fax.

Because fax has the effect of a certificate, even if there is a dispute later, it can be determined by faxing the document.

3. Electronic media are differentFax machines are used for faxing.

Photocopiers are used for photocopying. If we want to fax a paper document, we first need to scan the contents of the paper document, which will then be turned into an electronic signal and sent to another fax machine.

The differences are as follows: Photocopier: For example, if you have a paper document, then you can use a photocopier to completely copy the image on the document to another sheet of paper;

Printer: Connected to other electronic digital devices with a data cable, the information in other devices is printed on paper, such as electronic documents on the computer, **, digital cameras, etc

Fax machine: The content on a paper document is scanned first, and the content on the paper document can be converted into electronic signals after scanning, and then these electrical signals are transmitted to another fax machine through the communication medium, and the fax machine converts these electrical signals into previous images and prints them on paper.

Fax can be used as a source, so sometimes it can be used as a voucher, many companies choose fax to be valid because of the distance when signing the contract, and the copy can only be used as a document, no voucher. Of course, the two look similar on the outside.

The fax is neither a photocopy nor an original.

If it is only to reflect the contents of the contract, then a photocopy can be used instead of a fax. However, if arbitration or litigation is required due to contract disputes, the probative power of the copy will not be as strong as the fax, although the fax is not the original in essence, but the fax can be used to check the source, which can better prove the authenticity of the original.

Legal effect of facsimile copies.

Fax copy is also a kind of written form of contract, but compared with the original, the difference in the nature of the fax will affect its legal effect: the fax copy faxed by both parties to each other and directly modify or confirm the content contained in it can be regarded as the original, but the fax document for the purpose of transmitting text and images is similar to the copy in nature, and is evidence whose validity is to be determined, and cannot be used as evidence to determine the facts of the case alone.

Secondly, the probative power of the fax should be judged according to the objective situation. Sometimes, even if the nature of the fax is an original, it cannot be used as evidence to determine the facts of the case on its own. For example, if a facsimile is used in the process of mutual offer or acceptance between the parties, as long as one party's commitment has not been established, the facsimile cannot be used as evidence to determine the establishment of a contractual relationship.

Alternatively, if the parties sign a formal contract after the facsimile that can prove the establishment of the contractual relationship, the facsimile cannot be used as evidence to determine the content of the contract. Finally, before determining the evidentiary validity of the fax document, it is necessary to identify the authenticity of the fax document. The content of the fax can be altered by means such as photocopying, so although the fax has full evidentiary effect when it is used as the original, it generally still needs to be supported by other evidence to prove its authenticity.

The fax is not an original nor a photocopy. Fax is a fax, its legal effect and the original and the copy is not bent is the same, the fax can be found out of the source, so sometimes it can be used as a certificate, the copy can only be used as a document, there is no voucher effect.

As a data message, a facsimile can be recognized as a written form for the purpose of signing a contract, and its validity is not denied in law. At the same time, there are three essential elements for the contract to be formed and take effect: first, whether the actor has the corresponding civil capacity; the second is that the meaning is true; Third, the content is legal.

Legal effect of facsimile copies. Fax copy is also a kind of written form of contract, but compared with the original, the difference in the nature of fax will affect its legal effect: the fax copy faxed by both parties to each other and directly modify or confirm the content contained in it can be regarded as the original, but the fax document for the purpose of transmitting text and images is similar to a copy in nature, and is evidence whose validity is to be determined, and cannot be used as evidence to determine the facts of the case alone. Repentance.

Legal analysis liquid car:

The fax can be used as a voucher because the source can be queried, while the copy can only be used as a document and has no voucher function. However, the legal effect of the copy and fax document is the same, and it is binding on both parties to the contract.

Legal basis: Article 509 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China: The parties shall fully perform their obligations in accordance with the agreement. The parties shall follow the principle of good faith and perform obligations such as notification, assistance, and confidentiality in accordance with the nature, purpose, and transaction habits of the contract.

In the process of performing the contract, the parties shall avoid wasting resources, polluting the environment and damaging the ecology.
