Applications

Plain paper fax machines like the Okidata 2100 were standard office equipment from the 1980s through early 2000s, widely deployed in law offices, hospitals, government agencies, financial institutions, and corporate environments where document transmission and archival were essential. These devices handled routine business communication, contract transmission, medical records, and interoffice document distribution. While modern digital communication and email have largely superseded fax technology, plain paper fax machines remain in use in healthcare, legal, and regulatory environments where fax transmission is still required for compliance and authentication purposes.
