Because, I'm pretty sure scanning a document with a computer scanner and sending the image via e-mail accomplishes the same task more efficiently.
Really? Scanning the document requires first opening the scanner, scanning the document itself, saving the image, possibly having to edit/rotate it, logging into e-mail, attaching it do a new message (which can take time depending on the size of the document), having the person on the other end receive it, download the image, and go through the process of printing it out.
For a fax, you just put the document in the machine, dial the number, and it's automatically printed out on the other end. Faxes are far more efficient in that regard.
