Common Collocations

Notes

传真 is a noun and can also be used as a verb in modern Chinese to mean 'to fax'. It is often replaced by email in many contexts today, but still widely used in formal or legal document transmission. Avoid confusing 传真 with 传真 as a phrase meaning 'portrait' or 'true image'—in modern usage, 传真 almost exclusively means fax.

Register and Tone

The term is neutral and formal, suitable for business and official communication. It is not used in casual conversation unless discussing office equipment or document transmission.
