Fax - How to Fax via Email
Last Updated 6 years ago
Preparing your document
Note: If you already have a document in pdf format, you can use that to send the fax. You do not need to print, then scan the document again to complete this process. This section of the guide will demonstrate how to get a document with a cover page included. You could achieve the same results with 2 pdfs and adobe acrobat. However, that process is considered advanced and will not be covered in this guide.- Prepare the document to send as you normally would for a typical fax.
***This includes preparing, completing and attaching the appropriate cover sheet with your documentation.*** - Place the documents into the scanner document feeder. This should be in the order of cover sheet + the documents to fax. End goal is to have the scanned document contain the cover sheet as page 1 and the remaining pages of the pdf are your document pages.
- Scan the documents with a destination of "Send to My Email"
- You should receive an email with the output of your scan job.
- Open the received email and attachment. Ensure the Cover sheet is page 1 of the document and that all other pages scanned appropriately.
- If there is a problem with the order of the documentation, make any necessary corrections and repeat steps 1-5 until the correct output is achieved.
Sending the Fax via Email
- Forward the email with the attachment to fax=FaxNumberToSendTo@fax.mslcc.com
- Subject and body of the email can be completed for your records, they are ignored by the fax server and will not be included on the sent fax.
Example Prior to Sending: - Click send when you are satisfied with the content of the fax.
- When the send process completes, you will receive email confirmation of the Success or Failure, either status will also return a pdf copy of the fax which was sent or attempted to send.
