How to Send a Fax By Email
Sending and receiving faxes via email has become a popular and economical way for many businesses to operate. It saves a company a great deal of money because they do not need to buy fax machines, ink, or paper. Moreover, setting up an email fax is not a difficult process and the faxes are sent securely.
- In order to send a fax by email,
you need three necessary components: an Internet connection, a
computer, and an email account. You also need a service that allows
you to send the faxes via email such as Metrofax or Myfax as both services have
very good reviews. There are other services that may work better for
you, so search the Internet to see what works best for you and your
business. Most have a free trial so you can get an idea of how it
works before committing to the service. - Once you have the software
installed, sending a fax by email is a breeze. You simply open a new
email, in the “To” field, type in the fax number you are sending
it to, type in a subject for your reference, and attach the
documents you wish to fax. You can use the body of the email as a
cover page for the fax. Hit “send” and your fax is on its way. - If the recipient has a traditional
fax machine, he or she will receive the fax the “old fashioned”
way. On the other hand, if the recipient also has email faxing, it
will come as an attachment to their email. It is fast, quick, and no
worrying about the fax machine jamming while trying to send the fax.
