How to send a fax mail

Sending a fax can be a bit old-school, but it's still a useful way to send documents electronically. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to send a fax:

Method 1: Using a Fax Machine

  1. Find a fax machine: Look for a fax machine at your office, library, or a nearby business that offers fax services.

  3. Dial the fax number: Enter the recipient's fax number using the keypad on the fax machine.
  4. Send the fax: Place your document face down on the fax machine's scanner bed. The machine will automatically scan and transmit the document to the recipient's fax machine.
  5. Wait for confirmation: The fax machine will beep or display a confirmation message when the transmission is complete.

  3. Enter the recipient's fax number: Enter the recipient's fax number and any additional information required by the service.
  4. Send the fax: Click the "Send" button to transmit the document to the recipient's fax machine.
  5. Wait for confirmation: The online fax service will send you a confirmation email or notification when the transmission is complete.

Method 3: Using a Smartphone App

  1. Download a fax app: Download a fax app like FaxBurner, FaxApp, or HelloFax from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Upload your document: Open the app and upload your document from your phone's camera roll or take a new photo of the document.
  3. Enter the recipient's fax number: Enter the recipient's fax number and any additional information required by the app.
  4. Send the fax: Tap the "Send" button to transmit the document to the recipient's fax machine.
  5. Wait for confirmation: The app will send you a confirmation notification when the transmission is complete.

Remember to always check the recipient's fax number and ensure that the document is in a format that can be easily scanned and transmitted (e.g., PDF, JPEG, or TIFF).
