Sending a fax by email is easy. Just enter the destination number address as follows: destinationfax#@fax.com, where "destinationfax#" is the number you wish to fax TO. For example, if you are faxing to someone at 888-555-8888, you would address the email to 8885558888@fax.com. Then, simply type a message in the body of the email (optional), attach any documents for faxing, and hit SEND.

Rather than using our Internet fax program remotely, you may send a fax via the secure online interface by logging in to your Fax.com account with the username and password for your account. You will now arrive in your inbox. Click the "Fax To" icon. Next, complete the online form and upload the files that you wish to fax. When you are finished, hit the "Send Fax" button. If you need assistance during each step, Help areas are available throughout the "Send Fax" page.

1. Login to website
2. Click on the Inbound Settings tab and complete the required fields
• Inbound File Format - Choose either PDF or TIF.
• Inbound Fax Delivery: - If you want to receive faxes in your email, choose the Web Inbox AND Email option. You will see the email address you provided on the sign up form is listed as the Primary Address. If you would like to change the Primary Address, you will need to update the General Settings tab. You can also add a Secondary Address so when a fax comes in to your Fax.com fax number, it will be delivered online and sent to BOTH the Primary and Secondary email address. If you would like to retrieve the faxes on the website only, choose Web Inbox ONLY. If you choose the Web Inbox ONLY option, you can still receive an email that will notify you when a fax has been delivered to your Inbox. You can choose the frequency of these notifications by selecting the Inbound Fax Notification Frequency at the bottom of the page.
• Online Fax Storage - Any faxes left sitting online (whether in one of your folders or the Trash) for more than 30 days, will incur a fee of $0.05 per fax per month. To avoid these storage fees, you can choose to Automatically delete faxes by entering 30 days or less.
• Once all your Inbound Settings have been set, click the UPDATE INBOUND SETTINGS button at the bottom of the page
3. Outbound Settings tab
• Email to fax security - If you would like to require a password for sending faxes via email, you will select "Password protect with" and enter your password in the blank space.

• Document Handling - When sending a fax via email, you can choose to "Fax Email Attachments", "Fax Email Body" and you can choose the resolution of the fax (Fine will cause the fax to take longer to transmit to the fax recipient).
• Email Notifications - When sending a fax via email, we can provide 2 types of notifications: the 1st is an Acknowledgment, where we will let you know that we received your request, the 2nd is a Delivery Status, where we can let you know weather the fax was successful or not.
• Valid From Email Addresses - Here is where you will list all the authorized email addresses that you would like to give access to your service to send faxes via email. Enter one email address at a time next to "New" and click "Update".
