Fax Machine Overview
Fax Machines, or Fax-to-Email, enables users to receive faxes in a PDF format. The fax is sent to an email inbox. This method of is used to only receive faxes and cannot be used to send outbound faxes.
A fax machine must have a phone number pointed to it. The remote fax machine dials the number just like any other fax machine. The fax is converted to a PDF and emailed to the notification email address(es) listed in the specific fax machine record.
There are no additional settings to configure. Faxes are received using the most up-to-date technology and (in many cases) offer the same performance as a standard analog fax machine.
