Send a Test Fax

Simplicity is the key to send a test fax by email. If the information to be faxed is not in the computer, then, it must of course, be put there before it can be faxed. The document to be faxed will have to be scanned and saved into the computer; it is best to go ahead and have a special file or folder in which to place the information to be scanned.

To actually send the information, you attach it to an email and send the email to the recipient it is intended for. Instead of sending it to the recipients email address, you send it to his efax number. He will receive the document as an attachment to an email. The results of the test proved that when faxing by email, a person could send or receive faxes anywhere they can send and receive email.

The email fax was also tested by sending an email fax to a regular fax machine. The fax was printed out by the paper fax with no problems.

One email faxing service decided to send a test fax so they could time the length of delivery. he test faxes had a 2-3 minute delivery time, and had a 100% completed delivery.

To test the broadcast type fax is a little different. Since the broadcast fax is sending multiple faxes, the faxes are shown as a spreadsheet with all the recipient’s names and fax numbers on it. Scroll down to whomever you want the test fax to go and push send. After pressing that send, the ‘send test fax’ dialogue box will come up on the screen.

The intended recipient’s phone number must be entered in the send test fax box. Click send test fax and the dialogue ‘test fax started’ will appear. At the top of your jobs spreadsheet is a fax icon; it is now pressed. The ‘are you sure you want to start this fax job’ box appears. Click ok if you want the test fax sent; cancel if you do not want to send it now. Your job box checks the job completed and the test fax has been sent
