how to send a fax

There are three main ways to send a fax: using a fax machine, from a computer, or via a mobile device/app. Using a fax machine:

1. Plug in the fax machine, connect the telephone line, load paper, and turn it on.
2. Place the document(s) face up in the document feeder tray.
3. Dial the recipient's fax number including country and area codes.
4. Press the "Send" button; the machine scans and transmits the document.
5. Wait for confirmation on the machine display or printout that the fax was sent successfully.

From a computer:

1. Use a fax modem connected to your computer or an online fax service.
2. Install and configure fax software, like Windows Fax and Scan or services like eFax, FAX.PLUS.
3. Create a new fax message, entering the recipient's fax number.
4. Attach the document (scan physical ones to PDF first).
5. Send the fax and wait for confirmation.

From a mobile device:

1. Download a fax app such as Fax.Plus or eFax.
2. Register and set up an account within the app.
3. Create a new fax, enter the recipient's fax number.
4. Attach the document from your device.
5. Send it and receive confirmation via the app or email.

These methods cover sending a fax whether you have traditional fax hardware or want to send a fax digitally without a fax machine.
