How do I send a fax?
Please click this link to be taken to the step by step guide to send a fax.
The fax I received is unclear and I cannot read it. What happened?
The sender may have maintenance issues with their fax machine or there may have been a bad connection. If possible, have the sender re-send the fax from a different machine. If the fax comes in properly, tell them to check their other fax machine for problems. If the problem was the connection, try the fax again.
I’m not receiving any faxes in my email inbox. What is happening?
Log into the Fax over Email application and check your fax inbox. If there are faxes in the fax inbox, but not in your email inbox, make sure you have entered the correct email address to receive the faxes via email. If faxes are not showing up in your fax inbox, please make sure that your account is active. If these are not the problems, please contact Technical Support for assistance.

- Busy - The fax line dialed was busy.
- No Answer - The fax line dialed did not answer.
- No Carrier - The fax line dialed answered, but did not provide fax carrier tone.
- Transmission Error - There was an error during the transmission of the fax.
- Bad Fax Format - The format of the supplied file is not supported by the fax server.
