Sending a Fax From Your Computer

SmartFax Pro allows you to send any document from your computer to any fax machine and/or the Fax Mailbox associated with your fax service. First, you must download and install the Fax Upload program which is found in Tools and Files section of your personal web account.

Once you have installed the Fax Upload program, you can send any printable document from your Internet-connected Window’s based computer to any fax machine(s) and/ or to your Fax Mailbox associated with your SmartFax Pro service.

To Upload/Send a Fax From Your Computer:

Step 1: Ensure your computer is connected to the Internet.

Step 2: Open the document you wish to send as a fax.

Step 3: Select File, then Print.

Step 4: From the Print Dialog box, select “Upload New Fax.”

Step 5: Determine if you want to send the document to a fax machine(s) and/ or if you want to send it to your Fax Mailbox.

Step 6 a: If you choose to send the document to one or more fax machines, enter the 10 digit fax number(s) in the field provided. For multiple fax machines, separate each fax number with a semi-colon, or press CTRL and Enter to enter each fax number on a separate line. The document will be received by the destination fax machine(s) as if you sent it from a fax machine.

Step 6b: If you choose to upload the document to your Fax Mailbox, you will be able to manage the fax through the Web, or any touch-tone phone. In other words, you can handle it as if it were a fax that you received directly from a fax machine so you can forward it to a fax machine, forward it via email, and view it with PDF, TIFF or JPG

Step 7: Click the Upload button to send the fax to one or more fax machines and/or to send it to your Fax Mailbox.

Note: Depending on the size and type of document you are faxing, and the speed of your Internet connection, uploading may take up to 1 second per page.
