How to Prepare a Document to be Sent as an Internet Fax

Internet faxing has reached the mainstream of both business and personal faxing. It’s easy, fast and can be accomplished from your computer without the expense of a fax machine and its attendant accessories. Here’s how to prepare a document to be sent as an Internet fax.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Prepare a text file by simply saving it to your hard drive. There are no special procedures other than it has to be saved to your computer in order that you can find it with your Internet fax program later.
2. Scan a document in on the highest resolution your scanner offers. If your fax program won’t send a high quality file, you can always downsize it later.
3. Save whatever file that you’re sending to your hard drive.
4. Open your Internet fax program, create a new fax and attach the document you’ve saved.
5. Enter the recipients’ contact information and click “Send.”

Tips & Warnings

• Pictures sent over an Internet fax are rarely as high of quality as emailed pictures. If quality is important and email is an option, you should opt for email.
• Beware of any Internet fax provider who offers their services for free. This is almost certainly a scam, though there are certain providers who will provide a free trial period of small number of trial faxes.
