Sending a Fax Through Outlook

It is uncommon in our environment to send faxes the traditional way. Instead, we use a tool built into our ERP system to route fax through email. 
Follow the simple steps below to send a fax over email:

1.  Open a new message. 
    

2.  In the To address field you will enter NAME@FAXNUMBER.fastfax.local (i.e. paul@8473717702.fastfax.local). 
   The name can be anything and you do not need to add a 1 to the Fax Number.

   

    

3. Fill in the subject line and enter something into the message body; this will act as your cover sheet.
   Be sure to remove any images in your signature as they will cause the fax to fail.
    
4. Attach a maximum of 1 simple (containing no macros/advanced features) PDF and click Send.
