There are multiple ways how users can send faxes:
Sending a fax via email
Users can send faxes directly from their email client. To do this, create an email and fill in the following details:
Sending a fax using the GFI FaxMaker Online Client
GFI FaxMaker Online Client enables users to use various methods to send faxes directly from an application installed on their machines. This enables users to convert the content from any application to fax format and users can preview the fax (.FAX format) directly from their machines. It also provides an address book for managing fax contacts.
Install the Client application on users' machines. For more information refer to the GFI FaxMaker Online Client Manual, available from: http://go.gfi.com/?pageid=FMOClientDoc
Use the Microsoft Office Fax plug-in to send faxes directly from within Microsoft Office applications. Install the plug-in on user machines and author the fax directly from Microsoft Office.
The GFI FaxMaker Online Application Developer Interface enables third-party software to send faxes directly to the GFI FaxMaker Online servers.
For more information refer to the Outbound Web Services Developer Guide.
NOTE
This is an advanced feature intended for developers with knowledge of web services and API development environments.
1. The fax number must always include the international dial symbol "+", the country and area codes. This also applies when sending faxes locally, for example from New York to New York. For more information refer to Specifying fax recipients.
2. GFI FaxMaker Online accepts emails up to 20MB. The total file size of all attachments and the email content cannot exceed this threshold. Certain mail servers, however, have a lower email size limit (example, 15MB). In this case send faxes that are smaller than the mail server limit.
3. The fax sender must be included in the list of GFI FaxMaker Online users. Senders that do not have an account configured in GFI FaxMaker Online will not be able to send faxes. For more information refer to Users.
4. After sending a fax the user is notified about the fax status via transmission reports. For more information refer to Transmission reports.
