    1. From the Top Menu Navigation, click on the “Fax” icon.
    2. Click “Apps” in the Top Menu Navigation to access the applications.
      1. Navigate to the Communication Apps and click on “Fax.”

  4. Next, enter the Recipient’s Information, including the Recipient Name and Recipient Fax Number, to specify who will receive the fax.

The “Normal” option offers standard quality for text documents and faster transmission. “Fine” provides better quality for documents with smaller text or simple graphics, while “Superfine” delivers the highest quality, ideal for detailed images or complex layouts.
    2. Select the Page Size from the dropdown menu by choosing one of the available options: Letter, Legal, or A4.
      image_zoom_icon article152_ss6.pngNote: “Page Size” determines the dimensions of the document being faxed, ensuring proper formatting and display on the recipient’s end. The “Letter” size (8.5" x 11") is commonly used in the U.S. for standard documents, “Legal” size (8.5" x 14") is used for longer forms or contracts, and “A4” size (8.27" x 11.69") is the standard international paper size for most documents.
    3. Next, select the Sender Number from the dropdown list of numbers already added to the portal.
