To fax a document, get a Fax Machine. Enter the document and the phone number of the Fax you wish to send it to, and press send. Or get an online fax service like efax. com or jfax. com and enroll. Or plug your all-in-one printer into a phone line, install the software suite, and use the software included.

Call your cable and telephone provider to set-up a landline if needed.

Before inserting the paper, fan or flip through the paper stack to make sure they do not stick together. This will help prevent paper jams. Each machine will house a certain type, size, and number of ink cartridges. Be sure to review the machine’s instructions to decide what ink best works with your machine.

Check that the landline is properly connected by picking up the fax machine’s receiver if it is available on your device. The receiver should resemble a telephone. Listen for the humming noise of a dial tone, which will indicate that the connection is secure. If the fax does not have a receiver, you can connect a phone through the external phone jack on the fax machine. You should hear the humming noise of a dial tone if the connection is sound.

Including the page count on the cover sheet is useful for the recipient so they will know if they received all the necessary pages.
