How is it that you can use your email account to send faxes to a fax machine?<\/p><p>It\u2019s all about using our innovative online fax service.<\/p><p>To send an email fax, you write up a message and attach a document as you would with a standard email. Where the system deviates from the normal process is when it comes to adding your recipient. Instead of adding an email address, you input your recipient&#8217;s fax number followed by a unique eFax domain address. Then you hit the send button.<\/p><p>Instead of going straight to your recipient, the message is sent to the eFax fax servers.

These are:\n<ul style=\"padding:0 0 0 0\">\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>The Ability to Submit Documents to Fax Machines<\/strong><\/h4>\nYou cannot send an email to a fax machine directly. The two technologies are not compatible. With eFax email faxing, however, you can. Our solutions enable you to use our fax servers to submit emails to fax machines with zero fuss. Email fax expands your business&#8217;s fax capabilities.<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Enhance the Legal Authenticity of Online Documents<\/strong><\/h4>\nEmail is notoriously susceptible to slowdowns, inconsistencies, manipulation and more. As a result, emails are not thought to be authentic legal documents and are rarely considered for legal proceedings. However, fax documents are much more acceptable. This is because of their method of transmission, which features more accurate timestamps and dates. By using eFax email fax services, you can improve the authenticity of your data transmissions and ensure documents support legal procedures when necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20f200a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20f200a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Are The Benefits of Using Email Fax for Your Business?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d92086 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d92086\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is email fax if not a new-age solution to your faxing requirements? This means there are many advantages to incorporating email fax into your business processes.\n<ul style=\"padding:15px 0 0 0;\">\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Remove Fax Machines from Your Workplace<\/strong><\/h4>\nFax machines are slow, expensive and prone to security breaches. By moving to eFax, you can send your fax from your email accounts, removing the need for traditional fax machines altogether.<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Keep Things Simple<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhen it comes to upgrading fax processes, the last thing you want is to overcomplicate things with new systems and technology. Email fax works like normal email but with just one tweaked step. This means that the practice is very familiar for your staff, requiring no additional training or hardware. eFax makes updating your business communication easy!<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Fax From Anywhere<\/strong><\/h4>\nIf you have an internet connection and you can access your email, you can now send a fax. Our email fax platform is compatible with all smartphones with email access, including Android and iPhone. You don\u2019t have to rely on immobile physical fax machines anymore; you can enjoy the flexibility of entirely remote faxing.<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Send Large Files Quickly<\/strong><\/h4>\nUsing email fax means you can simply upload files and send them. eFax allows for documents up to 3GB in size to be faxed at once. You no longer need to spend time walking to the other side of the office, waiting in a queue and feeding page after page into a fax machine. Fast fax is just one click or tap away!<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Send Fax to Multiple Recipients at Once<\/strong><\/h4>\nWith eFax email fax, you can submit the same fax message and attached documents to up to five recipients at any one time. Dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to send multiple fax documents by sending them to multiple machines using email fax.<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Manage Your Fax Documents Easily<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhen you send a fax through email, or somebody sends a fax to you, it is saved and archived in your document management system. Safely stored on the secure eFax cloud servers, your fax documentation is easily accessible for both new users and referrals whenever you need it.<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<h4><strong>Update Your Technology without Losing Connectivity<\/strong><\/h4>\nFax machines are dated technology, and many businesses are seeking to remove them from their practices. However, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2community.com\/tech-gadgets\/why-faxing-will-outlive-us-all-01297384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">billions of fax still sent each year<\/a>, by removing fax completely, you exclude yourself from certain communication channels. Not so with eFax.
