How to Send a Fax Message Online

Sending fax messages is usually done using a fax machine. But if you don’t have a fax machine and you still want to send a fax message, you can still do it through the internet. But to do this you need to buy fax software and a fax modem. Here’s how to check if you already have a fax modem on your computer:

• Click Start then Control Panel.
• Select Printers and Other Hardware.
• Click Phone and Modem Options then select Modems tab. The fax modem should appear on the window. If it didn’t, it means you don’t have it yet on your computer and you need to purchase one.
• Install the fax modem on your computer. The device is automatically detected upon startup. Install its driver that comes with the package if Windows doesn’t have its driver.
• After that install the fax software and then run it.
• To send a fax message: click New Fax then enter the recipient’s name, company, and fax number. Attach the document you wish to fax then click Send. Optionally, you may include a cover letter if you wish.

If you are using Windows Vista Premium and or Business edition, you don’t need to buy a separate fax software because “Windows Fax and Scan” is already integrated with the operating system.
