Faxination FAQs
You have questions, we have answers.
How do I send faxes via email?
Faxination simplifies faxing by integrating with email clients like Outlook or Gmail. Compose an email, enter the fax number (e.g., 123456789@faxination.com), attach your document, and send. Faxination processes it into a fax-friendly format and confirms delivery. Supporting cloud fax, on-premise faxing, and digital faxing, it ensures secure, eco-friendly faxing while streamlining workflows.
Is cloud based faxing better than local servers for faxing?
Cloud faxing enables flexible and scalable faxing through our cloud based fax infrastructure, eliminating hardware needs. Local servers via on-premise faxing offer data control for sensitive environments. Faxination supports both and even bridges the two in hybrid setups, all of which allow for reliable and secure faxing tailored to your business needs.
Will my online faxes be secure and private?
Yes, Faxination ensures security with features like role-based access and compliance with standards such as HIPAA and GDPR. Whether you use cloud fax or on-premise faxing, your faxes are protected at every stage, with secure transmission and digital archiving for privacy and reliability.
How does fax work in VoIP environments?
VoIP-based faxing, or Fax over IP (FoIP), digitizes documents for internet transmission. Faxination bridges traditional faxing with VoIP systems, supporting protocols like T.38 and G.711 to ensure reliable delivery. It integrates seamlessly with cloud fax, digital faxing, and on-premise faxing, enabling cost-effective, secure, and flexible faxing workflows.
Can you send a fax from a cellular phone?
Yes, Faxination allows mobile users to send faxes via email. Open your email app, enter the fax number, attach the document, and send. It’s secure, supports cloud fax, and works with mobile devices, offering complete faxing flexibility on the go.
How can I receive a fax without a phone line?
Faxination eliminates the need for traditional phone lines by delivering faxes digitally through cloud fax. Set up a dedicated fax number, and incoming faxes are securely delivered to your email inbox, ensuring an eco-friendly and accessible solution.
What printers can be used for both printing and faxing?
Faxination integrates seamlessly with Multifunction Printers (MFPs). These printers can handle both printing and digital faxing. With cloud fax or on-premise faxing, you can manage document workflows efficiently while benefiting from digital and secure faxing.
Is there an additional cost for fax numbers?
Faxination’s cost for fax numbers will be configuration dependent. Cloud fax plans may include a nominal fee for hosting and scalability, while on-premise faxing adapts to your existing infrastructure, minimizing costs. You can port existing fax numbers or add as needed, ensuring flexibility and transparency.
Can I fax documents using VoIP?
Faxing documents over VoIP can present challenges because VoIP transmits data digitally, which may not be compatible with traditional fax machines that rely on analog signals. To overcome these issues, you can use a fax adapter, which converts digital signals back to analog, allowing standard fax machines to work over VoIP lines. Alternatively, using an online fax service can circumvent compatibility problems altogether by sending faxes through the internet, ensuring successful transmission without relying on analog technology.
