Below is a list of the document types Broadview networks Fax service supports: JPG, PDF, Adobe PostScript, TIFF, Microsoft Word, Excel, CSV, HTML & Plain Text formats
using youR email addRess Book FoR Faxing With Broadview Networks Fax Service, you can use any existing e-mail address book to store frequently used fax numbers. Here’s how:
1. create an address book entry. Give it a distinctive name that tells you the message is going out as a fax, for example, “Janet’s Fax”.
That way, if “Janet” already has a traditional e-mail address stored in your address book, the name “Janet’s Fax” will let you decide easily between sending to her fax number or to her e-mail.
2. type the person’s fax number followed by “@emailyourfax” as the e-mail address.
For example: “[email protected]”
When you want to fax to this person, just compose an e-mail to their fax email address (“Janet’s Fax”).
tHeRe aRe a Few tHings you can do to maximize youR success wHen Faxing attacHments:
1. don’t send password-protected documents. The Broadview Fax service won’t be able to turn them into faxes,because it won’t know your password to “print” them into a faxable format.
2. make sure that any graphics or files that are referenced in your document are embedded in the document – not just “linked to.” If Broadview Fax service receives a document in your e-mail message that refers to a file, picture or a graphicthat only exists on your hard drive, we won’t be able to fax your document successfully.
3. do not send documents that contain embedded macros in your documents. The same goes for unusual fonts. If you use a font that Broadview Fax service doesn’t have, and the font isn’t otherwise embedded inside your document, The Broadview Fax service will substitute as similar a font as possible.
