How to View Received Faxes From the Web

Introduction

The home office is getting ever more compact, and there are now machines that can perform many different tasks all in one small package. One facet of this trend is the ability to send and receive faxes using your computer and an Internet connection. Follow these steps to view received faxes from the Web.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Steps

1

Step One

Buy an online faxing program. Programs run around $10 a month and usually allow all faxed communications (in and out) to be viewed and sent through an email account.

Step Two

Make sure your computer is constantly connected to the Internet. As the fax travels through your Internet connection and not a fax machine, you won't receive the fax unless you're online.

Receive a fax automatically or manually by answering as the fax comes in. Unanswered faxes will be stored in your software's inbox or your email account.

Step Four

Go to your fax program's inbox or your email account and locate the fax you've received.

Click on the fax in your fax program's inbox or email, then print it or read it off the screen.
