Desktop Faxing : Fax Server

Faculty and Staff now have the ability to send and receive faxes from their on-campus computer using Outlook.

The steps involved in sending a fax from the desktop are similar to composing an email message.

To send a message from Outlook:

  • Open a new E-Mail message
  • In the "To" field, address the fax as in the example below - be sure to include the [ ] and the fax: symbols.
  • In the subject line enter a one line description
  • In the message box, enter the text for your fax
  • You can also attach a Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint document as you would in an email message

The telephone number you use should be the fax number you are trying to send to.
On campus [fax:John Doe@5555] 
Off Campus Local [fax:Jane Doe@9 508 555 1212]
Off Campus Long Distance      [fax:Joe Doe@88 1 508 555 1212#PAC Code]

Reminder:  We do encourage you to use email as your first choice when communicating.  For hardcopy documents that are not on your hard drive, you will still need to use a standalone fax machine.  A list of fax machines can be found in the campus directory.
