1. Start a fax draft in FaxCan. Use the private email address for that draft.
2. Send the attachment to that address. In your email, put the draft’s address in the To field and attach the file.
3. Return to the draft in your browser. Check the recipient’s fax number and cover sheet. Look through each page.
4. Confirm in FaxCan. Only then does FaxCan dial.

Live status shows dialling, sending and delivered. “Delivered” means the receiving machine confirmed the pages. You get a receipt by email with the PDF and delivery status.

PDF, iPhone photos (HEIC), JPG, PNG, TIFF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF and text are accepted. Each fax can be up to 40 pages and 99 MB.

FaxCan reads your document and suggests the recipient’s fax number, Attn, company and Re. It only suggests fax numbers printed in the document. Tap a suggestion to use it. When unsure, it says “please check”. It never dials on its own.

Give the sender your FaxCan number. Their fax arrives in your email as a PDF. Read the fax-to-email guide.
