Send the document from your phone
- Add your file. You can use a PDF or an iPhone photo, including HEIC.
- Check the recipient’s number. Review any cover-sheet suggestions against the document.
- Preview each page. Make sure you can read it and that you have attached the document you meant to send.
- Confirm the fax. FaxCan waits for your confirmation before dialling.
- Check delivery. 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.
If the file is in your email
Send the attachment to the private email address on a fax draft. Return to the browser to preview it and confirm. Sending the email does not dial the fax.
Check any suggested cover-sheet details
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.
