This guide explains how to use Tele Express' eFax feature to send faxes directly from your email. This feature streamlines your workflow by eliminating the need for a physical fax machine.
Note: This feature only works with an email address associated with an active account on our system
To send a fax from your email, create a new email message as you normally would. In the To: field, type the 11-digit fax number (e.g., 18885551212), followed by @fax.telxpress.com
IMPORTANT: Always use an 11-digit fax number when addressing the email. This means you must include a "1" when faxing any number in the USA or Canada.
If your cover page setting is enabled, Tele Express' eFax will automatically extract details from your email and populate them onto a cover page.
The subject line of your email will populate the RE: field on the cover page.
The body of your email will populate the Comments field on the cover page.
The To: field on the cover page will default to the destination fax number. If you prefer to display the recipient's name or business instead, use the following format: Name <faxnumber>@fax.telxpress.com
You can attach multiple document types to your email, which will be converted to a fax-friendly format and sent to the destination fax number. Attachments can be a single document or multiple documents in varying formats. Once your documents are attached, simply click SEND.
Allowed Email Attachments:
Image Files (TIFF, GIF, PNG, JPEG)
Adobe Acrobat Files (PDF)
Microsoft Office Files (DOC, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX)
Printer File Formats (PCL, EPS, PS)
Text Files (TXT, RTF)
TIPS: If you create a file using a scanner or print to file, always choose the option of black and white for the output.
