One of the nice features about the Kinect2Fax solution is the ability for our customers to not only, send and receive from an online portal, but also the added convenience of being able to send/receive faxes from email.
Please note: This feature will only work from an email address associated with an active account in our system. If you don’t have an account from Kinect Communications, please contact your account representative at 833-454-6328.
Addressing the email
To send a fax from email, compose a message from your email. In the To: field, type the 11-digit fax number (ex. 17269004810) followed by @fax.kinect2fax.com. (see below example)
***IMPORTANT***
It is important to always use an 11-digit fax number when formatting the email. That includes adding a “1” for any USA or Canada number.
Populating information onto a cover page
If you have your cover page setting turned on in your user portal, our Kinect2Fax solution will automatically take details from your email and populate it directly onto a cover page.
Email subject line will populate RE: field of the cover page (see screenshot below).
Body of the email will populate the Comments field of the cover page (see screenshot below).
Attach your document you want to fax to your email
When sending a fax from email you can attach multiple document types (see below). You can attach a single document or multiple documents (varying formats is fine) and they will be rendered, converted to a faxable format, and sent to your destination fax number.
Once your documents are attached, simple hit SEND. That’s it! We will take care of the rest.
Allowed Email Attachments:
- Image files (GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF)
- 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 fil, always choose the option of black and white for the output.
