With online fax, you can send faxes by email, your online account, Microsoft applications and even by phone. Outgoing online fax documents don't tie up your computer or phone line; simply press send-that's all there is to it. No more busy signals. No more waiting for a fax to transmit. When it is successfully transmitted, your account will be notified.

Sending an online fax
Send an online fax by entering the fax number in the email address field, and adding "@rcfax.com." Text that you want to appear on the Cover Page of your online fax is simply entered into the Subject field. Then attach the documents that you want to fax and press send. To send an online fax from your desktop, simply open any printable document and click the online fax icon in the toolbar. Fill in the boxes found in the InternetFax tool and press send.

You can also send an online fax from any Internet connection by logging into your RingCentral account and clicking the icon at the top right of your account screen. The InternetFax tool will appear. Fill in the boxes and send. To send an online fax via your Call Controller, simply click the online fax button on your Call Controller; the InternetFax tool appears for you to fill in the boxes and send. You can also designate an extension for on-demand online fax. To do so, choose an extension and upload an online fax document to it. When a caller dials the extension number, a prompt will ask them to enter the number where they wish to receive the online fax.

Receiving an online fax
When you sign up with RingCentral, the toll free or local number you get with your service becomes your new online fax number. Incoming faxes go into your online account and are delivered according to your preferences. Faxing does not tie up your lines; callers will never hear a busy signal. Online fax documents are stored in your account for 30 days or you can download them to your PC for permanent storage.

Editing and annotating faxes
All RingCentral plans include RingCentral online fax capabilities and RingCentral FaxEditor tools. The award-winning FaxEditor tool lets you add text and graphics or a signature, and create custom cover sheets with your corporate logo.
