Is it possible to use my multifunction printer to fax over the Internet?

Question

I just bought a nice multifunction printer, that has auto-document feeder and faxing capability. However, I do not have a land-line (I rely only on my cell phone service). Is there a way to get my fax / scanner / printer to fax over the Internet?

Answer 1

The fax is just scanning the paper you want to send, converting it to an electronic form. The print or fax capability simply sends the now-electronic document to a printer, or a fax number, or, if you wish, to an address on the internet.

Easier still, just scan the document, and then send it as an e-mail to wherever you want it to go.

Answer 2

Yes.
It is all about being able to get a phone connection to a fax. Skype could do the trick.

Answer 3

scan the document and save as a file then e-mail the file.

Or if you are printing, sometimes the printer driver will have the option of saving as a .pdf file. You can then e-mail the pdf file.

Answer 4

Their are services that you can use to fax over the Internet but all of them cost money. www.efax.com, myfax.com are just two of over 30 i have seen.
