Sending & Receiving Faxes

The UC-Line Portal allows designated users to send faxes via email (email-to-fax). In addition, you can add a fax line to your account and then receive faxes as .PDF file attached to emails that are automatically sent to a designated email address (fax-to-email).

Please Note: Outbound faxes are subject to the fair usage agreement. Please refer to the terms and conditions for UC-Line.

1. Fax Setup

Fax is enabled by default for every User-level account. It must be disabled manually. This must be done in the [Settings] tab of the Users Profile section.
