Receiving faxes

The InterFAX Internet fax service lets you receive faxes to your registered email address with no hardware or software installations.

At the end of the registration process you are provided with your own personal fax number, which is a regular telephone fax number which you can then inform your clients, suppliers and colleagues of, and any fax sent to that number will be automatically forwarded to the email address provided during registration, or specified in Settings.

Once you have received a fax you can download, file, forward, print and delete your faxes just like a regular email message.

You can also open faxes by logging into the InterFAX control panel, via our website, and navigating to your Inbox, where you can open received faxes in the InterFAX document viewer to view, download and use advanced features such as the blackout tool.

To view faxes in the InterFAX document viewer

  • Log in to your user,
  • Navigate to your ‘Inbox’ and locate the received fax in your queue,

Send Fax Window

  • Click on the fax in the queue to open in the Document Viewer or use the ‘More Options’ link on the right hand side and select ‘View’.
  • For more information on using the advanced features of the Document Viewer, please visit the support section here.
