How to Fax with Ur Mac?

Post by k o star » Mon May 18, 2009 2:35 pm

I'm wondering if there's any way I can fax a document overseas... armed with only a scanner, macbook and internet connection... whereby I scan that document... onto my macbook... and using my macbook and internet conn as a fax machine... over to the fax machine of the other party far far away?Is that possible?Is there any program that can make Ur macbook behave just like a fax? ...and also write & produce kicka$$ hit songs for U on a daily basis?Puzzled,Kel

If you can scan it as a jpeg, you can select print and then choose the pdf option, save as a pdf and then e-mail it to the other party. If they have e-mail, that is.Like Vikki said, there's services that will allow you to send a fax of a scanned document if you really need to do it that way. Once it's a jpeg you should be able to do it.HTH,Mazz

Here's some info from a Mac site on how to fax from your printer window. I've not done it myself, as I have a free standing fax machine, but this sounds pretty nifty:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html ... tmlHTH,Suz
