Fax
Telephony / Fax
You can send faxes using the FRITZ!Box user interface. No extra fax machine is required. Graphic files in JPG or PNG format can be appended to any fax transmission.
Sending Faxes
Requirements
- The fax function is configured.
Maximum Fax Length
A maximum of two A4 pages can be transmitted as a fax. When a fax with an appended graphic file is sent, the second page is reserved for the graphic file.
When sending a fax it is not always apparent that the entire text was transmitted. However, you can check that they were sent completely after the fact. To do this, enable forwarding by email in the configuration of the fax function. Then the FRITZ!Box will automatically forward to your email address all faxes sent as well as those received.
Instructions: Entering Sender Information
