Do You Need a Number to Send a Fax to an Email Address?
Back in the 90's people were scared of online faxes. Nowadays people cringe at the thought of sending the fax to a "standard" fax machine. Using an online fax is really the best way to go these days. Trying to setup WinFax or one of the other "computer-based" fax software is complicated and you have to always have the machine turned on. With the cost of online numbers being below $10 a month in most cases, why wouldn't you have an online flexible number?
Whether sending a few pages or replacing that gigantic Ricoh machine, each service offers small plans that can expand as your company grows.
The best feature about getting an online fax number is you don't to trouble yourself with whether the fax is on or whether it has paper or toner. Your fax machine is on twenty-four hours per day and your paper is always loaded. Matter of fact, it only uses paper when you decide to print, so you won't feel so guilt-ridden next time you are in the forest and those trees are looking at you.
Online faxes are received through email. Some of the companies like efax have software to install but the trend nowadays is to use the .tiff or .pdf format. Those two file formats are like mathematics in that they are pretty much universal.
To add a signature in the simplest way, use a product called SnagIt by Techsmith. Scan your signature in to your computer and then open the file with SnagIt. Copy the picture and then open the .tiff file of the fax that you received. Paste your signature where you want it and then print it to PDF with a free application called PrimoPDF. The result is a new PDF with your signature in place. Pretty cool.
