Sending a fax from a printer with PaperCut installed

Issue/Question

  • The printer I use is now on PaperCut. How can I send a fax?
  • How do I send a fax to a PaperCut printer?

Environment

Multif-function print/scan/fax devices that are configured by IT to support faxing will continue to send and receive faxes exactly as they could before PaperCut. There is an additional step to access the fax preferences. The steps below will guide you through those steps.

Resolution

To access the Fax options and preferences from PaperCut, follow these steps:

  •  Sign in to PaperCut at the device, either vy tapping your OneCard ID or using your username and password on the device.
  • Tap the Device Functions button.
