With the Easy Fax feature, users can fax their scanned documents in just two steps; all they need to do is tap the Easy Fax button on the home screen of the embedded terminal, and then type the fax number.

By adding multiple Easy Fax action nodes and giving rights to different users or groups, you can create a variety of faxing options for the selected users and groups

To enable the feature on a printing device, you need to enable the Fax module option on its properties panel in MyQ, deactivate and reactivate the device. Go to MyQ, Settings, Configuration Profiles. Select the configuration profile and click Edit (or double-click, or right-click and Edit). The properties panel opens on the right side. In the General tab, mark the Fax module checkbox. Click Save.

On the Parameters tab, you can select from a number of options for each parameter.

All parameters are dependent on the particular printing device type. Therefore, some parameters and/or values might not be available.
