Use a fax-capable Canon printer with a working phone line, or scan your document to a file and send it through Fax.Plus. Without a phone line, upload the scan from your computer or phone. Direct Scan to Email depends on your Canon model and email setup.
Check your Canon model before choosing a method. Native fax needs a fax-capable printer and compatible telephone service. Fax.Plus uses your scanned file and an internet connection instead. A Wi-Fi connection does not replace the telephone line used by the built-in fax function.
Use this method only if your Canon model supports fax and is connected to working telephone service. Complete its fax setup first, including the sender name and number. Controls vary by model.
This method works when your Canon device can save a scan to a supported file, even without built-in fax or direct email. Use your model’s scanning software to create a PDF, then send it through Fax.Plus on an internet-connected computer. Use the Canon scanning software for your model to save the pages as a PDF. Open the file and check page order and readability.
Use direct Scan to Email only when your Canon printer supports sending attachments through a configured email server. Fax.Plus Email-to-Fax requires a paid plan, enabled access and enough credit or included pages. The actual sending email address must match your Fax.Plus user.
Use this route when your Canon scanner saves a file to your computer or opens your email app. Attach the saved scan to a message from the email address linked to Fax.Plus. A paid plan, enabled Email-to-Fax and enough sending allowance or credit are required.
Test your native Canon fax setup with a non-sensitive page. Canon publishes the US test destination 1-855-FX-CANON (1-855-392-2666). Its availability and return-fax behavior can change, so check Canon support for current instructions before relying on a reply.
Receiving requires a paid Fax.Plus plan with an assigned fax number. Download the fax and print it with your Canon printer. Automatic printing needs a supported model or service and separate setup. ASC accounts remain notify-only until an owner/admin accepts organization consent and each user enables attachments; the recipient server must support TLS 1.2 or above.
Set up incoming-fax alerts and optional attachments. ASC accounts default to notify-only. Organization consent and individual settings control attachments; automatic Canon printing still needs separate model support and setup.
A Canon printer can help you fax without a phone line by scanning your pages to a file. Upload that file to Fax.Plus from your computer or phone. Direct Scan to Email is another option only if your model and email configuration support it.
Yes. If your Canon device can scan to a file, save the pages as a PDF and upload it to Fax.Plus from your computer or phone. The sending device needs internet access. Direct Scan to Email is optional and depends on your printer model and configuration.
No. Canon models have different features, and scanning or Wi-Fi support does not mean built-in fax is included. Check your exact model’s specifications and manual. A printer with a scanner can still create a file to send with Fax.Plus, even without native fax hardware.
Check that the model supports fax, connect its LINE port to compatible working telephone service, and follow its fax setup guide. Enter the required sender name and number, choose receiving settings that match your line, then send a non-sensitive test page.
Eligible Fax.Plus accounts receive a one-time allowance of 10 free sending pages after mobile-number verification. Upload the Canon-scanned file through the web or mobile app and check destination eligibility. The allowance does not renew monthly. Email-to-Fax and receiving faxes require a paid plan.
Only with a supported printing workflow and separate setup. For ASC accounts, an owner/admin must accept organization consent before users enable attachments. Delivery requires a recipient server supporting TLS 1.2 or above. Otherwise, open the received fax in Fax.Plus and print it normally.
For native fax, check the printer’s transmission result or report using your model’s instructions. For a scan sent through Fax.Plus, check its final delivery status in your account or notification. A scan saved successfully, an email marked sent or a fax still queued is not delivery confirmation.
Check the method first. Native fax needs fax-capable hardware, working telephone service and the correct number. For online upload, check your internet connection, file and allowance. For direct Scan to Email, also verify model support, email-server settings, the authorized sender and paid Email-to-Fax access.
Prepare your scanned pages, try another device, or find help with fax delivery.
Scan your pages, send the saved file with Fax.Plus and check the delivery status. Use your computer or phone without a local fax line.
