The printed report a fax machine produces to confirm whether a sent fax actually went through, and Fax.Plus's digital version of that same proof.
- A transmission verification report is the printout a traditional fax machine generates after sending, showing success or failure.
- It typically lists the recipient's number, the date and time, the page count, and the transmission result.
- Many machines only print one automatically when a fax fails, requiring a setting change to print one every time.
- Fax.Plus replaces the paper printout with a digital Advanced Confirmation Report, available from the Sent folder for every fax.
What Is a Transmission Verification Report?
A transmission verification report is the printout a traditional fax machine generates after sending, showing whether the transmission succeeded or failed. A typical report lists the recipient's number, the date and time, the page count, and the result, everything needed to prove a fax actually went out.
Why It Often Goes Unseen
Many machines only print one automatically when a fax fails, leaving successful sends with no paper trail unless someone changes the setting to print a report every time. That default catches people off guard when they need proof the document in question actually went out.
Fax.Plus's Digital Equivalent
Fax.Plus replaces the paper printout with the confirmation page every sent fax gets, generated automatically and available from the Sent folder for every fax, not just the ones that failed. It carries the same core facts, the date, time, and page count, plus a thumbnail of the first page and a QR code for verifying it. The underlying specific fax record stays available in the account for as long as it's kept.
A Common Case: The Missing Printout
An office worker checks a shared fax machine's paper tray for the transmission verification report after sending an important document, only to find nothing printed because the setting was left on "errors only." A cloud account would have shown the same proof on screen the moment the fax went out, with no tray to check and nothing to lose.
Veelgestelde vragen
Does Fax.Plus print a transmission verification report?
No. Fax.Plus generates a digital Advanced Confirmation Report for every sent fax instead, available from the Sent folder, so there's nothing to print or lose.
Does a fax machine print a transmission verification report for every fax?
Not by default. Most machines only print one automatically when a fax fails, so seeing proof of a successful send usually requires changing that setting first.
