How to Send a Fax from a Printer or MFP?

Most modern printers no longer have a physical fax line. A multifunction printer (MFP), also called an all-in-one, can still fax through Fax.Plus using two features it already has: Scan to Email for sending, and Email to Print for receiving. Here is how to set up both.

Send a fax from your MFP with Scan to Email

1
Make sure the outgoing email address configured on your MFP matches the email address you sign in to Fax.Plus with. This is what authorizes the fax.
2
Place the document on the scanner glass or in the feeder, then select Email (or Scan to Email) on the printer control panel.
3
In the To field, enter the recipient's fax number with country and area code, followed by @fax.plus. Example: +16692001010@fax.plus
4
Send the email. Fax.Plus converts the scan into a fax and emails you a delivery confirmation once it reaches the recipient.

Faxing from a specific printer brand?

Steps vary slightly by manufacturer. Pick your printer brand for the exact setup.

HP Printers

Set up scan-to-email and fax directly from HP all-in-one printers, with or without a phone line.

Canon Printers

Send and receive faxes from Canon multi-function printers using Fax.Plus, no landline required.

Brother Printers

Configure scan-to-email or Email-to-Fax on your Brother MFP to fax straight from the device.

MFP integration: receive faxes on your printer

If your MFP supports Email to Print, incoming faxes can be printed automatically. Follow these steps to connect your printer to your Fax.Plus account:

1
Login to your Fax.Plus account, and go the Profile section on your Dashboard.
2
Klik onder het tabblad Algemeen op Bewerken in het vak Meldingen.
3
Selecteer naast E-mail de optie Aanpassen. U heeft nu toegang tot uw instellingen voor E-mailmeldingen.
4
Zorg ervoor dat de Melding ontvangen fax is ingesteld op Aan (waarschuwen en fax toevoegen aan bericht).
5
Activeer de optie Meerdere e-mailontvangers en voeg het unieke e-mailadres van uw printer toe als een van de ontvangers.
6
Click on Confirm to save the modification. Every new fax received will be automatically forwarded to your printer’s email address and printed out, while encrypted copies will also be stored within your Faxes section on your Dashboard.

Veelgestelde vragen

Kan ik faxen vanaf mijn printer?

Not every printer can fax on its own, but most multi-function printers can if they support Scan to Email. Fax.Plus turns that scanned email into a real fax: just address it to the recipient's fax number followed by @fax.plus, and it sends automatically.

Is a fax machine the same as a printer?

No. A fax machine is a dedicated device that only sends and receives faxes over a phone line. A printer, even a multi-function one, only gains fax capability through built-in hardware or a workaround like scan-to-email paired with a service like Fax.Plus.

Kan ik faxen vanaf een printer zonder telefoonlijn?

Yes. Any printer with WiFi and a scan-to-email feature can fax through Fax.Plus with no phone line at all. See our full guide on faxing without a phone line for brand-specific setup steps.

Is faxing from a printer with Fax.Plus secure?

Yes. Every fax is encrypted at rest with 256-bit AES and in transit with TLS/SSL, whether it's sent from a printer, computer, or phone. Your scanned documents and delivery confirmations are protected the same way regardless of how you send them.

Is Fax.Plus HIPAA-compliant?

Fax.Plus offers HIPAA-compliant faxing with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on the Enterprise plan. This includes the encryption, audit logging, and access controls healthcare teams need to fax patient documents from a printer or any other device.

Where can I go to fax something if I don't have a printer?

Physical locations like FedEx, the post office, or a library can fax for you, usually at a high per-page rate and limited hours. With Fax.Plus, you don't need a printer, a fax machine, or to go anywhere: send and receive faxes securely from your computer or phone instead.

No Printer? No Problem

Printer not nearby, or want to fax from somewhere else? Here's how to send from any device, prep your documents, and cover the basics.
