How to Fax From Mac in 5 Easy Steps

Use Mac’s Built-In Hardware To Send a Fax

You can also utilize built-in hardware to send faxes from a Mac. As long as your Mac has a phone line input built into it, you can use the computer’s built-in fax modem to send a fax without needing an external fax machine.

If your Mac does have this hardware built in, follow these steps to send a fax from nearly any application:

1. Plug the phone line into your Mac
2. Open the document that you want to send
3. Select File at the top of the window, then click Print
4. Click PDF at the bottom of the window, then select Fax PDF from the drop-down menu
5. In the To field, enter the recipient’s fax number
6. Click Use Cover Page and type in a subject line and message
7. Select Fax

If you need to send a fax from a Mac in a pinch and don’t have access to standard equipment, you can use this method to get the job done with your Mac’s built-in hardware.

Keep in mind that, to send faxes with your Mac’s built-in hardware, you will also need an active landline. This will add another bill to your monthly expense list, and if you don’t have any phone line outlets, you may require someone to come out to set up your landline.

 In order to avoid these additional costs and inconveniences while sending faxes from mac using an online fax service is your best option.
