Common Troubleshooting Steps for Fax Sending Issues in Updox

Sending a fax can sometimes encounter difficulties. This guide provides solutions to common issues to help you send your fax successfully.

Correct Fax Number Format

  • Confirm the Fax Number: Ensure the recipient's fax number is correct and properly entered in the system.

  • Avoid Using '1' for US Numbers: For US-based faxes, use only the 10-digit fax number. Do not include the number '1' at the start, as this can cause the fax number to not save correctly, resulting in errors during transmission.

Additional Tips

  • Double-check recipient details and confirm that the number is a fax-capable line.

  • Call the recieving fax line to ensure a fax tone is received.

  • Try resending the fax if an issue persists, ask to speak with a live agent for further troubleshooting.

By following these simple steps, you can resolve many fax sending issues efficiently and avoid common errors.
