Fax sending options

When sending faxes via GFI FaxMaker Online using one of the possible methods, configure the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
Subject	The subject is used as the fax subject and shown in the fax coverpage, if this is configured to be included in GFI FaxMaker Online.
Email body	The email body is shown in the fax coverpage, if this is configured to be included in GFI FaxMaker Online.
Attachment	Attach up to five files that are in a supported file format. GFI FaxMaker Online adds the contents of attachments to the fax. The total file size of all attachments cannot exceed 10MB. Supported file types: .DOC, DOCX - Microsoft Word .XLS, XLSX - Microsoft Excel .PPT, PPTX - Microsoft PowerPoint .TIF/TIFF - Tagged Image File Format .TXT - Plain Text .HTML - Hypertext Markup Language .RTF - Rich Text Format .PDF - Adobe Portable Document Format .JPG - JPEG images .VSD - Visio drawings .GIF - Graphics Interchange Format NOTE: When sending faxes using the GFI FaxMaker Client printer driver, faxes are converted to fax format on client machine, not on the GFI FaxMaker Online server. This allows sending faxes from unsupported file types. For more information refer to Printing content to GFI FaxMaker Client.
Fax recipient	In the To field, enter the recipient's fax number. The fax number must include the international dial symbol "+", the country and area codes. These are required even when sending faxes locally, for example, from United States to United States. Do not use hyphens, spaces or dashes between any parts of the fax number. When sending faxes using an email client, key in the fax number in the following format: `faxnumber@gfifax.com`. Replace `faxnumber` with the full recipient’s fax number. You can key in up to five recipient numbers, using the same format for each and separated with a semi-colon (`;`). For example: `+441273123456@gfifax.com; +420313414515@gfifax.com;` Example 1: When sending a fax to a Czech Republic number `313-414-515` use `+420313414515`. Where: `+` is the international dial prefix `420` is the Czech Republic country code `313414515` is the fax number Example 2: Sending a fax to a UK number, with area code `01273`, and number `123-456`. In this case use `+441273123456`. Where: `+` is the international dial prefix `44` is the UK country code `1273` is the area code (in the case of the UK the preceding 0 is dropped when using the international dial number) `123456` is the fax number Example 3: Sending a fax from a US city to another number within the same city. The area/city code is `718` and the recipient's fax number is `123-4567`. In this case use `+17181234567`. Where: `+` is the international dial prefix (required even though you are sending fax in the same city) `1` is the US country code `718` is the area/city code `1234567` is the recipient's fax number
