# E-Fax How To Guide

## Sending a Fax

Faxes sent out must be sent from the specific authorized email address which is designated on account setup.  If you aren't sure which email address is the authorized address please contact [Accent Support](https://www.accentvoice.com/tech-support) for verification.

Faxes are sent outbound via email by sending to the destination 10-digit phone number @faxtrunk.us. &#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, to send a fax via email to (740) 555-1234 the destination address in the email would be **<7405551234@faxtrunk.us>**.   &#x20;
{% endhint %}

Attach the document you wish to send to the email prior to sending.  Accepted file formats are .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .TXT, and .RTF.

## Receiving a Fax

Faxes can be sent from any traditional fax machine to your designated fax phone number and are received to the authorized account email address with a .PDF file attached to the email.
