The m3i Fax Service enables you to send faxes from m3i enabled MFD. The service works through a fax gateway, this is often known as email to fax.

The service works by creating an email to which it attaches your scanned images. This email can be sent via your corporate mail server, your ISP’s mail server or a public mail server. It is then routed to your account at the fax gateway which we will set up on your request.
