Receiving Faxes into my E-Mail
Receiving Faxes into my E-Mail Box
As an Impact Fax subscriber, you will be able to receive and send your faxes from you E-Mail. Impact Fax will provide you with a Fax number which you will give out to your customers as your fax number. This number can be either a Toll Free number or a number out of Ohio or Indiana. Any fax sent to this number will be received by Impact Fax's secure mainframe, converted and sent to the email address you choose as a PDF file attachment. (Acrobat Reader will open this type of file). At this point you will have a digital image of your fax and you can save it on your computer in a customer's file and retrieve later as needed.
If you do not want to publish a new fax number for your office you can call forward your fax line to the Fax Toll Free number or other number provided to you. The call forwarding will NOT affect outbound calling on that line. Incoming faxes can be call forwarded at the same time that you are also sending out faxes from your fax machine.

How can I cancel my current fax line
If you are interested in canceling your current fax line in order to save in costs you can do so by doing the following:
Publish your fax number as the Fax number given to you by Impact Fax and plug your fax machine into your phone system just like a regular telephone set that makes outbound calls from your office.
- OR -
Continue to
use you existing fax number by call forwarding it to the Fax number and replace
your last line in your phone system with you fax line which will now be
available for outbound calls only. For example, your office currently has 4
voice lines and one fax line. The four voice lines are in a hunt group. If you
cancel the fourth line in the hunt group (leaving three line that will roll over
if the other is busy) and connect you existing fax line into you phone system
(making it available to be used for out going calls only) the fax line can still
be call forwarded to the Fax number and still be available to fax out on.

Why would I choose a Toll Free number over a Non-Toll Free number
A reason to use the Toll Free Fax number would be to keep your customer from having to dial a long distance number to send a Fax to your office or so you do not have to call forward you existing line to a long distance number. By using the Fax toll Free number you are paying a slightly higher price per page but this includes the Toll Free Long Distance rate charged to Impact Fax which is 2 cents per minute (the average fax transmission is 1 page per minute). If your office lines have long distance included in the line charge or if your long distance rate for your office is less than 2 cents per minute, you will want to call forward your fax line to the non-Toll Free Fax number given to you with a lower rate per page.
Impact Fax service is HIPAA compliant. As such, all fax transmissions are considered private and confidential between the sender and intended recipient. Fax transmissions are received and immediately transmitted to only the intended recipient's email address. If the recipient's email system supports encryption, the email transmission is encrypted.
The Fax transmission is not stored or maintained on the Impact Fax system so recipients should not rely on any form of Fax transmission recovery by Impact Fax. The Impact Fax system is fully automated and requires no human oversight or involvement for proper operation thus further ensuring privacy and confidentiality of transmissions.
Simply tell Impact Fax how many Fax numbers you want (Non-Toll Free or Toll Free number) and what email address the faxes should be forwarded to and we will do the rest. Let us know if you will want to also send faxes from directly from your E-Mail program. You will be notified of your I-Fax number and be asked for monthly billing information and it's time to start using I-Fax.
