Filed under: Send Fax From Computer
go to my computer right click/properties/device manager. look for your modem and see if its a fax modem. if it is then you just need some fax software. just google fax software or go to the manufacturer of the modem and see if they have some. then set it up and scan in or find what you want to fax and the software will help you
You need a fax modem, a phone line and suitable software. It will cost you the price of a regular phone call to whereever the destination is.

Your question is a little vague. Are you trying to send faxes via internet? Are you scanning the document locally and wating to send the fax via fax machine but control distribution from your computer?
CAN I SEND A FAX FROM THE INTERNET?
Yes. There are many services that will let you use the Internet to send faxes. Some are free while others are pay services. Some services require that you can send and receive electronic mail, or that you have Web access. Others require you to install special software on your computer.
Some services allow you to receive faxes, too. When you receive a fax at a special number, it is delivered via e-mail address or available for viewing on the Web. Some commercial services include bulk faxing and other special features.
FAXING FROM THE WEB AND E-MAIL
These services allow you to send faxes using any Web browser or e-mail client, without installing special fax software on your computer.

For only $10 monthly (or $110 per year) you get 100 outgoing fax pages and 200 incoming pages each month.
Additional pages cost 10 cents each. There’s no set-up fee or other hidden fees. You can receive your faxes as PDF or TIFF files in up to three email accounts, or view them on the

FAXING FROM THE DESKTOP
These services allow you to send a fax using an application on your Internet-connected computer (rather than by accessing a Web page or sending e-mail.) You do not need a fax modem. These tools often let you send formatted, graphical faxes directly from your favorite applications.

eFax
The eFax Plus service provides a local or toll-free number which delivers incoming faxes to your e-mail account. This requires viewer software, which is available for Windows and MacOS 7.5-X.
