How to send fax from Lexmark fax machine to FaxExtension?

Send fax from Lexmark using the FaxExtension cover page

A reliable and easy way to send fax from Lexmark to a recipient at FaxExtension is to use a cover page with a QR code (machine-readable recipient information). In this case, you don’t have to dial the recipient’s fax extension number, just the FaxExtension main number. This can quickly be done by following these steps:

  1. Create the cover page using 808sendfax.com online tool and enter the recipient’s extension number.
  2. Print the cover page.
  3. Send your fax to +1 808-SEND-FAX (+1 808-736-3329) while ensuring that the cover page you created in the previous steps is the first page of your fax.

This method only works for FaxExtension recipients with the main fax number +1 808-SEND-FAX (+1 808-736-3329). It may not work with other fax providers.

Sending a fax using the printer control panel

Use this method to send a fax from your physical Lexmark machine to a FaxExtension recipient:

  1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF (automatic document feeder), or facedown on the scanner glass.
  2. From the home screen, touch Fax.
  3. Enter the fax number or a shortcut using the touch screen or keypad. To send a fax to a recipient at FaxExtension, you must add pauses after the main number, followed by the recipient’s extension. So, type the recipient’s main fax number +1 808-SEND-FAX (i.e., +1 808-736-3329), followed by pauses and the recipient’s extension number. To place a dial pause, press the Pause symbol. The dial pause appears as a comma in the Fax to box. To enter longer pauses, press the Pause symbol multiple times. We recommend adding between 3 to 5 seconds of pause after the main number. E.g., if the recipient’s FaxExtension extension is 1234, then you should type the number as follows: +18087363329PausePausePause1234.
  4. Touch Fax It.

If you opt for sending a fax using the FaxExtension cover page, load this cover page as the first page of your document (see step 1). Then you can send a fax to FaxExtension main fax number +1 808-SEND-FAX (+1 808-736-3329), without adding pauses and the extension number (see step 3).

The procedure of sending a fax can differ depending on the model of your Lexmark.
