Add a fax to the Fax Queue and Send a Fax Batch

For practices that have configured integrated faxes, you will be able to electronically fax any document that you can print out of the application.  When necessary, you may want to fax several separate items out all at the same time in a batch.  This is done by adding the necessary documents to a Fax Queue and sending at a later time.

  1. Select the print icon for any document or screen that you are on.
  2. When the Print Preview window appears, locate the Add to Fax Queue button.  This is usually found in the upper right-hand corner or along the toolbar. Once clicked, this document will be added to the fax queue.  
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as many times as necessary to build the desired fax queue.
