The faxing process is designed to be quick and efficient, but several factors can influence the time it takes to receive a fax. In this article, we'll discuss the typical delivery times for faxes and provide guidance on resolving potential issues.
Fax delivery time factors
Fax length: The length of the fax document can impact delivery time. Typically, a 10-page fax takes less than 5 minutes to transmit, but longer documents may take longer.
Phone line quality: The quality of the phone line used for faxing can affect transmission speed. A stable and clear phone connection is essential for fast fax delivery.
Sender's fax device: The sender's fax machine or service also plays a role. Some older or slower devices may transmit faxes more slowly.
We understand the importance of timely fax delivery. We strive to ensure that faxes are sent as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimize any delays.
Troubleshooting
If you're experiencing delays in receiving faxes, consider the following steps:
Verify correct fax number: Double-check with the sender to confirm that they have the correct fax number for you. Typos or incorrect numbers can lead to fax delivery failures. Please note that the sender must enter your number in full with the country code.
Sender's responsibility: If the problem persists, advise the sender to contact their fax provider. They may need to troubleshoot issues on their end, such as poor line quality or configuration problems.
Test your number: You can also send a test fax to your own number to verify that it’s working properly.
Ask the sender to resend: It's also useful to resend a fax and check if it was received again.
If you double-checked the fax number with the sender and verified that the sender's fax machine is working properly, but the fax still hasn't come through, please reach out to our team with the following details so we can investigate further:
The time and date the fax was sent.
The fax number from which the fax was expected.
Any error messages (if applicable).
Providing this information will help us troubleshoot the issue more effectively.
