Is there a particular app that allows the Kaiser (TyTN II) to send faxes? I have several PDF documents a word documents that need to be sent as a fax.

How is it possible?

I would also like to know this info. That would be sweet if I could fax signed docs right from my Tilt.

Efax offers free fax numbers which can be used for both send and receiving via your email program and they have a handheld client. Give it a look.

I think that it has been said many times in different threads that starting WM5 none of the devices have fax capability.

1) There is no software available you can use to send faxes directly from your WM5 / WM6 device

2) These devices cannot be used as a fax modem to send faxes from a PC Program like WinFax Pro

I believe the devices are fax capable.

I use myfax. I have a word doc or excel or pdf on my device and send it to xxxxxxxxxx@myfax.com (where xxxxxxxxxx is the fax number to send the fax). To get faxes I have them sent as an attachment via email or a number which in my case I chose a toll free number. The plan is for 10$/month flat.

This is worth looking into... I have no complaints yet.

Ok well thats the next best thing!
So how do you send a pdf file? As I understand it, the fax I send needs to be in the form of an email . i,e: no word,image or pdf attachments. Or am I mistaken? Have you tried it?

I've just started looking into this, so the MyFax offering was very appealing....according to their FAQ, the following is true....
2. Can I send multiple documents in one fax?

Yes, you can send up to eight documents in one fax as attachments. MyFax supports 48 different file formats, including PDF, Microsoft Word and Excel.


So it looks as though you send an email and attach the file(s) you want faxed; this is pretty much like the Captaris Rightfax software I use in the office.

I'm in the UK, so I'll take a look at the UK offering from MyFax and see if it's the same as the US....

Right, you send it as an email and add the document to send as an attachment. Any faxes
you receive will be attachments in pdf format. I use this every day in the field. Works great if you don't have a printer available to print docs...just send 'em to a nearby fax machine.
This solution also supports many different file formats...too many to list here. Check it out.
