How do I add new employees to the E-Fax service? When a new employee is hired, they receive an email address from DePaul (username@depaul.edu). The supervisor then emails NetAdmin@depaul.edu with the user's name, username, fax number/email, and a request stating the new employee needs access to the E-Fax system.
Will my fax number change?
The E-Fax system will be setup using a new bank of numbers i.e. (312) 476-XXXX. This provides uniformity and allows Information Services the ability to distinguish between fax numbers and phone lines. On conversion to E-Fax your department will be assigned a new fax number. However, your old fax number will continue to function (your existing fax number will be forwarded to the new line) as it does today. We do request that when you update your stationary, business cards, etc. you use the new fax number.
I am unable to send a fax via my email account, how can I get this working? At the time of implementation of E-Fax, each department’s budget manager will fill out the “Departmental Migration Form” which includes a list of people that should have this ability. If you are included in this form your email account will be given faxing permissions. If you are not included, you will need to contact your budget manager to request E-Faxing permissions.
How does the fax look on the receiving end? The subject line of your email becomes the
Subject: or
Re: line of the fax cover sheet.
The text you entered in the body of the email becomes the
Comments: or
Details: on the cover sheet.
Your name, phone number, fax number, and email address will appear on the fax cover sheet
