Send a test fax to this number

+1 945 229 0534

Send it one page, or several. Nothing is sent back to you and nothing is charged — the result appears here, not on your bill.

Faxing the number is enough to get the page count and the timing from your own machine’s confirmation report. To see the page we received — the actual image, at fax resolution, with whatever skew or cut-off edges it picked up on the way — tell us which number you will be sending from, so we can match it to your fax when it lands.

The link is private and lasts 30 minutes. If the caller ID your machine presents is not the number you gave, nothing will match — which is itself worth knowing, and the page explains what to do about it.

A confirmation report from your own machine says the call completed. It cannot tell you what the far end actually got, which is the part that matters when a filing is rejected as unreadable.

Pages

How many pages our end received and acknowledged.

Call length

How long the two machines were connected.

Finished or not

Whether the transmission completed, or stopped partway with only some of the pages through.

Page one

The image as we received it, at fax resolution — skew, shadows and cropped edges included.

Caller ID

The number the phone network reported, which is often not the one on the handset.

Nothing arriving is a result, and usually a specific one. Working through it in order: the machine has to have an outside line and a dial tone; some office systems need a 9 or another prefix before the number; and a machine set to pulse dialing on a modern line will not get through at all.

If your machine reports the call as completed and nothing shows up here, the likeliest explanation is the caller ID mismatch above rather than a failed transmission — we received it, we just could not tell it was yours.

On an OfficeJet or LaserJet the self-test is under Setup, then Tools or Service, then Run Fax Test — it checks the line, the dial tone and the phone cord, and prints what it found. That test never leaves the building. Faxing this number is the step after it: the HP report tells you the line is live, and the page here tells you what came out the other end.

On a PIXMA or imageCLASS the equivalent is under Setup, then Device Settings or Reports and Lists, where the fax reports and the user data list live. Canon machines print a transmission report per fax if it is enabled, and turning that on before you send here gives you both halves — what your machine thought it sent, and what we received.

The document is erased 30 minutes after it arrives, and a record of that deletion is kept so the claim is checkable. If nobody is waiting for a fax when it lands, we never download it at all, because there is nobody it could be shown to — only the call is recorded: when it came, the caller ID, the page count and how long it lasted.

We do not read what you send or forward it anywhere, and the number you typed is deleted within 26 hours of when you typed it. Nothing arriving on this number reaches a person. Full detail on FaxMyDoc’s retention page.
