Receiving Faxes
Incoming faxes appear in the Inbox tab of the Fax module. You can view the fax document, download it as PDF for printing or archiving, and receive a notification when a new fax arrives.

- Each entry shows: sender (if available), date/time, page count, and status
Viewing a Fax

- The fax document opens in a viewer
- Scroll through multi-page faxes as needed
- Use zoom or full-screen options if available
Downloading as PDF

Downloading preserves the fax as a PDF for long-term storage. Consider organizing downloads in folders by date or sender for easy retrieval.
Notifications
When a new fax arrives:

- You may see an in-app alert, desktop notification, or email
- The Inbox tab may show an unread indicator or badge
Configure notifications in Settings > Notifications to control how you're alerted for new faxes.
