OS X Yosemite: Set up a fax machine

Follow the instructions that came with the fax machine to set it up and connect it to your Mac.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.

If you don’t see your fax machine in the list at the left, click Add . If a pop-up menu appears, choose Add Printer or Scanner.

Do one of the following:

• If your fax machine is part of a multifunction printer: Select it in the list, click the Use pop-up menu, choose the fax version of its software, then click Add.

  If you have a multifunction AirPrint printer and fax machine, the fax machine is added automatically when you add the printer.

  If you can’t add the multifunction printer as a fax machine, see the documentation that came with your printer to find out how to use it to send and receive faxes.

• If your fax machine is a separate device: Click Fax, select your fax machine, then click Add.

  If your fax machine isn’t in the list, see the documentation that came with your fax machine to find out how to send and receive faxes.
