MCLA has partnered with WestFax, a cloud-based fax service that integrates with MCLA Email and BlazerPrint Copiers. Faxing a document can now be done by simply sending an e-mail. Users can also receive faxes securely that go directly to their MCLA mailbox. Users who have a paper document to fax can still do so on any BlazerPrint Copier on campus. The following instructions will walk through these various options. ==Sending a Fax==<youtube>G7xoRmVkFws</youtube> '''Via Email Attachment'''*Login to your MCLA Email via the MCLA Portal (https://portal.mcla.edu)*Create a new email message*Enter the ten-digit fax phone number with @westfax.com as the recipient's e-mail address.
