To send a fax through Outlook, you generally need an online fax service that supports **email-to-fax**, since Outlook does not normally send traditional faxes by itself. After setting up an account with a compatible fax provider, create a new email in Outlook and enter the recipient's fax number using the address format required by that service. Attach the document you want to fax, add a message or cover page if supported, and send the email. The fax service processes the email and sends the document to the recipient's fax machine or fax service.
