Anyone with a Baker College Xmedius EFax account. Xmedius access will be granted with supervisor approval following a request to IT prior to use.
Can I use a fax Cover sheet?
Yes, although they are administered by the delegates of the departments. You can also attach a cover sheet to your PDF document.
Attachment Size Limitations?
The file size limit is 100 megabytes. The larger the file, the more likely it will fail on the remote side receiving it due to phone line quality.
How do I get an Xmedius EFax account?
If a supervisor has made the determination that an account is required, then the user’s supervisor can simply open a trouble ticket to request the creation of an account.
Are my faxes Private?
Any fax Received is visible to the fax “delegates” in your group who are assigned to that particular fax number. The Web Portal is both FERPA and HIPAA compliant. Logging in to your online account ensures additional privacy and security concerning the faxes being sent or received. It should be noted that among the new methods of eFax available, the Web Portal is the only acceptable method of sending information that falls under FERPA/HIPAA guidelines. The use of Baker email should not be used for this purpose.
Can Students send or receive Efaxes?
Not at this time.
Can I fax Internationally?
Yes. There are no restrictions on sending faxes internationally. XMedius uses the standard E.164 international format, so your outgoing phone number should be +## <faxnumber>, where ### is the applicable country code (for example, the US is +1, the UK is +44).
