Are you faxing from the system or printing->faxing?

neither right now… We have not gone live with OpenEMR yet. we are using another system which allows us to fax via the system.  Was just wondering how I can do that with OpenEMR if it’s possible?

OpenEMR supports prescription faxing,

You’ll need of course a modem, I recommend using  external usrobotics connected to the serial port.

You can install hylafax, is GPL, and very easy to configure for a basic setting,

Then enter ‘sendfax’ in the line that reads
$GLOBALS[‘oer_config’][‘prescriptions’][‘sendfax’] = ‘’;
so it looks
$GLOBALS[‘oer_config’][‘prescriptions’][‘sendfax’] = ‘sendfax’;

That will activate faxing.

et voila,
