Summary
In most cases, give it one to two minutes for the transmission to finish once you have clicked confirmation and the brief countdown has elapsed.
At busy times the queue grows, and waiting for a free line can add a few minutes; you can follow the progress in real time on the tracking page.
The ordinary delay
Most often, delivery follows the start of the send one to two minutes later. At traffic peaks, your fax pauses in the queue while a channel frees up for it.
The prior steps, and what lengthens them
Before the call starts, two brief actions are required: first, click the link sent to your inbox — it remains valid for just three minutes. Then, a countdown of roughly fifty seconds begins, during which cancellation is still possible.
The actual sending then depends on three factors: how thick the document is — pages are fed through one by one; whether the receiving device is free, a busy line triggering a retry; and lastly the state of the line, which can cause both devices to drop to a slower speed.
Following the send minute by minute
The tracking page updates itself every five seconds and ticks through the states, from entering the queue to the final verdict — delivered, or failed. Reloading the page changes nothing about the real pace.
Key points
- Transmission of one to two minutes, ordinarily.
- Email link to activate within three minutes, then about 55 seconds that can be cancelled.
- Thickness, busy line and traffic can lengthen the delay.
- Automatic refresh, in five-second intervals.
