Print-to-Fax Driver
Print to fax from any application.
The WestFax Print-to-Fax driver adds a fax printer to Windows. Open your EHR, Microsoft Word, a PDF, or your browser, hit Print, choose WestFax — and your document goes out as a secure, HIPAA-compliant fax. No new app to learn, no workflow to rebuild.
Free with every WestFax account. Windows print driver. An SSO-enabled driver is available for Enterprise teams through the Cloud Fax Toolkit.
Pick WestFax in any app’s Print menu — your document goes out as a secure fax.
Why print-to-fax
A fax button inside every app you already use
No portal to open, no document to re-upload. If an application can print, it can send a secure fax through WestFax.

Key features
A full fax experience, right in the Print menu
Not a stripped-down print hook. The WestFax driver brings your fax numbers, contacts, and cover pages to wherever you work.
-
Faxing is as easy as printing
If you can print a document, you can fax it. Open anything — your EHR, Word, a PDF, your browser — choose WestFax from the print menu, and your document goes out as a secure fax. There’s no portal to open and nothing to re-upload.
-
Integrated, organization-wide contacts
Just enter your recipient’s fax number(s) or pull from your cloud-based address book. No more numbers to remember. Import your numbers in the fax portal once and never look up a number again.
-
Cover pages built in
Set your cover page options and a personalized message to the recipient. Design and manage your cover pages in the fax portal, then select them right in the Print Driver — we even show you a preview so you know you have the right one.
Combine multiple documents
Queue documents from different applications and send them together as a single fax with one page count.
Multiple fax numbers
Send from the right number for the right department or location, chosen right in the Send Fax window.
Multi-user, fast switching
On a shared workstation, switch the signed-in user in a click so every fax is sent and logged under the right account.
Moving off a legacy fax server
Keep the workflow your team already knows
Replacing an aging on-premises fax server shouldn’t mean retraining everyone. Your staff already know how to print — so they already know how to fax with WestFax.
-
The same muscle memory
Staff keep printing exactly the way they always have. The only change is choosing the WestFax printer.
-
Retire the hardware, not the habit
Move fax transport to the cloud and decommission the on-prem fax server — without rebuilding a single workflow.
