Procedures

Turn the fax on → connect the fax and the computer by USB cable.
3.
Check that the connected fax is displayed in the [Printers] list of the displayed dialog.
When using a device via a USB connection in macOS 10.15.x or earlier, macOS may block loading of the driver and prevent fax transmission, depending on the model of the device. If so, click the subsequent "Open details."
