How to Fax a Medical Records from iPad Air: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

   Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad Air. It's free to start — no credit card required.

   💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 17+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

   Scan your Medical Records with iPad Air

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad Air about 12 inches above the Medical Records and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad Air's 12MP rear camera produces clear document scans. For best results, use the landscape orientation and ensure the document is flat and well-lit.

   💡 Tip: Your Medical Records may have multiple pages — TigerFax lets you scan each page in sequence before sending.

   Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Medical Records from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. The iPad Air supports Split View, allowing you to open Files or Mail alongside TigerFax. Drag documents directly from Files into TigerFax to add them to your fax.

   💡 Tip: PDF format preserves Medical Records formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.
