Need to fax a prescription to a pharmacy or specialist? TigerFax handles it securely in under two minutes.

iPad Air Tip

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.

What you'll need

  • iPad Air running iPadOS 17+
  • TigerFax app (free on the App Store)
  • Your Prescription (physical copy to scan, or a PDF/image file)
  • The recipient's fax number
  • A cover page with confidentiality notice (recommended)

How to Fax a Prescription 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.

  2. 2

    Scan your Prescription with iPad Air

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad Air about 12 inches above the Prescription 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.

  3. 3

    Upload your Prescription from iPad Air

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Prescription 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 Prescription formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.

  4. 4

    Add a confidentiality cover page

    Since Prescriptions contain sensitive information protected under HIPAA and DEA, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.

  5. 5

    Enter the recipient's fax number

    Type the recipient's fax number in the To field. For international numbers, include the country code. TigerFax automatically formats the number.

  6. 6

    Review and send

    Preview your Prescription to verify all pages are included and legible — the iPad Air's large display makes this easy. Tap Send. You'll receive a delivery confirmation when the fax is received.
