For whatever reason, it may be necessary to resend a fax even after it has been sent successfully. This can be done from the Fax Jobs window for a set number of days, if a scheduled task is configured correctly to keep the sent fax job documents. 

If the sent fax job documents are still available for that specific job, this is indicated by the blue PDF link in the Doc Type column.The following article will cover how to configure a scheduled task to keep the sent fax job documents.

## The Blue PDF Link

Once a fax has been sent, it's details can be seen in the **Control Centre** window in the **Fax Jobs** view.  Faxes can be re-sent from here when the blue PDF link, in the **Doc Type** column is still active.

The blue PDF link only disappears when a message has been deleted from the database. Typically, this happens by default, when a message has been sent successfully. However, this can be overridden if a scheduled task is configured to only delete the faxes as per the setting in the scheduled task.  

## Configure the Scheduled Task

1. Go to **Organisation / Preferences / Printer / **and the **Fax **tab.
2. Click on the **Create Scheduled Task to Delete Fax Job Documents** button.
