How often do you fax information?

[hisno1girl]

I've been at my job for 3.5 months and today was the first time I used the fax machine.

I'm really embarrased that I had to ask someone to help me because it's not as simple as punching in a phone number and hitting send on the setup we have.

I haven´t faxed anything in over two years. Thank you internet!

[fuckyourcouch]

like...once a year, maybe.

[meggers5]

A few times a week at work. It would be more if not for scanning and emailing.

I have to fax occasionally at my job, but I can do it via email instead of using a fax machine, which I love.

[stephlove]

I probably fax something once a day.

Thanks to my boss who hates tress and refuses to email anything.

[kristie]

Every day at work

[luckyval]

Maybe once a month - insurance stuff is a little more antiquated

Almost never. And I got a new responsibility which involves faxing about once a week that I am converting to scanning and emailing.

Faxing sucks, there always seems to be a problem if there is more than one sheet.

Never and I almost always fuck it up. I have also had to have student workers help me with the hole punch on more than one occasion. I tell them it is an example of how college pays off at the end. Some day they can hand that shit off to someone else, too.

Occasionally. We used to have fax machines all over my office and now we only have one, up front by the receptionist. I'm always amused at the people who ask me to fax stuff, still.

Banks like faxes.

And warranty companies. 

[Bernadine]

Almost never. I can't even remember the last time I faxed something. I don't even know where the fax machine is in my new office.

[Dusky]

For myself, never.

For patrons, a couple times a week.

[midnightrae]

At work, we fax stuff at least once a week. It is the same with receiving faxes, we receive a fax at least once a week if there is no inventory. If there is an inventory, we get a couple reminders by fax.

I used to have to fax any FSA reimbursement claims, but once we got a new printer that will scan to either email or my personal file folder, I haven't faxed in months and doubt I will anytime soon!

I very rarely fax anything. I scan and email it. I still have people who fax to me though.

All the time. Our field offices are in the middle of nowhere.

[Deleted]

Maybe once in the past three years?

[iamgrace]

At work, daily.

[Tea-rific]

A few time a month. We have to fax in our special education paperwork to an online database.

[Deleted]

Multiple times a day at work. We have recently gotten into the scan and e-mail thing, but many people we deal with do not have that technology or are just used to faxing.

Maybe once a year I fax something.

So a funny story about faxing. A teacher at my school (who is now retired) legit thought that when you sent a fax, there were tubes underground everywhere and the faxed paper would go through these tubes to its destination. She was so confused as to why the faxed paper was still in the fax machine! To this day, everyone tells this story.

Our office has been in a bit of an uproar since they cut the fax and it is now through a fax server app that only myself and my receptionist have access to. I hate it because if someone doesn't tell us they have a personal fax coming through, we open them and have access to way too much personal information. We actually get/send about 10 a day.

[pugz]

Constantly. Still common in healthcare

[Deleted]

Never.

And, well, if I had to, somebody would do it for me.

I don't even know where the fax machine is.

We used it all the time at the firm where I used to work. Of course, we also used Dictaphones, real stamps, and a huge 1970 IBM typewriter, so we may not have been the most technologically advanced law practice out there. (We did have normal computers and a copy machine, and 2 of our attorneys did know how to use email, just to clear that up).

Going Office Space on our fax machine was an ongoing dream of mine.
