Need to find a computer program to work through fax machine to send fax received to a email address?
My office receives a huge volume of faxes everyday. The fax is in another part of the office. (Strange office politics but wanting to find a solution) I know there is a program available that will send these faxed image documents to a computer email address and then can be stored or printed. I need help! Can anyone suggest what it is that I need? I work in a funeral trust department that requires a death certificate before payout of funds is made. Everyday we receive between 10 – 20 death certificates. Because of office politics we are unable to have the fax machine in our location. It would be really 21st century to have this computer program!

You just need a simple fax server to receive the faxes and then it can email them to anyone you like.
Here is a list of many of the available solutions.

If you don’t mind manual translation to email just use Windows XP

Once received all it takes is to send it as an e-mail attachment, right-click it, point to Send To, and then click Mail Recipient.
Or if you want a purely internet based system use one like

Try a digital sender… have it save everything to PDF to a server.
Either get a digital sender, or a wireless network connection. You may want to try and update your computers software. I suggest you buy windows xp or windows vista. However if you wan’t something to work really well get apple software your fax problems should be solved. Hope this helps
