Favourite fax stories: 1. Different standards, so if something doesn't go through between you and a party only, each side blames the other. "I'm receiving faxes from others, so the problem is on your end". "My faxes to others are going through, so the problem must be you". 2. Some fax machines would use some OCR tech to "sharpen" faxes. e.g. close the loop on some 6s and turn them into 8s. Exaggerated example: "I did respond to you. I sent a fax to the number on your own faxes to me. Your fax said your fax number is 1-888-888-8888 and I have the confirmation here". (turns out 888-888-8888 was an unrelated toy store's fax machine in a different city). "I have my letterhead right here and our fax number is 1-666-666-6666, are you drunk?" http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_... 3. If you have two fax machines and aren't receiving any for a while, you can do a thorough self-test by sending a fax from one to the other. 4. Needing to cancel a doctor's appointment, but not getting through over the phone, I just sent a fax.
