If you have OCR in the loop anyway, you could have just taken a picture of the file as displayed on the original laptop, no need to do the fax transfer.

- kelnos 2y agoRight. Fax is a terrible, crappy protocol that generates pretty bad images on the receiving side, even when you have clean phone lines. I wouldn't be surprised if a modern camera-phone photo of the screen displaying the text would yield a better image.
