Ok, Looking to send a bunch of faxes. I want to use the internet cause I don't have a landline and don't really want to get one either. I don't want to scan the documents to be faxed, cause it's over 100 pages or so, and I don't want to go to kinko's cause it's a buck a page, long distance. What is the solution? Is there some sort of faxing device I can buy and plug right into my computer and presto? Any help would be good.

We sit down to dinner and the phone rings, somebody trying to sell you something.
Watching the game on a Saturday afternoon and the doorbell rings, religious person or salesman bugging you.
You get 50 emails a day and 30 of them are SPAM.
Your fax machine rings constantly for pub crawls, ski specials, carpet cleaning, auto detailing etc. using page after page. Many businesses and individuals still use the old standard Fax machine, so a large percentage of paper waste recycling is from the fax machine.
We are inundated daily with stuff other people think we need and it costs us time, money and patience.
The above are facts of life. So if I am douche for not wanting to help 1 more idiot send a bunch of 100 page faxes, then a douche I am. Who the hell sends 100 page long faxes and a “Bunch” of them at that anyway? Ever thought of using the mail?
I commented because I have worked in IT over 20 years and the fact that somebody is thinking about sending even 1 fax that is 100 pages long, just amazes me with the audacity of it all. Fill your boots pal. For all of you that PM’d him with help, make sure you get added to the fax list. I am sure you can’t wait to receive a 100 page long fax. LMAO at the whole surreal episode.

I have a great Jpeg sitting in one of my folders at work - it's a pure black background with "TONER TEST IN PROGRESS - please do not disturb" in white letters... I figure on my way out of my job someday I'll cure a few hundred to print...

If you have existing documents that you want to digitize you have to scan them and run an OCR (optical character recognition) software against the file. This allows for edits. You can also scan to PDF as it's not a large file bit is basically an image file.

Yeah, you can't fax this. You can't assume the receiver is going to have enough pages loaded to receive 100 anyway. You have to send by mail -- or Xpresspost it if it is that urgent. If it is local, get your copies and use a city courier.

Another solution is to purchase Adobe Acrobat that will convert documents to pdf's (portable document format) that you can then email as an attachment.
