[Michlib-l] Handling Faxes

[Shelley Williams]

Jaema,

#3 - no
#4 - no

Hope this helps.

We have enough trouble when the copier jams on patrons.  I hate to think
what would happen the first time a patron's paper was eaten by the fax.  We
are trained on how to fix jams and other strange happenings.  Patrons are
not.  So we keep it under our control.
