I wish that fax machines could sort out a message one by one like a copy machine. Each fax message would fall on one shelf. Then, the next would go on another. Alot of time is taken out for sorting the faxes to go to the different employees in the office. It is definately a time
waster, when so
many other things need attention in the office.
Sincerely,

I love this idea! It would save admins an enormous amount of time (assuming they tend the fax machine); when there isn't an admin assigned to such a tedious task as sorting faxes, they usually pile up and remain undelivered for days... I give this one my "for" vote! |

I think this could happen now. Here is how it would work.
1: Fax output is to a pdf maker.
2: Raw pdf is kept. Character recognition is used to make recognized copy. Recognized copy is compared with other recognized copies for content, header, other identifiers.
3: Raw pdf and recognized copy (for reference) is saved in folder. |

Benefits:
1: Paperless. Spotted owls go on to procreate lasciviously! Kids, plug your ears. |
|
| |
2: Easier to find copies: sorting benefit as laid out in this original idea. |
|
| |
3: No bulky duplicates. Some people fax things over and over in a bid for attention. |
|

Email and cheap document scanners have probably sounded the death-knell of the traditional fax machine, just as fax pushed out Telex. |

I thought this said "Snorting Fax Machine" and was
already to bun it without even reading it. |
