IJMC - Safe Fax FAQ

Technology is changing faster than many can keep up so the IJMC wishes to 
do its part to help. Many of you may have had to use a "fax" machine at 
some point in your life. Some of you had kind teachers who showed you how 
to fax properly and safely but the rest had to learn on their own, 
through experience. For the latter group, here is the guide to safe fax. 
Remember, faxing can be a worthwhile and uplifting experience, but be safe!

                           Guide to safe fax

 Q.     Do I have to be married to have safe fax?

 A.     Although married people fax quite often, there are many single
        people who fax complete strangers every day.

 Q.     My parents say they never had fax when they were young and were
        only allowed to write memos to each other until they were twenty one.
        How old do you think someone should be before they can fax?

 A.     Faxing can be performed at any age once you have learned the
        correct procedure.

 Q.     If i fax to myself, will I go blind?

 A.     Certainly not, as far as we can see.

 Q.     There is a place on my street where you can go and pay to fax
        someone. Is this legal?

 A.     YES!  Many people have no other outlet for their fax drives and
        must pay a PROFESSIONAL when their need to fax becomes too great.

 Q.     I fax quite often...Should I use a cover?

 A.     Unless you are really sure of the one you're faxing, a cover
        should always be used.

 Q.     What happens when I incorrectly fax and fax prematurely?

 A.     Don't panic.  Many people fax prematurely when they haven't faxed
        for a long time.  Just start over.  Most fax partners won't mind 
        if you try again.

 Q.     I have a business and a personal fax.  Can transmissions become
        mixed up?

 A.     Being bi-faxual can be confusing, but as long as you use a cover
        each time you fax, you won't transmit anything you're not 
        supposed to.
