Sounds like a new thread perhaps should be created.

Having said this, we have the full version of Adobe Acrobat on each computer. Therefore we "Print To" the Adobe print driver (instead of our physical printer), which creates a PDF file on the desktop. Do this for each document you need from the chart, easily lasso (combine) those docs together into one PDF. Then "Print To" your networked fax machine as a "PC to Fax" feature, enter the fax number or select from your fax machines address book. Boom, done. No wasted paper.

For simple things, my staff occasionally prints out the paper and manually feeds it (where one piece of paper is needed quickly and one doesn't have the 30 seconds to do what I described above). Where this is VERY helpful is when we have routine referrals or the occasional 300 pages of old records that need to go to another office (NO WAY ARE WE PRINTING AND THEN FAXING 300 PAGES--<<Sorry, I'm not screaming just emphasizing>>). We just PC-Fax these records.

If you don't have a networked or UPS connected fax, you won't be able to do this.
