Paul,
I looked at the specs on the HP website, and I don't believe your HP is truly PC-Fax capable. It's worth meeting with a local vendor to have them review specs on some fax machines that are PC-Fax capable.

I used my Muratic 1430 as an all in one for about a year. Since it only printed at 12-15pg/min, I bought a dedicated printer HP4250. The Muratec is used as a quality scanner/fax machine. The Muratec is very quick at PC-faxing, and if the receiving fax is busy, the sending fax will stay in the que until it is received. If there is some issue with the receiving fax and it doesn't go through, then an image of the fax will print from the Muratec. Finally, it will automatically archive any fax sent or received if one desires.

Hopefully Nancy can make a number of templates and learn to be less A.R. about documents. I finished week #1 and I am completing charts within the time frame of an office visit. I have a lot of complicated elderly patients, almost all 99214's requiring lab orders, imaging studies or referals. All is done with AC and I'm complete by visit end. I'm doing much more complicated charting than a lot of Bert's typical patient types but still manage to get it done.

IF we have an AC Conference, some work shops on charting/documenting would be very helpful to show some of these tips and tricks.
