No More Paper Faxes!

The Issue: Printing a document to fax is a paper waster!
Carmen has been pushing the team to be more environmentally friendly lately and I have to agree it’s a great goal to strive for. So in our first efforts to make Deelicious Web Design more green, I tackled our faxing practices. True, this first “going green” campaign was prompted by the fax feeder making a dreadful sound and dying without grace, but it made me ponder why we print out most documents we fax, then scan them to the client. What a waste of paper!
The Solution: Good thing I was on a mission, because this took 3 days of technical support to complete. We currently have in-house 3 Macs and an HP 7410 All-in-one printer. After downloading the most recent driver for our printer from the HP website, I now have a new option on my printer settings which allow me to type in a number and send the file from my computer directly to the fax, without printing on an innocent sheet of paper! Not only am I excited to reduce our paper use, but the cost of ink will hopefully diminish as well. Could I be saving money and the environment? Maybe Carmen deserves a raise....
