Remove page from fax machine, at least she put the pages in the secure waste bin.
Can you imagine how long that takes? She did it more than once.
We're using MoveIt, we got it for moving files around but it also has a plug in to Outlook. It takes the attachment and stores it on a server in our DMZ, and sends the recipient a link to retrieve the file. I don't use it myself, so I'm not sure what mechanism keeps that secure so that only the intended receiver can retrieve the file, but I'm sure their sales guys can tell you.

At the business I last worked at our "home office" was in the city where the owner of the company lived. One time we sent him a request for a text file. We sent it to him via Email. He printed that email made some notes in the margin, and handed to to the one man that had the text file. He faxed us a partial answer answer back to us, and it was almost illegible with his chicken scratch handwriting. We picked up the phone and called and talked to him for 30 minutes and got the answer we needed. It was a long string of text and numbers that is easy to transpose a number. We had asked for the text file to be emailed to us, and we got a fax of chicken scratch. It could have been done digitally in 2 minutes, but analog sucks time.
