I would way rather pay a higher fee than pay $1 per page for an "outgoing fax". What does an "outgoing fax" cost anyway?

Add up all these costs (whatever they may be):
- The cost of the fax machine divided by the usage of it before it needs to be replaced
- The cost of repairing the fax machine during its life
- The cost of the paper the fax is sent on (or)
- The cost of the paper the fax is received on
- A prorated cost of the phone line service the machine uses
and probably the biggest expense of all
- The cost of an individual walking over to the machine to send or retrieve the fax (if you figure this person has hard costs to the company of $50 hour for their salary, their health benefits, their retirement, the computer they sit at, blah blah blah and it takes them 2 minutes to do this = $1.67)
