[Publib] Public fax machines

[Val Meyerson]

We offer self-serve public faxes and scans through the public copy
machine. The copy machine is 10 cents per page. I have tried to
configure this coin-op to "charge" patrons for faxes and scans, but have
been told that the coin-ops work through the paper handling tray, one
sheet of paper = one charge. I have not found a system that will charge
for this other type of service. We ask that patrons pay at the
circulation desk for a fax (some do) and scans are free. I would be
interested to hear if anyone has found a way for patrons to pre-pay for
self-service faxing at the machine.

For those of you who offer public faxing to your patrons, do any of you
have 
self-service coin-op type machines that the public run by themselves?
