Our normal fee schedule is $1/per page with max fee of $10 per fax, with no charge for the cover sheet to send. To receive, we charge $.25 per page.
However, we did have a generous donor pre-pay for some of our services, including faxes, so the individual patron is not currently being charged. We are just tracking numbers to know when we reach the end of the donation.
Thanks!

So many great responses! To clarify the max is from a fee perspective (ex: $1/page with a max fee of $10) and not # of pages sent/received. I'm not sure my email was quite clear in that regard ;)
I will summarize responses for the list.
Thanks again!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Fax charges - sending/receiving
Curious what you all are charging for patron faxes (not interested in self-service fax machines, only fees for your staff to be involved in the faxing).
Sending, per page - do you have a max fee/fax?
Receiving, per page - do you have a max fee/fax?
We are seeing quite a few courts document related faxes that are 20+ pages and the fee for those faxes seems out of line with the amount of work our staff are putting into the sending of them. We're looking at adding a max fee/fax and I'm curious as to what other libraries are doing regarding fees for this service.
Many thanks!
Andrea
