I actually got rid of my scanner (gave it to a friend) and now just use the library or Kinkos when I need to scan. Not as convenient but you're right about maintenance, toner (for a fax) and disposal. I'll take a look at your Second Rotation article, the website looks like a great idea! Have you heard of http://www.buymytronics.com/? I've never used them though. Thanks Paul, makes a lot of sense.

You can use a number of file formats, so no a scanner isn't always necessary. For something that needs signing, then you would. But in these days of having electronic signatures (like that company mentioned above in the comments,and with Acrobat) you wouldn't. But let's say you needed to use a scanner for every fax you sent. The consideration could expand to beyond cost, to are you able to find copies of faxes from a year ago (they store them for you on CallWave) How about how much resources are you using, how often do you have to get toner, how often do you need to fix it? Is it more expensive to fix then the machine itself, and thus you throw it away? Well the same could be said for a scanner as well. On that note, I invite you to read the article I'll be writing today, on Second Rotation, a company that buys old electronics from you, lets you ship for free, they sell them to people in need, recycle what they can't, and the proceeds go to charitable organizations. A win all around. www.secondrotation.com thanks for your question. Great question, Joel. You can use a number of file formats, so no a scanner isn’t always necessary.

For $12.95 monthly, it seems buying a scanner and paying for some trees to be planted yourself for each roll of paper you buy (and/or buying recycled fax paper) would be more economical? Hi Paul,
