Turn Paper Into Files You Can Send

Scanning and faxing services in Bannockburn handle multi-page and oversized documents for legal, medical, and business use without requiring equipment ownership.

When you need to send a signed contract, medical records, or a stack of receipts to an office that only accepts faxes, you probably do not own a fax machine or a high-speed scanner at home. Inbox & More Pack Ship Print in Bannockburn provides both services with walk-in convenience, so you can convert paper documents into digital files or fax them directly to the recipient without buying equipment or setting up software.

Scanning is useful when you need to email documents, store them digitally, or upload them to an online portal. Faxing remains common in legal, medical, and government offices where electronic signatures and email attachments are not accepted. Staff handle multi-page documents and oversized sheets that would jam or fail on a home printer, and you receive confirmation when a fax is successfully transmitted or when your scanned files are ready for download or email.

What Scanning and Faxing Actually Involve

When you bring documents to the Bannockburn location for scanning, staff load them into a high-speed scanner that captures both sides of each page if needed. The scanned files are saved as PDFs, which can be emailed to you, uploaded to a USB drive you provide, or sent directly to a designated recipient. Multi-page documents are saved as a single file unless you request individual pages separated.

After scanning is complete, you will have digital copies of your documents that can be shared, stored, or printed again if needed. Faxing works similarly, except the document is transmitted over a phone line to the recipient's fax number. You receive a confirmation page showing the date, time, and recipient number, which serves as proof that the fax was sent successfully.

The service includes scanning and faxing of standard and oversized documents, but it does not include document editing, redaction, or format conversion beyond basic PDF creation. If your documents are fragile or printed on unusual paper stock, staff will let you know if there are limitations before proceeding. This setup works best for straightforward scanning and faxing tasks where the goal is to move information from paper to digital or from your location to another office quickly.

Before You Bring Your Documents In

People usually want to know how much scanning or faxing will cost, how long it takes, and what file formats are available.

What file format will my scanned documents be saved in?
Documents are scanned and saved as PDFs by default. If you need a different format such as JPEG or TIFF, let staff know before scanning begins.
How much does it cost to fax documents?
Faxing is typically priced per page, with local and long-distance faxes charged separately. Staff provide the rate before you send the fax, and you pay after confirmation is printed.
Why would I use a fax service instead of email?
Many legal, medical, and government offices still require faxed documents because fax transmission is considered more secure and legally compliant than email in certain contexts.
How long does it take to scan a multi-page document?
Scanning speed depends on the page count and whether you need both sides captured. Most jobs take less than ten minutes, and you can wait while the scanning is completed.
What if I need to scan oversized documents?
Staff can scan documents larger than standard letter or legal size using specialized equipment. Let them know the size of your documents when you arrive so they can prepare the correct scanner.
