Faxing from Public Multi-Function Devices (Students)

For students looking to send faxes, the multi-function printer device in the Davis Family Library 142 has been set up to send faxes. To recieve faxes, an incoming-only fax machine is in the Mail Center in McCullough Student Center—received faxes for students are delivered through campus mail without notification. The fax number is 802-443-2068. 

Faculty and staff should refer to Zoom eFax.

To send a fax:

  1. Log in to the MiddColor device in Davis 142.

  2. Select the Scan option from the list of choices.

  3. Select the "Send Fax from Davis" option.
  4. On the Scan Details screen, enter the receiving fax number (i.e., to whom you are sending the fax) under “Fax number with area code”.

    • On-Campus Calls: Dial 4-digit extension

    • Local, Off-campus Calls: Dial 9 + 7-digit local number

    • Toll-free Calls: Dial 9 + toll-free number

    • Toll Calls: Dial 9 + area code + number

    • International Calls: Dial 9 + 011 + country code + city code + number

  5. UN-check the “New document” check box at the bottom of the page.
    • Also un-check “Additional Pages” if you do NOT have additional pages to scan. 

  6. Place the document you need faxed in the scanning area of the printer .

  7. Click the Green Start button.

    • NOTE: there are two start buttons—make sure you select the higher, green one. The blue one at the very bottom of the screen may fail to properly send the fax data.

  8. If you kept “Additional Pages” checked, follow the on-screen prompts to scan the additional pages and select Finish when done.

  9. The scan will process and the device will return to the login screen when complete.

  10. You should soon receive an email confirmation that that the fax went through.

    • If the fax fails, you may get an initial message with a subject of “Sending your scanned document” with content that the fax is on its way. The system will retry for another 10-15 minutes, at which time you will get a new email that the fax has failed. In that case, please try these steps again.
