GC Technology: Fax Services for GC Students
by Advocate Staff
Adding to the outbound fax services made available to students earlier this year, Matt Liston, head of IT’s Enterprise Networks & Systems, said that the inbound fax service is ready for student use.
Students can now receive faxes sent from anywhere in the world, and the faxes will be converted automatically into pdf files and stored on the Xerox (or X) drive, which is now operational. Each pdf file will be named according to the date and time with which it was received and stored for student retrieval. All fax pdf files will be deleted after seven days, Liston said, while also asking that students delete their faxes after retrieval to help clean up the X drive.
One caveat to reiterate was that this X drive acts “like a communal refrigerator,” according to Liston, where anyone can open any of the received fax files. This being said, do not have people fax information to you that is of a sensitive nature, such as bank account information, social security numbers, etc.
The fax number for inbound student faxes is (212) 817‑1555. n
