S 2.51 Producing copies of incoming fax messages

Initiation responsibility: Fax Officer

Implementation responsibility: IT-user

Fax messages printed on thermal paper can fade considerably or turn black after a certain period of time. As a result, copies on normal paper should be made of incoming fax messages whose information content is need for extended periods.

Additional controls:

• Does the company/agency possess fax machines using thermal paper?

• Are important incoming fax messages copied?
