 Our office is a victim of Junk-Fax but we've found a solution to the problem.
Coming into the office one morning we were greeted by a 5 foot long banner
with a fax number on top, an order form and then the message (in big letters)
"ARE YOU OUT OF PAPER?".  What we did was to chop the banner into 8x10 pieces, 
put them in the sheet feeder and told it to send 99 copies of each page.  We
had set it up at night so hopefully no one was there to stop it.  Anyways, as
a result, we no longer get junk-fax from THAT company.
