Mine also requested fax. I print, get proper signatures, scan and email with my invoice. They seem happy.

However the panic is over as, with a little prompting, the agent has revealed the secret email address to which scans can be sent.

Still think it's a bit odd having to use a piece of paper in the first place though; I don't think I've seen a non-online timesheet system since 2009, and I thought it was primitive then. Ho hum

All you need is cam-scanner and you're in business.

Yep, I'm half expecting you'll own a couple of Telex machines, some clockwork morse code apparatus and a pneumatic tube document system.

And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

This.

There is no reason why they cannot accept a scanned copy instead of fax.

I take a photo and email it. They can have a follow-up paper copy sent by post if they want, as long as they start any day-counting from the email.

pamfax is good.

My bank need something signed to do a euro transfer so I just sign the request, scan it and then fax it to them using pamfax. Easy peasy and costs something like 10p a page only.

Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!

One is thermal & still works (the last time I tried it) & the other uses Olivetti ink cartridges that you can't get any more.

Neither is of any use since I ain't got a landline any more.

But have you got a microfiche reader?
