You could just use a flash drive to put the files onto the computer that is directly connected to the fax machine (considering whether or not the fax machine is in the same house/floor of a building/etc.). If the fax machine is outside easy access or is not connected directly to a computer, you could also email the file to someone who knows how to operate a fax machine as a fax machine or the person can print the document directly from a computer.
I’m wondering whether or not fax machines are becoming obsolete or, in some cases, pointless, as time goes on. “Why not send an electronic version of your work(s) so that they can print it out if they want to or not?”
Well cuz im trying to send a menu and my menu is 11 inches by 17 so most all in one printers wnt take that size of feed,and corperate companies that call dnt allowtheir employees on the internet
Lots of fax machines have usb connections on them. you can plug your mac into the usb and print to the fax machine as a device.

@afghanmoose just go to a local UPS, FedEx, or any office supply/equipment store of the like, and check for printers that will allow for that size.
If the goal is printing, and the fax was just a workaround, then I like afghanmoose’s answer.
I go to Fed Ex when I want to print oversize or color. I rarely print anything, it is much cheaper than owning a printer for me.
Faxes are very low resolution, they look awful compared to normal printouts.
