No. Maybe you're thinking of copy paper. Thermal paper came on a roll. And the early fax machines were ALL thermal. What she has IS fax paper. How am I so certain? My husband has worked in that industry for 25 years.
Nowadays faxes (a dying technology) are printed via multi-function laser printers that do print on single, plain copy paper. If her paper turned black or purple when it got hot, it is thermal paper. And since she said it's 8.5" wide, it's for faxes, not receipts.

back in the day of fax machines, like everyone else here said, I remember it being a bit purple when it was hot out of the machine. Maybe 1982, I think, my office got it's first fax machine We were told we wouldn't need messengers to deliver anymore, that this new FAX machine would take it over.
