You can send to the Sixth Circuit any time, though correspondence is worked during business hours. Clerk's-office staff keep standard weekday hours. Note that electronic filing itself stays open around the clock, so a deadline is met by filing, not by faxing.
Yes — much of the faxing around a case at the Sixth Circuit is between counsel and parties, not to the court. A process server, co-counsel, or client may prefer a fax to email. Confirm the recipient accepts fax and that the rules allow it, then send and keep the confirmation.
A number copied from a search result may be stale; the clerk's office has the current one. Use the court's local rules and clerk's-office page, which state how documents are submitted today. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted document.
No — a document is filed with the Sixth Circuit through CM/ECF, not by fax. Counsel files through the system, and the clerk's office tells a self-represented filer how to submit a document. Fax still helps for correspondence with the clerk's office or a courtesy copy to a party that accepts it.
