What does the “Transmission Optimization” option mean?

The Transmission Optimization feature lets you choose how your document is processed before sending a fax, helping you balance clarity, speed, and content type (text or images). This setting can be selected each time you send a fax or saved as your default preference.

Available Options

🗎 Standard

  • Improves the clarity and legibility of text for easier reading.
  • This is the recommended option for most documents, especially those that contain primarily text.
  • Standard mode ensures fast and reliable fax transmission.
  • Color gradients and continuous color blocks will be impacted as the document is optimized for text.

⚡ High Definition (HD)

  • Included in paid plans
  • Optimizes documents for images, graphics, and detailed visuals.
  • This mode preserves higher image quality and resolution but may take slightly more time and consume more pages to send compared to the Standard option.
