Tips for Successful Faxing
Simple Ways to Shorten Fax Transmission Time (And Save Money) 
Avoid excessive use of black. Black does create a bold image but the costs usually exceed the benefits. 
Avoid large graphics/logos Stay away from large font size, bold settings and underlining. 
Plan your white space. Faxes are transmitted by horizontal lines. So, even one small bit of black on a horizontal line requires that the whole line be transmitted and printedon most fax machines. 
If you use two columns for your message, don’t use a gutter in the middle, be very careful about lining up both sets of text in the two columns, if they do not line up the spaces between the lines do not line up and it can slow transmission a lot. It is usually easier to do, two paragraphs instead of two columns.
Don’t convert a color image to gray scale & send, try to find an original black and white of the picture you wish to use, or even better get a line drawing, there is a considerable amount of free clip art available on the internet.
If you have to scan in an image because it is necessary for your message, make sure the image scanned is clean, if necessary convert it to a format that you can blow up to a large size and edit pixel by pixel. If you can create a good image, you can use it again and again. One hours work on the computer could save you $ as many faxing hours over the next year.
When finalizing your layout try to: create your document in blocks leaving vertical blank space in between the areas of text, avoid vertical lines or frames around the text in short, don't just think of blank space, think of vertical blank space.
