01

Scan Your Document Clearly

You can scan your document using:

• iPhone or Android: Use the built-in Notes/Files/Google Drive scanner
• All-in-one printer: Save as PDF for best quality
• Desktop scanner: Use 200–300 DPI black & white for fax clarity

Make sure the scan is:

• Straight, not tilted
• High contrast
• Free of shadows
• Saved as PDF or a clear image (JPG/PNG)

02

Convert Images Into a Fax-Ready PDF

If your scan is an image file (JPG or PNG), convert it to a PDF so it faxes cleanly.

Most phones and free tools can convert images to PDF instantly.

For multi-page scans, combine them into a single PDF before faxing.
