Fix blurry or black faxes with Dropbox Fax
In this article
This is usually due to the document in question being image-heavy. Most traditional fax machines don't handle printing images well, and as a result, the fax prints out black or garbled. What we suggest in this case is send a high-resolution color fax.
You can send a fax this way by checking the small check box under the fax number field Send a high resolution & color version of this fax. This box will appear after you've uploaded the document and entered in your recipient's fax number.
What we do is send a regular fax with a cover sheet added that will contain a link the recipient can use to go online, enter the passcode, and view a high resolution or color image of the fax. From here, they can download the image of the fax as a document.
Important note: The receiver will need to view and download the document within 72 hours of receiving the fax, after which we will take the image down and the passcode will not work for security reasons.
How to disable Dropbox Fax from sending an extra page at the end of your fax transmissions
If you do not wish for your senders to receive an extra page at the end of your faxes, be sure to uncheck the check box next to Send a high resolution & color version of this fax when preparing and sending your fax.
