It's essential to be aware of certain limitations and best practices to ensure successful fax transmissions. This article will guide you on the recommended page limit for fax transmissions and how to split larger documents if needed.

Recommended page limit

We suggest sending a maximum of 50 pages per fax transmission. The ability to reliably send faxes with a specific number of pages depends on several factors, including the quality of your connection and the devices involved. Staying within this page limit can help ensure a smooth and successful transmission.

Why a page limit?

Sending too many pages at once can strain the fax transmission process, leading to potential issues like incomplete or failed deliveries. Smaller transmissions are more manageable and less likely to encounter problems during the faxing process.

Document Splitting

If you have a document that exceeds the recommended 50-page limit, it's a good idea to split it into smaller parts before sending it. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Use online tools: There are numerous online tools and software available to help you split large documents into smaller files. Some of these tools are user-friendly and allow you to specify the desired number of pages per file.

  2. Manual splitting: If you prefer to split documents manually, you can do so using software like Adobe Acrobat or even by copying and pasting sections of the document into separate files. Ensure that each file is within the recommended page limit.

  3. Naming convention: When splitting documents, maintain a clear naming convention to keep track of the order and content of each file. This will make it easier for both you and the recipient to organize and assemble the document on the receiving end.

Sending faxes can be a reliable and efficient way to transmit documents, but it's essential to be mindful of page limits and document splitting, especially when dealing with larger files. By adhering to these guidelines and using online tools if necessary, you can increase the likelihood of successful fax transmissions and minimize the risk of encountering problems during the process.
