Feature Request: Support for True Color Fax Transmission

Summary
Allow users to send and receive faxes in full color, ensuring that color documents are preserved during transmission whenever both the sending and receiving systems support it.

Description
Currently, when users send a fax containing color, the document is often converted to black and white or grayscale, even if the original file contains color. This limits the usefulness of faxes for documents where color is essential, such as charts, diagrams, marketing materials, or branded forms.

Providing true color fax support would allow users to maintain the integrity of their documents and improve clarity for recipients who can receive color faxes.

Proposed Functionality

Enable sending of color faxes that retain the original colors of the document.

Ensure compatibility checks with receiving fax systems to determine if color can be preserved.

Include an option for users to send either color or black-and-white faxes, with estimated transmission time displayed.

Provide notifications if the receiving system cannot accept color faxes, so users are aware of potential conversion.

Benefits

Preserves document clarity for charts, graphs, and other color-coded information.

Improves professional presentation for marketing and branding materials.

Reduces confusion caused by color-dependent information being lost in black-and-white faxes.

Gives users more control over how their documents are transmitted.

Use Case
A user needs to send a color-coded chart to a recipient via fax. Currently, the fax is received in black and white, which makes the information harder to interpret. With this feature, the user could ensure that color distinctions are preserved if the recipient’s fax system supports it.
