Ask HN: How to send back an offer letter?
I have a quick question about how to send back an offer letter and some employment forms. A company has given me the position that I applied for and says that the forms can be sent back via email or fax. If I were to choose to scan and email them, what resolution should be sufficient for the image files? I don't want them to be too big as they need to be sent through email, however I also don't know if there is a minimum resolution needed for legal documents. Anyone know what resolution I should scan them as?
- david_shaw 16y agoThe simple answer is that they're going to print them out, so the images should have a sufficient resolution as to not be blurry when they're printed out on sheets of printer paper.
- gojomo 16y agoI believe historically faxes were as low as 100dpi but now are 200dpi or more. So 200dpi should be safe... But your scanning software may have presets/suggestions for 'fax/b&w document' that would also be a safe choice.
