    Is that "auto detect color?" If it see just one color on a page, it will process the entire page as color. That can make the page size anywhere from 16 times larger for 4 color to 64K larger for 256 color. The larger the page, the longer it takes to send. If they have pages that contain color that need to be sent in color, send them as a separate batch set at 4 color. Everything else needs to go as B/W.
    Not quite sure just how that would work...seing how there is no such thing as color fax...at least AFAIK.

    Perhaps any color data may be getting converted to grayscale, which would make for some nasty sized files.

      And nasty sized files will take longer to send.

        While there actually is a standard for color fax, it is extremely uncommon.

        Im not aware of any Ricoh machine that supports it.
