About Internet Fax
Unlike a regular fax machine, Internet Fax uses corporate networks or the Internet
without using public phone lines to send or receive documents scanned by the machine
via e-mail as attached documents.
As the iFax feature transmits data via an existing intranet and the Internet,
communication charges are less than for sending regular faxes. Also, communication
with regular fax machines that do not support the iFax feature is possible via a fax
gateway.
For information on the fax gateway feature, refer to "Sending an iFax to Normal Fax Machine via a
Relay Station" (P.109).
For information on how to connect the machine to a network and set the network environment, refer to
the "Network Administrator Guide" and the manual on the CentreWare Utilities CD-ROM.
Note • These features are not displayed on some models. Optional accessories are required to use
these features. For more information, contact our Customer Support Center.
Internet Fax Overview
The following describes the Internet Fax (hereafter referred to as iFax) features of the
machine.
Sending iFax
An iFax allows you to send documents scanned by the machine as TIFF file format e-
mail attachments to iFax compatible machines.
Important • The TIFF file profiles that can be processed differ depending on the iFax compatible
machine of the recipient. Confirm the profile that can be processed by the recipient's iFax
before specifying a profile.
For more details, refer to "Sending iFax" (P.107). For information on profiles, refer to "iFax Profile
(Specifying iFax Profiles)" (P.138).
Important • If an iFax sends a document directly to a computer, the document cannot be opened on the
computer in some cases. Use E-mail when sending a document to a computer.
îš„Registering e-mail addresses in the address book
If you register a recipient's e-mail address in the address book, you do not need to enter
the e-mail address each time when sending an iFax to the recipient.
Note • In the address book, you can also preset other settings such as the iFax profile and send
related settings when setting a mail address.
For information on address book registration, refer to "Address Book (Address Number)" (P.347).
îš„Using the Broadcast Send feature
An iFax can be sent to multiple destinations by specifying multiple e-mail addresses for
its recipients. Also, you can mix normal fax recipients and iFax recipients to send a
broadcast transmission for fax and iFax.
For information on how to specify recipients, refer to "Step 3 Specifying the Destination" (P.101) and
"Specifying Destination using the Address Book" (P.113).
îš„Forwarding documents stored in mailboxes
When the forwarding feature and a forwarding mail address are set on a mailbox
beforehand, the documents stored in the mailbox can be automatically forwarded. The
document can be forwarded to a specified computer, therefore a user does not have to
go to the fax machine to pick the document up.
For more details, refer to "Forwarding Documents Stored in the Mailbox" (P.110).
