About Internet Fax
Unlike general fax communications using public phone lines, Internet Fax uses
corporate intranets and the Internet to send or receive scanned documents as e-mail
attachments.
Because Internet Fax uses existing corporate intranets and the Internet, the
transmission is less expensive than general fax transmission.
Note • This feature is not available for some models. An optional component is required. For more
information, contact our Customer Support Center.
• To use Internet Fax, various settings are required to display [Internet Fax] from the drop-
down menu on the [Fax/Internet Fax] screen. For more information, consult your system
administrator.
• Internet Fax does not support color documents. If the machine receives color documents for
Internet Fax (Profile: TIFF-C), the documents are converted to black-and-white documents
and printed. To send and receive color documents, use the E-mail service.
For information on how to connect the machine to a network and how to set the network environment,
refer to "5 Tools" > "Connectivity & Network Setup" in the Administrator Guide, and the manual
included in the Driver CD Kit.
Internet Fax Features
The following describes the Internet Fax features of the machine.
Sending Internet Fax
The Internet Fax service allows you to send documents scanned by the machine as
TIFF-format attachments to Internet Fax-compatible machines.
Important • The TIFF file profiles that can be processed differ depending on the Internet Fax-compatible
machine of the recipient. Confirm the profile that can be processed by the recipient's Internet
Fax-compatible machine before specifying a profile. For more information, refer to "Sending
Internet Fax" (P.178). For information on profiles, refer to "Internet Fax Profile (Specifying
Internet Fax Profiles)" (P.232).
• If a document is sent to a computer using the Internet Fax service, it cannot be opened in
some cases. When you send a document to a computer, use the E-mail service.
îš„Using Direct Internet Fax feature
You can send an Internet fax directly to the Internet Fax-compatible machines without
going through the SMTP server.
Note • You can switch between Internet Fax and Direct Internet Fax in the System Administration
mode. These two features cannot be enabled simultaneously. For information on how to
switch them, refer to "5 Tools" > "Fax Service Settings" > "Internet Fax Control" > "Internet
Fax Path" in the Administrator Guide.
îš„Registering e-mail addresses in address numbers
Once you register a recipient's e-mail address in an address number, you do not need
to enter the e-mail address each time you send Internet Fax to the recipient.
Note • To address numbers, you can also register the Internet Fax profile and other settings
required for transmission.
For information on how to register address numbers, refer to "5 Tools" > "Setup" > "Add Address Book
Entry" in the Administrator Guide.
