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.
z
This feature is not available for some models. An optional component is required. For more information,
contact our Customer Support Center.
z
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.
z
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.
z
For information on how to connect the machine to a network and how to set the network environment, refer to "Tools" >
"Connectivity & Network Setup" in the Administrator Guide, and the manual included in the Media (Software/Product Manual).

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.

going through the SMTP server.

Service Settings" > "Internet Fax Control" > "Internet Fax Path" in the Administrator Guide.
îš„ Registering e-mail addresses in address numbers

enter the e-mail address each time you send Internet Fax to the recipient.
