Mail Forwarding
When an image received by fax is in JBIG compressed format, when the forwarding
destination has its iFax profile set to TIFF-F, the image is converted to MH compression
for forwarding. If the iFax profile is TIFF-S, it is forwarded with the size and resolution
unchanged.
Fax Gateway Feature
This feature can only be used when the mail receiving protocol is SMTP on the iFax
supporting machine for fax transmission.
When converting an e-mail to a fax document for transmission, if it is not possible to
send the transmission correctly to the recipient, the original received mail is deleted.
For information about the fax gateway feature, refer to "Differences between iFax and Regular Fax
Features" (P.107).
Restrictions for the Paper Selection during iFax Reception
The machine determines whether the attached TIFF file is displayed with content-type
as described by the RFC2301 and RFC3250 Internet Protocol Standards. If the file is
recognized, the machine will select which paper to use to reproduce the image as a fax.
Even when receiving an iFax, if the machine does not recognize the file, it may select
the wrong paper. For example, if a sent fax is on A4 paper, the received fax may be
printed on B4 paper.
Some adjustments may be available depending on usage conditions. For more information, contact our
Customer Support Center.
Mail Server Restrictions
Depending on the system environment (mail server restrictions and so on), it may not
be possible to send or receive large volume e-mails. When setting the number of pages
for splitting mails to send, check the system environment at both sending and receiving
ends.
If even splitting a mail to be sent into single pages results in excessive volume for the
transmission, reduce the transmission quality or change the resolution of the original,
to reduce the size.
Network Confidentiality
Network confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
Mail System Environment Requirements
To send or receive mail, a mail system environment must be provided. Provide the mail
system environment, including SMTP, POP3, and DNS servers and so on, as required.
Notes on Security
iFax uses the Internet, linking computers worldwide, as its transmission path. Attention
must be paid to security, in order to avoid eavesdropping by third parties, or tampering
as can in general occur with electronic mail and other transmissions over the Internet.
Therefore, for important information, it is recommended to employ other methods to
guarantee security. In addition, to avoid the receipt of unwanted e-mail, it is
recommended not to divulge the iFax e-mail address to unrelated third parties.
Preventing Receipt of Unwanted E-mail
iFax provides a feature to block malicious mail sent to a user's address by an external
third party of a known mail address.
This feature restricts the sender's address, by specifying the domains from which mail
may be received.
For information about restricting domains from which mail is received, refer to "Domain Settings"
(P.287).
