Internet Fax Overview
When the Fax feature is available, the machine can transmit scanned data as an e-mail
attachment using a corporate intranet or the Internet, unlike conventional fax machines
which use public phone lines. Also, the machine can receive e-mails transmitted from
the Internet Fax-enabled machines.
For details of the Internet Fax, refer to "4 Fax" > "About Internet Fax" in the User Guide.
