Hard copy original sent to an Email address – Requires Email server and T.37
protocol on sending and receiving unit. Please note that with the introduction
of the C652/C552 and subsequent C652DS/C552DS, C452, C360 Series,
652Series, 423 Series and with the recently introduced C754 Series, C554
Series, C364 Series and 754 Series it is possible to send a Color Internet
Fax. These devices support the protocol necessary to send color files via
Internet Faxing.
Internet Faxing enables the transmission of a hard copy document over
theInternet in the form of hard copy output. In essence it is the same
as a fax transmission.
It is sent as a hard copy document and received as a hard copy document;
however, it is transmitted over the Internet instead of a traditional phone line.
Since the transmission occurs over the Internet, there is no additional cost
incurred. Your only cost is your monthly fee for Internet service.
Transmissions can be sent over the Internet from one T.37 Internet Fax
device to another. Since T.37 Internet Fax machines are assigned Email
addresses, it is possible to send a fax transmission over the Internet instead
of over thetraditional phone lines. The Email address of the receiving T.37 fax
device isstored in the address book or can be manually dialed just like a fax
number or a regular Email address. In this case, the Email address is assigned
tothedevice.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) established the T.37 Internet
protocol. This is a “store-and-forward” protocol. Messages are sent and stored
in a gateway until it can be forwarded to the intended recipient. The messages
are not sent in “real-time.” Unlike a fax transmission that can be sent and
received in “real-time,” transmissions over the Internet using the T.37 protocol
cannot accomplish this “real time” sending.
The T.38 Internet Protocol can accomplish this capability, however, T.38
Internet Faxing requires communication within a managed network (within
a corporation or organization). Due to this limitation, T.37 remains the more
popular and prevalent protocol for Internet Faxing.
