Setup Flow for Internet Fax
The Internet Fax feature allows users to send originals, same as the fax features. However, the
Internet Fax is sent through the Internet, although the fax is sent through the public switched
telephone line. In order to send the Internet Fax, the remote device also must support the Inter-
net Fax feature.
This equipment sends the internet faxes via a SMTP server and receives them from a POP3
server.
To configure the Internet Fax environment, configure the SMTP server to send and the POP3
server to receive. Remember that a DNS server is required for the SMTP and POP3 servers to
transmit the document over the Internet. To enable receiving an internet fax, configure the
POP3 account for this equipment in the POP3 server. This equipment can access the POP3
server to check if an internet fax message has been received — same as the E-mail client soft-
ware.
The color images cannot be sent by the Internet Fax. Same as the fax transmission, the origi-
nals will be converted to the black and white images when sending as an Internet Fax.
