Setup Flow for Internet Fax
The Internet Fax feature allows users to send scanned images to other Internet Fax
devices over the Internet. The Internet Fax is similar to Scan to Email, but it converts
the scanned image to a TIFF-S format at a resolution accepted by most of facsimiles.
This equipment sends the internet faxes via an 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 Inter-
net 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 Email client software.
Setup Procedure
1. Setting up the DNS, SMTP, and POP3 servers.
You must configure the SMTP server to send Internet Fax, the POP3 server to
receive Internet Fax, and the DNS server to enable transferring the data over the
Internet.

2. Setting up the TCP/IP and the HTTP Network Service to
enable TopAccess.
You should set the TCP/IP and HTTP Network Service from the Touch Panel
Display the first time you use it, to make TopAccess available.
The Internet Fax features are available only when the Scanner Kit is installed, or
when the Printer/Scanner Kit is installed.
