method of entering the phone number of the conventional fax machine that will receive the relayed E-mail

mail applications: Some E-mail applications do not support sending to multiple phone numbers. If your E-
mail application cannot support multiple phone numbers you will only be able to relay to one fax machine
at a time. Enter the address of the relay machine and phone number of the fax in the “TO” box using the
same method used when sending from an machine. UKFAX@brother.co.uk(fax#123456789). For

5: Important information on Internet fax 13
Internet fax communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however,
it is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information
for using Internet fax:
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the circuit (such
as the internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20
sec. to 30 sec.).
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that
you use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document
to the receiver. Depending on receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will
not be sent back.
If the size of a document’s image data is huge, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.
You cannot change font and character size of Internet mail that you received.
