Relay broadcast from a computer
You can also send E-mail from your computer and have it relayed to a conventional fax machine. The
method of entering the phone number of the conventional fax machine that will receive the relayed E-mail
will vary depending on the mail application you are using. The following are some examples of different
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
Outlook 97/98/2000/2002 and 2003 the address information must be entered into the address book as
follows: Name: fax#123456789. E-mail address: UKFAX@brother.co.uk
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.
