Internet Fax Features
Internet Communication Features
Your machine allows you to transmit documents over the Internet to another Internet Fax, or a PC. The document is first
scanned and converted into a TIFF-F, or PDF file, and then transmitted to the remote location as an attachment file to an email
using MIME encoding.
The email system at the receiving end must support MIME. Otherwise, the attachment file will be detached, and lost.
When you send an email message to someone, your machine uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to transfer your
outgoing mail to your SMTP mail server, which in turn uses SMTP to send your mail to the Internet.
■ Internet Fax Delivery Notice (MDN)
■ Transmission/Reception
If the sender (Internet Fax) desires a processing confirmation, it must request a Message Disposition Notification when sending
the message itself to a device supporting this notification function.
Several email applications such as Eudora and Outlook Express support, and are able to respond to the delivery confirmation
notification sent from the Internet Fax. As well as send a request for notification to the Internet Fax by email applications that
support MDN (Message Disposition Notification) function.
For additional details on MDN, consult a suitable reference such as the Help file, and the User's guide of each respective email
application.
