Internet Fax/Email Features
Internet Communication
Transmission/Reception
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.
Note: PDF file is only available if sending the document(s) to a PC.
Internet Fax Delivery Notice (MDN)
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 Operating Instructions of each
respective email application.
