BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO INTERNET
Before connecting to the network, read this section to understand the Internet Fax functions.
POP and SMTP
The available functions depend on whether this machine is setup to use the POP or SMTP for retrieving
E-mail from a mail server.
POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):
“SMTP” is a mailing protocol for sending E-mail messages between servers. Usually the E-mail
systems that transfer E-mails over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to
another. Then the E-mail message can be retrieved with an E-mail client using either “POP” or
“IMAP”. “POP” is a protocol used to retrieve E-mail from a mail server.
When this machine uses POP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as a POP client. Similar to most E-mail applications, this machine uses POP for
receiving an E-mail message and SMTP for sending an E-mail message.
When this machine uses SMTP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as one of the mail servers. The machine can transfer an E-mail message in the
SMTP transmission.
The following table shows the available functions according to the type of the protocols set for the
Receive Mode.
Functions Receive Mode

If the use of the Offramp Gateway function is not necessary, it is recommended that the Receive Mode
is set to “POP” because some settings will be required to be set on the mail server if the Receive Mode
is set to “SMTP”. For more information about the Offramp Gateway function, see “OFFRAMP GATEWAY
SETUP” on page 3-35.
