About Internet Fax
You can perform the Internet Fax function that provides the ability to transmit a scanned original
as an E-mail, with an attached TIFF-FX (Profile S) file. Since an Internet line is used instead of a
phone line, the communication cost can be reduced.
In this function, an E-mail address is specified in place of a phone number to transmit a scanned
original to the Internet Fax equipment or the client computers.
When the Internet Fax is received, it is automatically output like regular Fax.
The administrator needs to configure the network settings for Internet Fax to function. See the
Network Administration Guide.
Precaution for Internet Transmission
Transmissions using the Internet Fax function are the same as E-mail transmissions.
Before you start to use the Internet Fax function, it is recommended that you read this section
and understand the precautions for Internet transmission.
y The Internet Fax sends a document to the Internet E-mail server and it does not send via the
PSTN* like regular facsimile transmissions.
y Internet transmission has low security. It is recommended that you use regular facsimile
transmission when a confidential document is sent.
y It may take a considerable amount of time for the recipient to receive the document because
of the line traffic in the Internet.
y If the document being transmitted has a large amount of data, it may not be successfully sent
due to the configuration of the E-mail server.
y If the Internet Fax is sent to the multiple recipients at the same time and the header page is
set to be printed on the recipient’s devices, all recipient’s addresses will be printed on the
header page. If you want to secure the recipient information, send the Internet Fax sepa-
rately to each recipient rather than sending to the multiple recipients at the same time.
* PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is a global telephone system capable of communicating
worldwide using copper wires to transmit analog data.
