Configure a Fax Filing Location (Repository)
Faxing from the multifunction device to a fax server is very similar to the other methods of faxing available
to users on the multifunction device. The user simply selects the Fax button from the All Services screen,
enters a Recipient phone number when prompted, places a document in the document handler, and
presses Start.
The scanned document is converted into a TIFF file, and a job log is sent along with the image data to the
fax server.
The transferred image resides in a directory on the fax server (commonly known as the fax repository).
The server monitors the repository for documents to be faxed, and faxes any documents it finds per the
routing instructions contained in the job log. The System Administrator uses a web browser on any
networked workstation to access the Internet Services web pages, residing on the device, to configure
communications with the fax server, and designate the location of the repository on the server.
Protocols available for use in communicating with the fax server include:
FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Requires an FTP service running on the fax server.
SMB (Server Message Block): Available for filing to an environment that supports the SMB protocol.
SMTP: Follow the basic instructions for enabling the E-mail ports in the Scan to E-mail section of this
guide. You will need to know the fully qualified domain name of the fax server on your network (e.g.
SMTP.yournet.net). Also, follow the fax server software manufacturer's instructions to establish fax server
to email server communications in your network environment.
