Server Fax
Server Fax allows you to send a fax over a network to a fax server, which then sends the fax to a fax
machine over a phone line.
Before you can send a server fax, you must configure a fax filing repository, or filing location. The fax
server retrieves the documents from the filing location and transmits them over the telephone network.
You can also print a transmission report.
Server Fax is an optional feature. See your Xerox Sales Representative for details.
Before you begin:
• Install the Internet and Server Fax Feature Enablement Kit. Follow the instructions in the kit.
Configure a Server Fax Filing Repository
Before you can send a server fax, you must configure fax repository settings. Once configured, the
printer will transfer faxed images to the repository. The fax server will then send the fax to its
destination over the phone line.
You can set up a repository that uses one of the following protocols:
•FTP
•SMB
• HTTP/HTTPS: A Web server using a CGI script.
• SMTP: A mail server.
Configuring a Fax Repository using FTP
Before you begin:
• Ensure that FTP services is running on the server or computer where images to be faxed by the
printer will be stored. Note the IP address or host name.
• Create a user account and password for the printer. When the Server Fax feature is used, the
printer logs in using the account, transfers the file to the server or computer and logs out. Note the
user account and password details.
• Create a directory within the FTP root to be used as a fax repository. Note the directory path.
Note: If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing
