Server Fax
The Server Fax feature enables users to send documents to one or more fax devices via the telephone
network without having a dedicated telephone line connected to the device. This is achieved by providing a
network 'fax server' with its own links to the telephone system. The device requires the Internet/Server Fax
Kit to be installed and a network connection to a Xerox certified third party server fax solution to enable
Server Fax. Refer to your Xerox Sales Representative for further information.
This section contains instructions to configure a fax filing location (repository) on your server. The fax server
retrieves the documents from the filing location and transmits them via the telephone network. The fax
server manages the fax transfer and has the ability to send confirmation reports which are printed at the
device.
Server Fax and Embedded Fax
The Embedded Fax and Server Fax services are mutually exclusive and only one of them can be enabled at
any time. If Server Fax is currently enabled and Embedded Fax is then enabled, Server Fax will be disabled
automatically. If Embedded Fax is currently enabled and Server Fax is then enabled, Embedded Fax will be
disabled automatically.
Server Fax Authentication and Authorization
Authentication (Service Access Control) can be enabled on the device to prevent unauthorized access to the
network options. If Authentication is enabled a user will be prompted to enter a user name and password, or
a PIN, before they can access the Fax feature. For a full description of the Authentication feature refer to the
Authentication section in this guide. Authentication can be configured after Server Fax has been installed.
