E-mail received via SMTP can be routed to other fax machines.

Important

  • Before routing e-mail received via SMTP, you first must set “SMTP RX File Delivery Settings” to “On” in the Facsimile Features menu. See “SMTP Reception File Delivery Settings”.

  • Depending on security settings, this function may not be available.

The originator can request transfer of e-mail sent to another fax machine by specifying the e-mail address as follows:

Fax Number

fax=destination fax number@host name of this machine.domain name

Example: to transfer to fax number 212-123-4567:

fax=2121234567@abc.company.com

Single destination programmed in the destination list

fax=Sharpregistration number of 5 digits or less@host name of this machine.domain name

Example: to transfer to the destination number 00001:

fax=Sharp00001@abc.company.com

Group destination programmed in the destination list

fax=SharpAsteriskAsteriskregistration number of 5 digits or less@host name of this machine.domain name

Example: to transfer to the destination programmed under group number 00004:

fax=SharpAsteriskAsterisk00004@abc.company.com

Note

  • E-mail received via SMTP can also be routed to single or group destinations programmed in the destination list.

  • If the receiver is an Internet Fax/e-mail destination, e-mail can be encrypted and routed with a digital signature. Use both “SMTP RX File Delivery Settings” on the Facsimile Features menu and Web Image Monitor to specify whether or not to apply encryption and a digital signature. For details about SMTP RX File Delivery Settings, see “SMTP Reception File Delivery Settings”.

  • If an e-mail transfer request is received when the “SMTP RX File Delivery Settings” is “Off” in the Facsimile Features menu, this machine responds with an error message to the SMTP server.

  • You can make settings that limit transfer to specified originators.

  • Using this function, you can also send documents from your e-mail application to e-mail addresses and G3 fax machines' destinations through this machine simultaneously.

  • For the maximum number of destinations you can register in a group, see “Maximum Values”.

  • The Facsimile Features menu provides a user parameter setting (switch 32, bit 0) that allows you to select a priority order for alternative destinations for sent documents. When this parameter is set, if the specified receiver is a group destination that includes an address not registered for the specified transmission type, the document is routed to an alternative destination. See “Parameter Settings”.
