Overview of Internet Fax Function

This machine converts scanned document images to e-mail format and transmits the data over the Internet.

The e-mail sent by this machine can be received by another Internet Fax machine. Instead of dialing the telephone number of the destination you want to send to, you enter the relevant e-mail address (Internet Fax destination). If the machine at the other end supports T.37 full mode, bi-directional exchange of data such as available paper size and resolution is possible.

The document is attached to the e-mail and sent as a TIFF file attachment.

The Internet Fax function supported by this machine is compliant with ITU-T Recommendation T.37.
See Images of E-mail Received on a Computer for how e-mail is actually received by the computer.
