Using the machine's Address Book as the LAN-Fax destination list

Using SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, you can copy the machine's Address Book data as a CSV file to a computer. This file can then be used as the LAN-Fax Destination List, and can also be installed on the machine using [Address Management Tool]. This section explains how to use the Address Book for LAN-Fax.

To use this function, you must first download SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin from the manufacturer's Web site and install it on your computer. Contact your local dealer for information on downloading SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin.

Copying the machine's Address Book to a computer

For details about operating procedure, see SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin Help.

  1. Launch SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin.

    • If machine names are not displayed in the list:

      If nothing is displayed in the list, select [Search/Monitoring Settings] on the [Searched Device List] menu, specify the range of IP addresses. For example, if the range of IP addresses is 192.168.0.1–192.168.0.25, select the [Specify Address] check box, and then enter "192.168.0.1" in the [From] box and "192.168.0.25" in the [To] box. Click [Add], and then [OK].

      If the machine's IP address still does not appear in the list, check the settings of any security applications that are installed, as these settings might be disabling display of the IP address.

      You can check the machine's IP address on the control panel using "Machine IPv4 Address" on the [System Settings] menu. For details, see "Interface Settings", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.

  2. Select the model of your machine, click [Address Management Tool] on the [Tools] menu.

  3. In the [Enter Authentication Information] dialog box, specify the user name and password, and then click [OK].

    Contact your administrator for the user name and password.

  4. In the [Address Management Tool] dialog box, click [Export Data] on the [File] menu.

    If the “The password information cannot be reused in any device.” message appears, click [OK].

  5. Select where to store the file, and then click [Save].

    The following three files will be stored:

    • "Machinemodel_addr.csv"

    • "Machinemodel_faxinfo.csv"

    • "Machinemodel_taginfo.csv"

    "Machinemodel_addr.csv" will be used as the Address Book file.
