Note

  • This machine supports SMTPS (SMTP over SSL).

  • This machine supports Web mail sending.

  • In [System Settings], you can specify the administrator's e-mail address as the default sender name. This lets you send e-mail without entering anything for [Sender Name]. For detail, see "File Transfer", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.

  • Depending on the security setting, the logged-in user may be specified as [Sender Name].

  • To use Message Disposition Notification, log in to the machine as a user and specify the sender. Note, however, that the [Recept. Notice] notification e-mail may not be transmitted if the e-mail software of the recipient does not support Message Disposition Notification.

  • If you press [Preview] and then start scanning while [Preview] is selected, the Preview screen appears. You can use this screen to check how the originals are scanned and the scan setting used for scanning. After checking the preview, you can specify whether to send the file or not. For detail, see "How to Use the Screens on the Control Panel", Getting Started.

  • To cancel scanning, press the [Stop] key. Check the information displayed in the dialog box, and then press any button.

  • You can also store a scan file and simultaneously send it by e-mail. For details, see Simultaneous Storage and Sending by E-mail.

  • After an e-mail is sent, the destination, sender, subject, text, and file name fields will be automatically cleared. If you want to preserve the information in these fields, contact your local dealer.

  • You cannot switch the screen while e-mail or other destinations are being specified. To clear the specified destination, display the destination in the destination field of each screen, and then press the [Stop] key.
