Search by a destination's number or address

You can search the Address Book or LDAP server for a destination by entering the destination's fax number, e-mail address, or path to the folder.

To use an LDAP server, the LDAP server must be registered in "Program/Change/Delete LDAP Server" and "LDAP Search" must be set to "On" on the System Settings menu in advance. For details, see "Administrator Tools", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.

The search returns only destinations whose first characters match the entered characters.

You cannot use the LDAP server to search for a folder.

1Press the transmission type tab to switch the transmission type to fax/IP-Fax, Internet Fax, e-mail, or folder.

Note

  • For details about text entry, see "Entering Text", Getting Started.

  • A warning message appears if the search returns more than the maximum number of destinations you can search for at a time. Press [Exit] and change the destination name to view fewer destinations. For the maximum number of destinations you can search at a time using [Search Dest.], see Maximum Values.

  • Although one user can program multiple e-mail addresses, only one address can be retrieved by the search. The address retrieved by the search depends on the searching method supported by the LDAP server. However, the address programmed first is normally retrieved.
